I've given up on this mod...

[Bootsiuv]

Sounds like the checking integrity thing?

Could be a corrupt download. Bovi would know much more about this than me though.

Have you tried redownloading the mod, perhaps from a different mirror?

There are also repair files someone made available IIRC.

Sorry I don't have better answers.

BTW, your comp can definitely play EB, with some frills like clouds and campaign shadows turned on, no less!!

To those who say EB is a "stable" mod, I can gladly point other mods that are 100% lighter and far more stable. EB is much more like an over-bloated and delicate Leviathan that makes many computers lag terribly and crash due to the excessive use of system resources. Yep, it's great, but definetely not the best in stability terms so far.

We prefer the term "comfortably fed".

How can you say EB isn't stable, I have NEVER once had a CTD, EVER.

This is an interesting statement. Have you encountered this personally? If so, what system specifications/operating system?

I'm throwing it in the air...



I had several CTDs, on vanilla, BI and EB, bitched, and my bro-in-law chided me for buying an ati card. He told me to update my driver. I did, It stable now. End of story.

My personal experience is that NVidia drivers are way, way more unstable than ATI's. I had to run on drivers from a year and a half back for any sort of compatibility on my crappy old card (which was definitely not an old card at the time). Upgraded to ATI, took the latest driver => instant stability.

Nvidia drivers suck, I agree. I own three games right now that can only run if I remove my current driver and install an ancient one instead.

EB is relatively stable if you can feed the enourmous creature it really is with lots of system resources: memory, processor speed, video card, etc... I've got a lot of lagging and CTD's because it reached a point where my computer just couldn't get enough resources from anywhere. Apart from that, relatively few systems here have enough resources to run EB without lag, especially the last 1.0 version.

BTW, I have 1GB of RAM.

See, that's strange, because I have 756 MB of ram with a 2.7 gig processor, and I've gotten forty years into a campaign without any problems

Now I understand why Bovi and the rest of the team didn't compile a min sys req's....who the hell knows?

[Mr Durian]

So I reinstalled everything again. Tried to start a new campaign but just another CTD. I guess I'll wait again to install.

[Bootsiuv]

Have you tried reinstalling Rome completely? Or just EB?

Sorry if you said that already, but I would recommend starting with a fresh install of RTW v1.5 if you haven't already.

Aside from that, I'm sorry I can't be more helpful, as I've experienced no problems.

Perhaps you've got a corrupt download?
