EB for Macintosh - questions & support thread

[Efilzeo]

Good day to everyone, I'm a new enter here and first of all I want to say you that I'm sorry for my bad English.

Probably what I'm going to ask you was already asked from someone else but I can't find it on the forums so I ask here.

I have Rome (I live in Rome yeah! :D ) Total War and I've also a mac, I downloaded European Barbarorum and follow the instructions taked from here: https://www.europabarbarorum.com/downloads_mod.html but unfortunately when I launch the script it shows me this error:




but the game is in the Application folder, as you can see:



What could be the problem according to you ?

Thanks for the attention
Have a good day

Your Rome game folder does not have any icons on it, if you bought the game using genuine DVD this folder will have a custom folder image. I think you might be using a pirated version of the game. As you also have SerialBox (a serial code piracy tool) installed I think we can safely say that your problem is because you don't own a genuine version of the game.

So the solution is to buy a copy from an Apple store or the Feral website.

Hi Edwin,
I have just downloaded the app from the App Store..and therefore am certainly running a legit copy of the game, however, I seem to be getting the same error as the gentleman above. To wit, the terminal script seems to not be able to find the game depite its being in the applications folder as that is where the App store put it...as a result, I am unable to install mods and unable to run EB. please help. Thanks.

This is what I got after EB crashed, after a minute or so of the title screen loading. What went wrong, and how can I fix it without worsening the problem? Thank you in advance, this is rather frustrating.

I bought Rome Total War: Gold for Mac, and downloaded the RomeModSetup, as well as RTR and EB. I followed the instructions but I get the "please select item from list". I saw earlier someone mentioned not having properly updated. Also I don't have a separate item for Rome and Barbarian Invasion, they are combined and was wondering if maybe my problem is I am using Gold. Is there anyway to fix this for the Gold version? Thanks
