Here is everything I've done, most likely I'm missing a step....

I started with a fresh install of vanilla rome, then installed BI, then EB, and then Ferromancers installer for BI. Then I tried playing and it gave me the above error. I haven't started a campaign with RomeTW.exe and have no save games, but the custom battles work with BI. What I'm I doing wrong?

PS: I also noticed at the loading screen after the opening cinematic that it always gives me the same historical quote about the caledonians saying they are the last free people in the world every time I run the game. Anyone else notice this?

EDIT:This might be similar to gosam's problem from the second post on this thread, but since it's an updated version from the one he refers to, it might not be.

you installed it to the wrong directory...

Well hopefully you guys can help me with this. I'm using Ferromancer's mod plus Force Diplomacy and I don't know whether this is just a save that got corrupted or a fixable problem. I installed everything properly and all was going well but now whenever I try to load this particular save it gets to the end and CTDs. A shame really but thankfully I have a previous save that is not too far back but if anyone wants to check it out, here it is.

I am playing as Romani.

@mcantu

I don't think it's the wrong directory...

I installed rome, eb, and bi to

Code:

C:\Users\Ralph\Games\Rome - Total War

I made a backup of this folder then installed the installer for EB with BI to the original folder. Is this the wrong directory or is there some other problem? I'm using Vista btw.

I'm having the same problem as Ralph, can you clarify what you mean here? I installed R:TW, installed BI, and installed the 1.6 patch. I then installed EB to the base Rome Total War directory and then installed this to that same directory. Was I supposed to install either EB or this to the BI directory instead?

Anyone?

I had the same problems with this installer a few month ago. I then followed the advises in this old thread after installing Ferromancers mod: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showp...3&postcount=85
If I remember it well, I did not have to create a shortcut, because the installer did that, but I renamed the files and since then it worked.

Does this installer work with EB1.2?

**a completely inoffensive name** · 11-23-2008, 04:45

I reinstalled 1.1, used the installer, then 1.2 over that and it works perfectly. (I only had to reinstall due to all my minimods, if you have none you should be good just installing 1.2 over EB 1.1-BI).

Not everything works. The shield wall and swim abilities are not working if you just install 1.2 over 1.1

That being said, the no banners, night battles, and BI AI are all working.
