    Hmm... A number of sets of binary information has been changed, almost as if you opened the file with Notepad or something...

    This could get too technical, but do you have a hex editor? If so, make a backup of the descr_items.db, then replace all occurences of
    B8 E6 18 with 88 D7 17
    F0 73 with E8 84
    C8 C6 with 28 D7
    88 8A with C8 9A
    C0 8A with 00 9B
    98 BA with A8 CA

    If it makes no difference to make these replacements, make a new 1.5 RTW installation and copy the patch_1.pak file from there to the installation containing EB.

    =========

    If you have no clue what I'm talking about above, please try to install 1.5 RTW again somewhere and copy the descr_items.db and patch_1.pak files from that installation into the one you have now.

    Having problems getting EB2 to run? Try these solutions.

    Reinstalled everything, wiped all traces of RTW from my system - and the same thing happened...

    The files are still missing

    Could someone upload the patch_1.pak and descr_items.db files so I could just replace them?

    Thanks a lot, in advance

    Are you using Vista? Several others have reported that it stores some crap in another folder that appears to override the files you've installed. Could this be the case for you too? Not likely though, as there are missing files...

    Have you tried the other solutions people have come up with, BTW? Downloading a map.rwm file seems to work for many.

    Here's an archive with the files you lack.

    Changed file: .\data\fmv\atvi_spinning_logo_640x480.wmv (expected checksum 7e15895ba7a723535f55e4deb91c085b, got e9ac1729af2fdeffe8365a567cd76b23)
    Changed file: .\data\menu\splash.tga (expected checksum a57cc84af0e6c1300577336f17e0bfd6, got d1329cf835f69e6dff4b4cc0cb08d144)

    I don't think those files affect anything EB... It doesn't run now either? Does vanilla run fine?

    The ways people with problems have got it to work, I think amounts to these below. Could you verify that this is correct for your situation?

    X download map.rwm (didn't work)
    X install from scratch (didn't work)
    X delete some interfering files that Vista hides in its bowels (not Vista)
    ? Install using 7-zip rather than installer

    You can also download Filemon and run that while you start the game. It won't directly make it work of course, but it will log file access, which may or may not help finding out why it crashes. Remember to limit Filemon's scope to the RTW folder with EB, or there will be tons and tons of garbage data to sift through. I think Tellos Athenaios made a guide somewhere in this subforum on how to set it up.
