Please ensure you have read the installation instructions carefully in the open-beta release announcement post before posting here. Thank you.

In order to preserve the time of the dev team, we would ask experienced players to feel free to contribute help in this thread

OK. I will need a bit of support here... I m installing the mod on steam.
I did the right installation, but I can't run the mod. Following the instructions with the set launch options, when I run barbarian invasion, there is the barbarian invasion loading screen and then it gets me to the rome total war menu... Any help??

**MasterOfNone** · March 19, 2015, 10:19 AM

Tell us exactly what you did. If the mod doesn't run then it is likely you did not follow the instructions correctly. Provide screenshots of the rome folder if you can.

okay, im on about my 10th hour of trying to get the mod to install. trying on 2 different computers. now I know I installed it into the correct destination. fatw ends up in bi folder. using steam, followed the steam install instructions to the letter, multiple times. I keep getting the "horde_min_units" thing. on both pcs. I really do not understand what I am doing wrong. I am no rookie when it comes to installing mods. Ive been doing it for years. I know how to follow instructions. Please help. I really, really want to play this mod. SOOOO bad!

Looks ok to me (though hard to tell without seeing the contents of the fatw/data folder). Silly question I know but are you trying to Launch Rome Total War or Barbarian Invasion?

**MasterOfNone** · October 14, 2015, 03:11 AM

Yes, that error usually comes up when your try to run RTW rather than BI to execute the mod. RTW does not support hordes. Have you viewed the Steam setup images I provided in the installation instruction post?

okay, very weird, after making this post last night, my laptop decided to have an update, afterwards i decided to try the Mod "one last time" you know. lol. and low and behold, it works, perfectly. I have no idea why it decides it wants to work all of a sudden, but I sure am happy. Great Mod. played a good 6 hrs last night. good stuff. now I just gotta figure a way to make my Directx revert back to 9. my pcs fighting me on that aspect though. and hey, thx for the quick response. thought id be waiting weeks lol.

Glad it's working! What faction did you pick?

**spartan456** · December 20, 2015, 11:11 PM

hello, I am not sure about what's going on but i follow installation instructions for steam. everything seems to go good and then i do this part "" go to properties, in the general tab click 'Set Launch Options' and type " -mod:bi/fatw -show_err -nm""", i go to run and it like starts to process but never fully launches the mod or total war at all. In installation it talks about having total war rome gold but i have emperor editition so im wondering if i can still play this or maybe is the app beta ended? I am very unsure and some help would be greatly appricated

**webba84** · December 20, 2015, 11:32 PM

As I understand it Emperor Edition refers to Total War: Rome II. This mod is for the original Rome Total War: Barbarian Invasion.

**CountMRVHS** · December 21, 2015, 08:27 AM

Which is totally worth getting, if you don't have it

**spartan456** · December 21, 2015, 10:05 AM

damn that makes more sense,

, well thank you and I would consider that but probaly will when i have some extra money haha

**pedrasa** · October 01, 2016, 06:00 AM

I need help i installed the mod using the instructions given but when,after setting the launch options like this -mod:bi/fatw -nm -ne -show_err , and i run barbarian invasion it crashes and gives me an error with a script saying egyptian_granary recgonised.
Need help.

**pedrasa** · October 01, 2016, 06:02 AM

I need help after all instructions followed it crashes giving me the egyptian_granary not recgonised.

**CountMRVHS** · October 01, 2016, 08:53 AM

Odd; I've never seen that message show up. Are you able to launch vanilla RTW and/or BI?

**webba84** · October 04, 2016, 12:51 AM

I do recall seeing that message before somewhere, but not the exact circumstances. Can you please describe the installation process you followed, in detail and including what version of RTW you are using (Steam or Disk), and what the installation folder is?

Thanks!

**klaus.stein** · July 01, 2017, 08:44 AM

Hi, I got a script error: overlay_slot_filler_48x32_112x64_roman.cas does not exist. Do you have any idea how to fix it?
regards
Klaus

**CountMRVHS** · July 01, 2017, 03:57 PM

I don't believe I've seen that error before. Could you provide more information about your setup, which version of the mod you're using, and when you see the error?
