Campaign's don't work in 270, 275 and 310 BC series?

[gijas]

Downloaded all three series campaigns but when I try to start one by selecting a faction nothing happens meaning it does not start the campaign game. In 275 BC the only faction I got working was the first one which is a Red Roman sub-faction. The other two BC campaigns 270, 310 don't work with any of the listed factions? Why is it not working?

I´m afraid it has something to do with your installation. Never heard of such problems. Could you please tell us how you installed the mods.

Sure. I copyed the mod folder into my main RTW folder. I have Steam version and the Gold edition which includes RTW and BI together. I copyed the mod folder in the zip file into this main RTW gold edition folder and renamed the mod folders after the year it represents for example 270bc, 275bc, 280bc. Is this wrong?

Well this is how it should be done:

Download the latest version and unzip it to your desktop

1. Navigate to your main Rome - Total War folder.
2. Move the folder titled "europa270bc" (310bc) or "mm3" (270bc) or "modfolder" (275bc) or "my_mod" (280bc) into the main Rome - Total War folder. (You do not have to rename the folders)
3. Go to your desktop and make a copy of your Rome - Total War shortcut.
4. Rename the shortcut(s)
5. Right click on the new shortcut and click on Properties and then the Shortcut tab.
6. In the target line, completely AFTER everything in quotes, paste this (with the space in front): -show_err -mod:europa270bc (or -mod:mm3 or...)
7. Close everything up and you're good to go.

Thank you. I got them all to work with your typed instructions. Only one (275 BC) mod works great without crashing.. take that back they all crash usually before or after a battle during the turn phase. But it seems random mostly and not during the same event in each mod nor each time I play.

I´m still afraid that it has either something to do with the way you installed it or your RTW. Is it vanilla, did you try reinstalling RTW?

And Happy new year of course!
