Problem with eb1.0

[bovi]

I actually meant the checklist, not the validation results, but thanks for those all the same (they check out ).

Your current shortcut probably has in the target field (right-click and choose properties):
c:\your\rtw\folder\RomeTW.exe -mod:eb

Change this to
c:\your\rtw\folder\RomeTW.exe -mod:eb -nm

While you're at it, you can add -ne as well if you want to run it windowed:
c:\your\rtw\folder\RomeTW.exe -mod:eb -nm -ne

X Using a nocd crack? Your game won't work, use the original executable instead. There is no point in trying the rest of the list until you install a fresh, clean 1.5 RTW.
X Install RTW and EB once again, from scratch
X Install using 7-zip rather than installer
X Download a map.rwm file and place it in eb/data/world/maps/base (requires both the disaster and Oppida permanent fixes)
_ Add -nm to the shortcut
_ Delete some interfering files that Vista hides in its bowels
X Run the validation tool to diagnose the problem
_ Install the fixes linked in my sig
_ Add more swap space in Windows, and other technical measures you can take
X Using RTW Gold? Try to uninstall everything and do not install BI
_ Got an ATI Radeon X700 graphics card? Apparently some setting called "Support DXT textures format" is creating problems. Try to change this setting for the driver called "Support DXT textures format".
