@ bangsunei

@ SpiderPig

Try this: in File menu, Go in scripts folder and delete all txt files you'll find there. Try again.

[SpiderPig]

Still not working

[husserlTW]

Sorry cannot help further.

[SpiderPig]

I'll redownload the mod and check if it helps

[SpiderPig]

Redownload helped ! Thanks for help husserlTW

PS. This mod is fantastic

[v1ct0rg]

Whenever I start the campaign (RTI3 or Warpath, and CS or US) it will go to the loading screen, and it will then have a error come up saying "Empire Total War Has Stopped Working"

Heres the Log:

Is this all your log report? If yes then start ACW, in File menu Go in scripts folders and delete all txt. Try again and if the problem is still there then, close ACW, select Restore Vanilla, uninstall mod and install again.

[PrussianGuard]

and he should run the launcher as admin, shouldnt he ?

[v1ct0rg]

Tried it again, and it failed to launch again, also on Admin too
Any more ideas on how to fix it or what to do?

Have you noticed my previous answer to you? You have posted half report..

Is this all your log report? If yes then start ACW, in File menu Go in scripts folders and delete all txt. Try again and if the problem is still there then, close ACW, select Restore Vanilla, uninstall mod and install again.

[McGucci]

Whenever I click on a faction, something pops up that says:

"There are files in Empire's data folder that belong neither vanilla, nor ACW mod."

And once I click OK to launch it, my game freezes in the launching loading screen, saying it has stopped responding.

Whenever I click on a faction, something pops up that says:

"There are files in Empire's data folder that belong neither vanilla, nor ACW mod."

And once I click OK to launch it, my game freezes in the launching loading screen, saying it has stopped responding.

--------------------------
Current non vanilla files in data folder:
unit_pack_compatibility_project_v5_9.pack
unit_pack_compatibility_project_v6_3.pack
--------------------------

those files are causing you problems... you need to start your launcher and then browse your options (File, settings, submods, audio) and search for the one that has check files. you click on that and then those to files will appear in the least. tick both of them and choose remove files. then it will ask you do you want them removed from user_script.txt also. you can proceed there and if they appear there (although) unlikely remove them from there also. then close check files utility. and start campaign. it should run smooth now.

[Carpedeim]

I posted before but for some reason my post doesnt show up. Whenever i run the launcher its fine it moves some files but when i click on CS or US it says empire total war is starting it takes me to a black screen then crashes and i get Empire total war has crashed due to an unknown error... Heres my log hopefully you can help. I have reinstalled the game and deleted it completely from my computer twice along with installing the mod and so far nothing

[Imperator123]

Same problem here. When I start the campaign, CS or US, it crashes at the loading screen and says "Empire Total War has stopped working".
I have a new installation of Empire, redownloaded the Mod installer 2 times and the scripts folder ist empty. I can't start it neither from the launcher nor from Steam.

ok guys, you have to log-in to the Steam before starting the ACW launcher... the best was to do it is to log-in immediately after starting up your computer. If you experience this crash, then you close the launcher, restart your pc and then after the re-boot log-in to the Steam (once again, before starting the ACW launcher itself)... I believe that is the issue in both of your cases...

The game crash when i try to enter the game through the launcher.
Yes, I log in steam before starting the launcher:

Please makea "checklist" we can follow, as a sticky in the technical help. makes life easier.

not sure what you mean... it doesn't take that long to search for the solution of the problem, as they are all in their respective categories. a little reading hasn't killed anyone

your problem:
have you noticed this

-------------------------- 
Current non vanilla files in data folder:
unit_pack_compatibility_project_v5_9.pack
 --------------------------

that is causing your problems. Please go to ACW Launcher -> and find a Check Files utility. run it, thick every file listed there and choose remove files. you don't have to do the next step (when being asked if you wish to remove the command from user_script.txt)

also, please use the code function when posting a log... it makes our lives easier
