EB installation validation

[bovi]

New version available that ignores the vanilla models_unit, custom battles and version.inf.

[Foot]

why check the vanilla data folder at all? If it is a corrupt install wouldn't the problem lie in the EB folder only?

For two whole days I have been trying to find an answer for my EB 1 CTDs ,
I have posted this on TWC forums, but, I will do it again here .
My prob is only the CTDs when I chose to play with a faction, custom and historic battles, when I go next I am out of the game with no message.
So I look here and I used program that Bovi made and I got this:
Changed file: .\rometw.exe


What do I do to play EB 1 ????

thank you for your time

Definitely not. The most likely scenario is that they have installed in something that is not a clean 1.5 RTW. As long as the installer runs, it will have verified its own integrity and should therefore always give an intact installation, except for some of our Chinese friends apparently.

Maksimus:

Let me know here if when you find a problem with this program. DO NOT post the results of your scan here, do that in your own help thread.

Bovi, I ran that updated version, and now the results are down to:

You seem to have a corrupt install. There are changes to files, or some are missing.
However, these may be conscious changes you have made, to remod EB. See below for details.
==========
Changed file: .\eb\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\descr_strat.txt
Added file: .\eb\custom\previous battle.cbt
Added file: .\temp\battle.rpy

First file is correct, but those other two files are the result of me playing a custom battle (which I hadn't done when I first ran the validator). Might want to skip them too

Definitely not. The most likely scenario is that they have installed in something that is not a clean 1.5 RTW. As long as the installer runs, it will have verified its own integrity and should therefore always give an intact installation, except for some of our Chinese friends apparently.

Maksimus:

I was able to play EB previous versions just fine, I dont see a reason why it should not work now? Unless there are some changes in the way EB 1 is installed onto my PC

Thank you for you time

[bovi]

Thanks again Batahr .

Just a side note, in RTW Gold RomeTW.exe is different and there is no Data\packs\patch_1.pak
