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".

I installed all the fixes but nothing changes.

I dont use vista or ATI Radeon X700 graphics card.

I don't have any RomeTW.exe -mod:eb
When i add nm to mu RomeTW.exe its format changes and i can't run the game.

Ill try the technical measures and see what hapens = o

It's format... changes? You do know that EB 0.8x has this switch by default, and works by your own words? Please check that you've got it correctly.

C:\Arquivos de programas\Jogos!\Europa Barbarorum 1.0

Thats the folder i installed EB1.0, and there is no RomeTW.exe -mod:eb
All i got there is a RomeTW.exe
Yes, i can play EB0.81
I use "search" in my computer and it did not find any RomeTW.exe -mod:eb
O.o
Tell me if this what you meant our im being a Computer noob as always xD

[Stone and Blood]

All that is left me to try is to add the -nm, but i still don't understand how to, i can't finde the RomeTW.exe -mod:eb archive.

What drives me crazy is the crazy menu screen. does anyone had it before? Still CTD when starting campaing or custom battle... :S

[Stone and Blood]

oh! i added the -nm thing, my crazy menu screen has been fixeD, but i still have CTD >.<

Seems you understood that I was talking about the shortcut in the end . Your folder structure doesn't seem to be an RTW installation, but it should be alright as the validation was successful.

* Please try to delete all map.rwm files, including the ones in the vanilla structure. There are likely three of them.

* Please try to move your RTW with EB into a structure without any spaces, such as C:\EB10 (so that you have C:\EB10\RomeTW.exe and C:\EB10\EB etc). You will have to change your shortcut to run from this location.


If nothing else works, the only thing left I can think if is pretty technical... Let me know which parts of this that are incomprehensible, as I'm sure it's not easy to understand for a computer illiterate.

Try to have FileMon monitor your RTW directory as you run the game. You can download FileMon here (it's safe, I promise). Remember to limit its scope to only the RTW directory and its subfolders with Options=>Filter/Highlight. Save the log, zip it and upload to a file hosting service like rapidshare.com, then post the link here so I can see what is happening at the point where it stops.
