HELP

[jedi121212]

Ok here is the situation. I have the Gold Edition so everything is patched. But when I try to install a mod it says it isnt. I really dont know what is wrong here I was wondering if anyone here new what is wrong. Also could Smartclose somehow be source of the problem

[irishron]

Fromwhat I just read, Smartclose could very well be the problem. Disable it, uninstall the game, reinstall the game, then try installing yoyr mod. If the mod installs, you know Smartclose is the problem.

[jedi121212]

Thanks I will try that. ok I tried that it did not work. I uninstalled Smartclose then the game then reinstalled the game but I still get the same thing it always says

(actual) installer md5: []
(actual) RomeTW.exe md5: [632f884ca993a430038a03d76bfa2f50]
(correct) RomeTW.exe md5: [DE01375B675CBD95B7EFCB745E72EAD6]
(correct) RomeTW.exe md5: [889E7D1CC92C34B6EB8252A7658464BA]

Note: If the actual and correct values for md5 do not match,
you might have the wrong version of RTW installed. This mod will
only work with RTW 1.5 or RTW:BI 1.6

This is what I get when I try to install RTR PE mod switch

[irishron]

Those are all registry entries. Uninstall the game starting with BI. clean the registry of anything RTW including any mods you might have even partially installed. Reinstall the RTW to 1.2. Install BI. Now install BI patch. See if you start a campaign. If so, you know it's not you. Install the mod. Any error messages refer to the appropiate mod forum because it is no longer a technical issue.

[jedi121212]

It is the gold edition. they are already patched.

[irishron]

In the opening screen, what's the version number?

[jedi121212]

when I start the game it says 1.6 but when I try to mod it it does not say it is.

[irishron]

If this is true, then it is a mod problem. Please contact RTR about this problem with their installer. They may ont be aware of it.

[Brusilov]

With the game there should be two shortcuts. One will be using R:TW and will run RomeTW.exe and the other will be using R:TW BI and will run RomeTW-BI.exe.

If you launch a game with R:TW the version number on the top right hand side of the options menu should be 1.5 if you've got it patched OK.

If you launch a game with R:TW BI the version number on the top right hand side of the options menu should be 1.6 if you've got it patched OK.

[jedi121212]

As I said it says that in game but RomeTW.exe and RomeTW-BI.exe says 1.00 but in the game it says it is patched.

[jedi121212]

Ive managed to install it before I dont know why it is not working now.

[irishron]

Two onther things I know to foul it up, using a crack or using emulation software. Otherwise it's bad install. Vista or XP?

[jedi121212]

XP

[irishron]

Okay, we're going in circles. Then uninstall Smartclose, uninstall Gold, delete the RTW folder, clean your registry to get rid of Gold and Smartclose entries and a host of other problems. Now reinstall Gold and tell me the version number. This is the only way to solve this problem.

[jedi121212]

well I did all that and I tried RTR PE mod switch but it did the same thing, but I tried SPQR and it works fine. Also tried Rise of Persia it did not work.

[irishron]

Are you trying to load all these on the same RTW copy? Could be your biggest problem. My way after I get the game patched with the last patch and make a copy of the whole RTW folder for each mod and keep one RTW folder as vanilla just in case something goes wrong. I don't trust mod switches.
RTR PE mod switch should be reported to their forum. SPQR working proves the game works. Same with Rise of Persia. SPQR working also proves Smartclose was also causing problems.

[jedi121212]

Rise of Persia did not work as I said. Also eod2 and Roma Surrectum work. No I am have more than one copied.

[irishron]

Report this to Rise of Persia, also. They may not be aware there is a problem.

[jedi121212]

I downloaded the RTR PE (not Mod Switch) and it works. Know I need to do is report the Rise of persia problem.

[jedi121212]

Ok now I am back to sqaure one. RTR PE, Troy Total War, ROP, eod, eod2 will not work. the only ones that work are SPQR and Roma Surrectum.
