    Icon4 [How to] fix Rome 2 stuck at splash screen/ Launcher wont load error

    I found a fix for solving the freeze/non loading at the splash screen and for launcher not working errors.

    Try the solutions in order

    Freeze/non loading at the splash screen
    Solution a1

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    -Go to "C:\Users\Administrador\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Rome2"

    -Then delete the Rome2 folder.

    -Once removed go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Total War Rome II\redist"

    -Then open the files listed below in that order and click on repair for each one, the last one doesn't have a repair window pop up, instead you will see a small loading bar,

    1-vcredist_x86-90.exe
    2-vcredist_x86-100-sp1.exe
    3-vcredist_x86-80-sp1.exe

    Then just proceed to load your game and it should then go onto the main menu.


    Solution a2

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    -Go to your Rome 2 folder
    C:\Users\Administrador\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Rome2

    -Then into the scripts folder

    -Inside that folder, there is a file called preferences.script.txt
    Open it.

    -Once in the file click Ctrl-F, and in the text box paste in the line below:

    gfx_enable_directx11 true; # gfx_enable_directx11 <bool>, Enable DirectX 11 rendering #

    Change the text of "true" to "false"

    gfx_enable_directx11 false; # gfx_enable_directx11 <bool>, Enable DirectX 11 rendering #

    Save the file and close it, then proceed to start the game


    Alternative Solution with a2
    (Provided by ofi123)

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    -Go to %appdata%/Roaming/The Creative Assembly/Rome2/Scripts/
    (Start > run > appdata. Make sure you have set "show hidden files and folders" under folder options)


    -Then into the scripts folder


    -Inside that folder, there is a file called preferences.script.txt
    Open it.


    -Search the following (CTRL + F): gfx_device_type

    -You should find the following line:
    gfx_device_type 1; # gfx_device_type <int>, Set device type, 0-D3D9, 1-D3D11, 2-GL3 #


    -Change the "1" to "0", so it looks like this:
    gfx_device_type 0; # gfx_device_type <int>, Set device type, 0-D3D9, 1-D3D11, 2-GL3 #

    Save the file and close it, then proceed to start the game




    launcher not working errors.

    Solution b1
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Try solution a1
    -Right click on RT2W in steam

    -then properties

    -then uncheck the Enable Steam overlay


    if not,

    Solution b2
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    -steam library go to add non steam game

    -then follow the path, "Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Total War Rome II" and click on the rome2 application

    -then proceed to add the program and try starting it,

    this should re-create a new separate launcher

    if not,

    Solution b3
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    -Go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Total War Rome II" then make an shortcut of "Rome2.exe" and place it on your desktop.

    -Then rightclick your shortcut and select properties then you should see this, "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Total War Rome II\Rome2.exe"

    -Proceed to replace it with this, "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Total War Rome II\Rome2.exe" -dev" and run the .exe,

    it will start the game without the launcher so you will have to do without mods until there is some real fix.



    Solution b4
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    -Find the Rome2.exe in Steamapps/common/Total War Rome 2/

    -rightclick it, choose compatibility and check "Run as Administrator".

    -If it is already checked, uncheck it. Then start the game by doubleclicking the Rome2.exe in that folder.


    -----------------


    If this doesn't work

    -rightclick on Rome2.exe, choose compatibility

    - and check disable visual design and desktop composition.

    -Then start the game by doubleclicking the Rome2.exe.

    I wanted to see if anyone else with this problem has managed to found a way to fix it,

    Pick out what gives you the idea I'm hating CA,

    There are far worst threads that are made just for hating CA for you to comment on.

    I've been having this problem--but why is deleting the rome 2 folder neccesary? That includes our saved games and user preferences!

    Then copy and paste them onto the desktop, go through the procedure and paste them back in, the .exe is repairing the game so the Rome 2 folder is re-installed,

    Try Start>"Your Name"> Appdata folder may be a hidden one. Should contain Roaming folder.

    its because its a hidden folder so you have to un-hide it.

    Go to computer-(in the tabs click) tool- folder option- view- then look for "show hidden files,folders or drives" and tick it. Then click apply

    After doing that go through the steps again the OP.

    Want to post that this fix worked, I wish I had decided to check TWC for fixes instead of just reinstalling...
    Was really weird, my game worked fine, then one day I ran it up, and my whole desktop just shut off mid-load. Then Rome 2 wouldn't work after that. Very unusual, but rare bug I'm sure.

    good news, sorry you had to uninstall the game, hopefully you kept the save games.

    I followed these steps, and the game is still stuck at splash screen. Performed a reinstall, followed the steps again, but no luck. Anyone have any other suggestions, hopefully?
