1. Make sure Steam is running. Game will crash during launch if it's not.
2. Run ACW3 launcher.
3. Go to "Submods", unclick and reclick "Zone of Recruitment"
4. Select US or CS (if you launch US, you can't play CS campaign and the other way around).
5. Play game.

I just bought Empire on Steam, with Warpath and nothing else, and ran the vanilla game to make sure it worked (it did). I then installed ACW. With Steam running, after checking "Zone of Recruitment" and attempting to start as the Union, I get this error message: "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empire Total War\Empire.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."

I closed the launcher and selected "ACW Ready," and then launched the game via Steam. It just launched vanilla Empire.

I also noticed that the log has "Steam Status: Off," but Steam is on. I even tried launching ACW via Steam. What am I missing?

**bobgouldshaw** · August 15, 2016, 11:28 PM

I managed to resolve my issue from my last post in a pretty bizarre fashion. In Steam, I right-clicked on the Empire shortcut, selected "properties," went to the "local files" tab and browsed for local files. It took me to the game directory, which included Empire.exe and all the vanilla files you would expect, but no ACW files. When I navigated in explorer to the *exact same folder* instead of accessing it via steam, *all the files were missing except the data folder and ACW files.*

So I copied the ACW files to the bizarro alternate universe Steam-accessed folder, even though they are supposed to be exactly the same folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empire Total War). Using the shortcut to the ACW launcher from the desktop, it still didn't work. I finally tried to run ACW3.exe from the Steam-accessed folder, and it worked. Been playing for a few hours and I've almost got the secesh all the way whupped, and it's not even 1862. 0% McClellan, 100% Sherman

I was also able to successfully launch the game again after quitting

hope this helps anyone who has a similar issue. I still have no idea what's going on, but it works...

I tried the suggested game booster to stop crashes during battles, but when i start the game using razer game booster it just exits the loading screen.

After installing ETW from scratch and installing this mod, when I launch I get:

**Trig** · October 21, 2017, 04:13 PM

After the first install I got the same. Something as weird as a computer restart fixed it. But since I know nothing about computers, I've no idea why and how.

**Tyelkormo** · February 20, 2019, 06:48 PM

Did a fresh install of Empire. Ran the game to the main menu. Closed the game. Installed ACW. Ran ACW, clicked the Zone of Recruitment submod. Clicked "US". Got application load error 5:0000065434 Would appreciate help getting the game to run.

I think ACW uses an old launcher from the time before steam changed its procedure to start games. As you can see in your log, the launcher is doing fine. It's just not able to start ETW anymore. So try to start ETW via steam. This will hopefully fix your problem.
