Playable via Steam?

[vartan]

The problem you have with Steam is the problem I have playing EB with the Alex engine. It isn't a problem because I do exactly what A Very Super Market suggests (a four-word user name...really???!!!).

Start > Programs > Europa Barbarorum > Configuration

Set the dropdown box to Multiplayer (or Singleplayer) as you wish.

Click on 'Save and Exit'.

Open the game using the appropriate launcher (in my case Alex shortcut, in your case Steam).

---------------------------------

I would love if anyone could help out with this, as there may be people who need the following.

When people buy RTW Complete Pack on Steam, apparently Gold (BI and RTW) is installed in one folder, while Alex is installed in another folder completely. As such, EB mod folder is only available to RTW and BI executables. To make the shortcut for EB on Alex, one would need 4770 code number (as 4760 is RTW Gold). Now, we cannot simply place a copy of Alex executable in RTW Gold folder and run the shortcut, for several reasons. First, it is not enough. There is a critical file that is known as a SAN file somewhere, that is installed during Alex installation. That is necessary as well. It seems like a big mess. Anybody who runs EB Alex and has Steam (or anyone in that case), I would appreciate some input.

Thanks,
