    Default Help Please? It wont work

    Hi,

    I love Rome Total War and its amazing battles, but I cringe everytime I see Julii, Brutii, Scipii and SPQR because they were never split. Anyway I downloaded RTR Platinum Addition 1.9 as I see this works with patchs 1.5 and 1.6. So I've downloaded it and addeda few add ons. I click on the RTR shortcut eager in anticipation and... it comes up with Browsing. To locate the file click browse. I haven't a clue what to do now and I went on the normal RTW and its the same. I'm sure this has been answered before but I can't find any technical thread on the subject,

    thanks in advance for any help,

    Rupert.

    Patience, someone will answer eventually.

    By the way, could you provide more information, like whether you have RTW: Gold edition, whether you installed RTR on a Barbarian Invasion installation or on a RTW 1.5, whether you run on Vista, what add-ons you installed in addition to RTR etc?

    The RTRPE installer points by default to an "Activision" folder, but if you have RTW Gold Edition, your game will most likely be installed in a "The Creative Asembly" folder. You`ve probably installed the mod in the wrong location.

    Sounds like just a wrong shortcut...

    Just go to your RTR-PE folder and try if the shortcut there does work..
    You're shortcut should look like this
    "C:\Program Files\Activision\RomeTW-BI.exe" -show_err -nm -mod:


    Do you have the -mod switch version?
    otherwise you should try this:

    If you don't have a shortcut, you can create one yourself:

    1) Go to your RTW folder
    2) right-click on the "RTW-BI.exe"
    3) copy to..
    4) Desktop

    5) right-click your new shortcut
    6) Properties
    7) in the first (ie. not second) text bar you will see something like
    "C:\Program Files\Activision\RomeTW-BI.exe"

    8) add the following at the end of that line:
    -show_err -nm -mod:

    9) in total it should look like this:
    "C:\Program Files\Activision\RomeTW-BI.exe" -show_err -nm -mod:

    Note: don't copy "C:\.." part, as yours ay be different from mine


    I hope this works

    Right, I'll tell you everything. I've got Rome Total War 1.5 and Barbarian Expansion 1.6. I downloaded Rome Total Realism Platinum Edition 1.9 because it worked with 1.5 and 1.6. So I installed it and now I have one my desktop, RTR Platinum, RTR Platinum BI and Mutiplayer reset. I click on RTR Platinumand Windows Picture and Fax Viewer pops up with the little RTR logo. I click on the RTR BI shortcut and a box with little white writing quickly pops up and dissappears really quickly. The same happens with the multiplayer one. My adds on were no light, the macedon one, and a few others. My files are in an activision folder, but the same happens.

    Thanks for the responses but I don't think I should try them yet because it doesn't seem like my problem as I have the shortcut.

    Again, most likely, your problem is that you`ve installed it in the wrong place and that`s why the desktop shortcut doesn`t connect with the executable. Read this guide:

    Hi, I've read that guide and it seems thats most likely my problem. Tommorow I will uninstall everything RTW-wise and insstall it all again to the instructions.

    If the only problem was installing RTRPE in the wrong place you can simple move that folder in the correct location. For example:
    from
    Activision/Rome - Total War
    to
    The Creative Assembly/Rome - Total War
    You basically copy the rtw folder from the activision and paste it in the other one overwriting the files.

    I tried that ad it still didn't work so something elese might be wrong with it. In start/programs I don't have RTR so I haven't a clue whats wrong.
