Installation Instructions, Technical Issues and Support

[MasterOfNone]

That's great - glad you like it. I cannot remember your problem, and cannot see any report in this thread from you (which is where installation issues should be reported). Please do post if your solution is something others may find useful.

Enjoy DoB!

it was the thread entitled DoB campaign ctd, after every concievable attempt to resolve the problem it turned out the problem lay with the vista virtual store, which meant nomatter how many times i uninstalled or deleted the game to reinstall it, there was always a tiny amount of information left meaning the problem remained. so instead i googled how to find the virtual store after help from histgamer and deleting the rome total war folder seemed to solve the problem. hope that helps

btw any ideas or intents to create further stuff for this mod?

[MasterOfNone]

ah, ok. Vista is evil

The Viking Age has come to a close I'm afraid - we think we fulfilled the objective to bring MTW:VI to the newer engine

Thank you for the most awesome mod in history! I've never had so much fun, playing as Norway is a bit tricky on hard, but the campaign has just been one loooooong raid. So much fun!
I got one question though, the loading screen is a bit messed up. Half the screen goes black when the loading bar appears. I'm running vista and geoforce 9800gx2.

Thx for the kind words.

Never had this issue with loading screens myself, it doesn't happen on vanilla BI or with other mods that play on the same settings?

[Haakon]

I forgot to mention that this is the STEAM version. Dont know if thats relevant. In Vanilla the loading screen was just filled with holes, not 50% black as it is with VI2. Its not that much of an issue as the rest of the game runs fine. Its just that I really enjoy reading the quotes when a battle loads as it often inspire me to do better when facing impossible odds

Perhaps I shall just try to adjust my desktop resolution. Currently running 1600x1650.

[MasterOfNone]

Wow, that's huge. Try the default 1024 X 768.

And thanks indeed for the praise Glad to know VI2 is liked!

[Astor]

Congratulations on a mod well done that was tonnes of fun. I just wanted to report an issue where
the mercenary rabble's cloaks turn purple when I zoom op from the battlefield.

I've been having an issue with the mod. My game's patched up to 1.6, but I kept getting the "please select an item from the list" message every time I clicked "Imperial Campaign". I eventually realized that the VI2/data/world folder was missing. This was the RAR version and the exe wouldn't work.

[Aradan]

Can you please elaborate on "the exe wouldn't work"?

Also:

1. There should definitely be a 'world' folder in the VI2.rar file, I am going to re-downlaoded and check, but I'm pretty positive.
2. VI2 works on BI, which means there is no "Imperial Campaign" option, the campaign option in VI2 is named "Main Campaign" on the menu.


Are you sure the file was properly downloaded and the mod properly installed?

[Imperial Eagle]

By exe I mean the exe download version. It stopped DLing right after it started, and so it doesn't download the whole file. And I did use BI, just used to playing mods that say imperial campaign. But I looked in the data folder, and "World" wasn't there, so that neither the campaign nor custom battles work.

[Aradan]

I downloaded both versions today and I can confirm they both download, install and work as they should, so I guess there was somehting faulty with your download. Please try again. The .exe version should be 159 MB and the .rar one 200 MB.
