New installer for Europa Barbarorum with Barbarian Invasion

Hi,

I'm having a problem with EB1.2 with BI - I hope someone can help.

I installed as instructed but did the EB1.2 updates manually before installing the BI setup exe. No other mods.
So the problem is as follows - when I capture a town/city if I click on the recruitment tab I crash to desktop.
Running under XP SP3. I've previously been running EB1.2 with RTW with no issues.

Thanks in advance.

Don't do the EB1.2 updates manually :)

Thanks Ferromancer - is it a known bug?

I have tried the install both ways now. First try I installed
RTW
BI
1.6
EB 1.1
EB 1.2
BI Mod

and that failed as the game would not allow me to choose a faction because of errors with year. I then tried
RTW
1.3
1.5
BI
1.6
EB 1.1
EB 1.2
BI Mod

and again got the same problem. I am running XP Service pack 2 as an admin. Soon installing Windows 7 64bit so I can't imagine what problems I will have with just EB soon.

Why not wait awhile for Windows 7? If it is anything like vista, you will have your hands full of problems and wasted RAM. XP is a solid OS. I see no reason to switch, unless you just have to have more "eye" candy.

If you have alex, go with the mod pack. Very stable. I had no problems with the following process:

RTW-Gold > Alex > EB 1.1 > 1.2 > official fixes > minimod pack (3.1) > LZ3's script adaptation > phalanx mod > RS textures mod > naval strat mod > Lysander's sihunet formations adaptations > EOM 2.1b V.T. Marvin's Adaptation

The new computer I built has 6 gigs of RAM but XP only supports 4 so I have 2 not being utilized. I still have 1 more channel available so I could cheaply add another 2 gigs if I wanted. I do have Alex so I might just try that route.
