    Dunno if this is relevant, but for a while I had a "game CTDs upon loading" problem too. Eventually the issue turned out to be something right stupid - the RTW patches themselves needed to be uninstalled, so they could later be reinstalled properly into the clean install... the 1.3 patch at least was like that.

    Once I did that, the game started working without problems.

    Wonder if it's the same problem here ?

Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature.

    Mr. Durian, I'm very sorry to hear that it still is not working. What you are describing sounds very much like a video card problem rather than an installation problem. If you have not done so already, I highly recommend updating the drivers for your video card, particularly as some GeForce cards with older drivers appear not to be interacting well with EB.

    It would very much help us track down this problem if you could give us some step-by-step feedback as to what exactly is happening. I understand that you just want to get in and play, and I sympathize with the frustration of a game that just won't work for you. However, the more we know, the more likely we can figure out what's going on, get you up and running on EB, and ensure this doesn't happen for other folks just like yourself.

    Please take a look at Bovi's thread and go down the checklist of things you have tried so that he can suggest what steps to take next.

    Before you proceed any further, we really need to know what operating system you have. Windows XP? 2000? Vista?

    We also need to know what base type of RTW you are trying to use. RTW? RTW: Barbarian Invasion? RTW Gold Edition? RTW Alexander?

    I think this will work in all three of those, but - could you go to the directory where you have installed EB, right-click on the folder called EB, and select Properties? Once you have done so, wait for the properties menu to count the files and the file size. After that, write down the total number of files and the total file size. Please paste both numbers here so we can verify that EB installed correctly.

    Have you tried bovi's Installation Validator mentioned in this thread? If not, please go try that now and let us know what the results are.

    We can't help unless we get more info, so please do what you can to fill in the gaps for us.

    Thanks!

    I think it was not mentioned that by some odd circumstance, a few people got their EB 1.0 working by replacing the file map.rwm with another one that they got somewhere else. Before uninstalling anything, try that one.

    Hey guys I got it to work. I uninstalled BI and and reinstalled RTW without the expansion. But I wish to reinstall BI again cause I heard this would make the gameplay better in EB. I'm just worried if I install BI that this would corrupt my EB and I wont be able to play my saved game.

    ok, so uninstalled BI and the mod works now. I have RTW gold edition by the way. I'm going to install BI this time and install EB with 7 zip and see if that will work. Can anyone give me a reason why EB wont work with BI in the RTW gold edition?

    Answered in the validation thread.

    Having problems getting EB2 to run? Try these solutions.

    Okay I think I know exactly what he did, I did the same thing.


    He installed 8.0
    then 8.1
    etc etc then EB1


    In other words(lol same mod over and over again)

    EDIT: Yeah I gave up on BI too, ended up ignoring it for a while.
