    Now guys, there is no need to get so excited about problems with this mod install... However, if most people are able to install the mod without any problem, then, those of you that do have some problems are, sorry to say that, having issues with one of the two:

    1) system configuration
    2) computer knowledge

    Now, there isn't much we can actually do about any of that, but some guidelines can be given (although they are in no way a guarantee of successful installation):

    1) always use 7zip to extract files
    2) if using Firefox Web Browser > in no way (and I really mean it) do anything else (browsing the net, installations, etc) while the files are downloading... even if you do use other Web Browswers, restrain yourself for the time the files are downloading
    3) be sure to have right authorities on your system; Windows7 & Vista could have UAC problem (here's how you disable it)
    4) always use Run as Administrator button (right click on the setup.exe > Run as Administrator)
    5) do not do other activities during installation
    6) do not run any maintenance software during installation

    now, this is all widely known know-how in modding community. these few simple rules apply to almost all games (and all engines of TW I am familiar with). following them could do a great deal for you to ensure good and playable mod.

    there is always a problem of having a lack of computer knowledge. in that case, go to the Installation & Launcher Thread in the forums main page and follow the instructions to the letter. Read them carefully, we have invested a lot of time to make them understandable to most of people. If you have a problem understanding english, ask someone to help you out...

    I agree with them.
    I have been looking forward to this mode. I'm disappointed.

    Hi

    Basically i installed 3.0 then 3.1 and only managed to get the warpath campaign to work... however most the units looked like clay (dunnot why). So uninstalled both acw and etw, then re installed etw followed by the 3.2 version of acw (both zip files and the music one) making sure not a single trace was left on my computer of all previous installs. However im now getting this message when i load up either campaign

    I have a folder called ACW in ETW, with .pack files in it. What else should I try?

    "Error: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got string)

    Side Traceback:

    1: [Page 1 -> Button 2 -> On Click] Line: 227 in main chunk"

    Anyone have any idea's what the problem is? Or how to fix this?

    Uninstall them and install latest 3.2 plus the 2 fixes in tech sub forum.

    Wait... so i havent installed 3.0 yet so do I need to install 3.0 first before installing 3.2? Plus im using 7zip and its not extracting part 1 or part 2 for 3.2

    no, you just download both parts of 3.2, start extracting the first one (the second will follow automatically) and then install 3.2 as a standalone version...

    all the necessary info is in this thread in the OP (opening post)

    I got it installed and I started steam and started the launcher, and chose the campaign, RTI 3, and it seemed to be working until it popped up a message about files belonging niether to vanilla or acw, but i continued anyway. For a while nothing happened, so I restarted the launcher and checked the files and deleted the one mod that was neither acw or vanilla. The message still popped up and I still clicked continue. This time it said "launching empire" and i waited and nothing happened, the game didnt start. So I restarted the launcher again and still the same thing. ???

    So I restarted steam as well, and this time when I clicked CS it did the same thing except steam popped up saying launching empire... still nothing, so I tried to launch etw by itself and it did the same thing... hmmm
    Note: Where is the edit button so i can combine this with my previous post?

    EDIT: merged double post... no worry, you have to have at least 25 posts and be a member for a week to be able to use edit button option... I did it for you this time... cheers MM

    You have to login manually in Steam first and then start ACW (or any mod that uses a launcher). If you miss that and receive a CTD then you have to reboot before trying again. Do not start ACW through Steam but use its own shortcut or exe.

    I have installed the mod i believe. The launcher shows up and everything and one time i was able to click US and the game run. However when I got to the faction selection it showed all of the Empire total war factions. I have closed the launcher and clicked ACW ready. I re luanched the launcher and when It tries to run it crashes on the loading screen. idk if I have done something wrong but its getting quite frustrating.

    please, slowly and thoroughly follow installation instructions and you will be fine... make sure you install your mod so that your installation path ends with \empire total war and not something else(like \data)

    Hey people, congratulations for release!

    Question: Can I play TB&TG 3.2 with Steam in offline mode? I always suffer from CTDs when I play Steam games in online mode...

    Regards and Cheers!

    Yes, you can play ACW 3.2 in Steam offline mode (i don't know what's "TB&TG" though).

    For all others who perhaps do not understand "Steam offline": Start Steam while you are offline from the internet, and then the ACW launcher (solely doesn't work for MP games).

    I haven't installed 3.2 yet, as I've been pretty busy and wanted to finish my 3.1 Union campaign. But, after several days passed where I didn't play at all, when I tried to launch ACW today, it would get to the loading screen and then crash. I tried to launch as both Union and Confederate, tried with both RTI3 and Warpath campaigns, and tried restarting the computer and doing everything again, and nothing worked. I went through the files and found that nothing had been changed. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
