    Default Rome: Total War won't start on Windows 10

    Upgraded to Windows 10 a couple of days ago and Rome: Total War just won't launch. Any ideas?

    Try turning off AA in the preferences file.

    Can someone attach a copy of their preferences file? I just installed the game and the preferences file is not created when the game is installed. I understand you need to start the game and change an option for the file to be generated but the problem is I can't start the game in the first place since I got windows 10.

    still playing without antialising is quite distressing. The game will look so bad. Whta is causing this? win10 not supporting DX9?
