I am trying to get the mod working with Vista and I'm having nothing but trouble.
Install RTW
Patch 1.3
Patch 1.5
Load game to make sure everything is working fine.
Install BIG file under 'Admin' rights. (Compatibility Mode XP/SP2)
Install patch 8 under 'Admin' rights. (Compatibility Mode XP/SP2)
At this point it appears that everything is working fine, no errors or anything with the install.
I load New_UI.bat under Compatibility Mode also, Press any key, A for All files, Any key, A for all files. Window closes after extraction, once again no errors or failures.
I try to load the game and after the main splash screen the game crashes.
I found these instructions in another post, however I do not have the 'Data' folder specified, I only have the 'Data_RS' folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated if anyone else has managed to get this mod working with Vista.
1. Go to (rtw)\data\paks\UI_1_pak
2. In that folder you should see 'data' and 'data_rs' folders. If you do, you're in luck. (and a little text file in there too)
3. Go into (rtw)\data\paks\UI_1_pak\DATA.........there should be a 'UI' folder.
4. Take that folder and move or copy it to (rtw)\data\ (It should be in between 'tgas' and 'vegetation').
5. Copy the contents of '(rtw)\data\paks\UI_1_pak\Data_RS\UI' INTO
'(rtw)\data\UI' folder. (Some stuff should be over written)
6. Now go into the (RTW)\data\packs folder and rename UI_1.pak to UI_1.old.
7. Start Game.
