RTR VII Download Mirrors and Installation Guide

**BazTurner** · February 10, 2012, 05:22 AM

Hi all, i see you need Barbarian Invasion for this Mod. Could someone please tell me if there's anything out there just for Rome Total War with no add_ons. Things i'd like the most is better AI, basically just better battles.

Thank you

Hello All, I've had an issue in installing RTR 7, when ever I finish the download, and I re-route the download to the xxxx/steam/steamapps/common/rome total war gold or whatever, and it says it invalid.
I use the Steam version, and I copy and pasted the xxxx/steam/steamapps/common/rome total war gold thing if that makes a difference (I made sure there were no extra spaces)
Thank you everybody for your time.

I think that there must be a problem with your installation. I'd recommend to uninstall RTR and then download and install it again in a seperate modfolder just to make sure that nothing else interferes with it. Good luck!

I don't recognize this issue. Maybe you could try downloading another browser such as Firefox of Chrome. That might solve the problem

I'm sorry that this took a while, I've been having a quite busy RL the last weeks. As for the error, I don't have the Steam edition of RTW, so I can't give you any advise based on my personal experience. What I suggest is to uninstall RTR and then install it again following every step of the Steam guide:

If using the Steam version of the game follow the directions below-

Run the RTR VII installer like normal, changing the install path to xxxx/steam/steamapps/common/rome total war gold
Ignore the launcher and short-cut prompts, they won't work
Open Steam, right-click on Rome: Total War Gold in the My Games menu
Select Properties
Under the General tab select Set launch options ...
Type in -mod:RTRVII -show_err -nm without quotations and click OK
Launch Rome: Total War Gold by double-clicking it in the My Games menu
Select Barbarian Invasion from the two-choice list and Launch.

Good luck!

Thank you Maunits, I really appreciate the feedback

I'm sorry for being impatient as well, I just love what I've seen from this mod

**SuperAwesome** · February 25, 2012, 11:47 AM

I tried re-installing Rome, and that didnt do the trick.

What should I do?

**Maurits** · February 25, 2012, 11:57 AM

I don't see why it wouldn't work for so many Steam users and not for you

Could you please explain what you did exactly step by step? Copying your target line might help, too.

**SuperAwesome** · February 25, 2012, 07:45 PM

Well first I used the strategy informer link to download it, then when it finished downloading, I changed the install path to xxxx/steam/steamapps/common/rome total war gold (I used copy and paste as I said before), and then it says "invalid install path" then the installer just dissapears

**Maurits** · February 26, 2012, 05:49 AM

Aha, I see your problem

Instead of 'xxx' you should add your personal system data. For instance, I'd have to use this link:

C:/Program Files/Steam/...

I think that will solve your problem

Hey guys, beautiful mod and the first I have tried for any of the Total War series but I am having some issues.
1) When I first start a campaign in RTR VII all of the in game map menu functions will not work, like construction, recruitment etc, etc I can't even click and select a unit in a town. It will let me select an army outside a town and move it, and generally move around the map but that is about it. Now I have figured out, if I save the campaign immediately then load it everything works. But fixing this would be nice, I'm sure it's something on my end, didn't see any issues on this but I just skimmed the forum.
Also I have two other issues:
2) Battles are very choppy even at recommended settings and my rig is no slouch.
3) Have had several crashes while starting battles. Am I missing something?

Rig:
ASUS SLI motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8Ghz
8GB DDR2 800Mhz Memory
Two Nvidia 9600GTS 1GB SLI'd Video Cards

Have installed the RTW & BI from scratch with the 1.6 patch and the RTRVII patch 1a
Will try again, this time I will clean the registry before reinstall but any suggestions would be much appreciated...

Thanks in advance

**SuperAwesome** · February 27, 2012, 02:15 PM

Oh yea Mauritis, can you run the install wizard again without having to wait an hour for the mod to download again?

**Maurits** · February 27, 2012, 03:58 PM

When you don't delete the download after having installed the game, you can just use it again as many times as you like

I'm sure that this is a corrupted install. Your rig is above average, you've got the correct patches so everything should work. I'd advise to delete VII, download it again from another mirror and then reinstall everything following the instructions. Then it should work
