Using RM with version 1.2

**smj661** · February 27, 2008, 02:52 AM

I was wondering if I can install and run rome medieval mod on my rome total war if i have patch version 1.2 on my rome total war.
I cant install any newer patches because my game crashes.

Thanks,

Nope, you need 1.5 to play RMTW...

But I'm fairly sure your crashes aren't caused by your came or the patches themselves. Make sure you install them correctly.

i didnt know that there was a particular way to install the patches. i just installed them in order. and if i install a patch from 1.3 on, my computer crashes every time i try load the campaign or a battle. so i got stuck on 1.2.
i dont have the best computer around, at all. i thought maybe that was the case.
any help though would be much appreciated.
i have a
microsoft xp sony vaio home edition
pentium 4 cpu 2.40GHz
2.39 GHz, 480 MB or RAM

i think i have a sis video card...

yeah its a bit primitive...not alienware stuff. but hey, its somethin.

thanks guys.

I think you can patch 1.2 directly to 1.5. I'm not entierly sure, but it's worth a try, isn't it. Make sure you install the patch in the right directory.

And if 1.2 works on your PC, then all versions of RTWvanilla do.
Some mods may have higher system requirements however.

RM2 is for RTW 1.5,your computer is not bad,its not about PC Requirments.maybe your RTW has a problem or missing files.
you need to install patch 1.3 before 1.5 but you dont need 1.2 ,you can start with 1.3

RM1 was for RTW (1.1 patch) ,but its not same as the new verison (RM2),see it here :

thanks,

hmm alright. im going to try and install 1.3 and then 1.5 again. RM2 looks awesome..its worth to try again.
lets see what happens...

well i installed 1.3 and 1.5 and the game crashed after i went into a battle or campaign. i even put the lowest settings on graphics; still crashed. but i said hey, what the hell. so i downloaded the giant RM mod and installed it anyway...to see if it'll work. well, its giving me a bunch of generic errors "could not read data/descr_battle_map_lighting blah blah blah".
so then i kept on copying and pasting from my original RTW the missing data files. but then i thought, maybe theres a RM1 thats missing...because i think i downloaded and installed 2.
cant seem to find RM1 if one exisits.
so...is there a part 1 to RM?
or is there just something wrong with the installer/files i downloaded?
eh?
