Error...

**Jingles** · June 24, 2008, 12:55 PM

Just re-installed BRG, but every time I try to start the game, I get this message:

Any ideas why?

edit: I've just checked the line subject to the error message, and there is nothing wrong with it. It says 'required' just as it should do. So why is the game playing silly buggers with me?

:hmmm:very strange..try reinstalling it? It work before correct?

**Jingles** · June 25, 2008, 05:36 AM

yep, reinstalled it, and it does the same thing...

edit: I think maybe my vanilla version isn't clean...but that would suggest that my other mods would stop working. Which they haven't.... I'll re-install it anyway.

edit 2: I reinstalled it and the same thing happens

Try to see if the installation path is correct ok? make sure the mod is installing to the location of the Rio Mod...Very weird but I very seen it change. let me know ok..Have u installed other mods before trying to reinstall? Make sure to dl the patch too...

Right. I've completely removed RTW and all mods from my PC. Then I've reinstalled RTW, then BI. Then I installed Rio's IBFD, then BRG and then the BRG patch. And I STILL get the same error message when I get to the game splash screen.

I'm really at a loss with this Jingle_Bombs. The only thing I can think of is first try from the patch download the patch to the desktop..manually click on the export_descr_buildings file and drop it over the rio/data folder to see if it copies right??...or the other option is to dl the rar version but as u know it takes up space unlike the mod switcher does

**Jingles** · June 25, 2008, 02:14 PM

Right. I've finally managed to get it working. I think the problem was that there's something wrong with the patches on my RTW. It says on the box it comes ready patched to 1.5, but it was only after I installed the 1.5 patch via the internet that it started working... Either it was that or something else I missed. That's besides the point anyway, because it works now

. Started a Saxon campaign in readiness for the Saxon AAR I promised.

Very cool!...hmmm that crafty patch...remember a nice goal for your Saxon Warlord is to achieve Bretwalda status and the Saxons will have troubles maintaining order in conquered British lands gl looking forward to it

This is a bit unrelated, but is there a particular reason why the battles in this mod seem to lag out alot more than pretty much every mod I've tried? It's not a real problem, but it means I can't do the biggest siege battles without a large performance hit...

The largeness of the map may have a bit to do with that and the game does have quite a bit stuff in the middle of the bread slices

**Jingles** · June 29, 2008, 07:13 AM

mmm, from my knowledge of the previous builds of RS, I think sometimes sprites cause a performance drop. I noticed some of the units have mismatched ones. It might have something to do with it, but I'm sceptical as to whether that's true.

**vonVince** · July 05, 2008, 01:06 PM

I have the same problem and it is irritating me greatly. Perhaps Jingle could tell me exactly how he solved it? Please, help me get things working.

The problem, like I said, is the same that Jingle had. I get the same (exactly the same) error notice that Jingle also got. I did read Jingle's post in which he says that he managed to sort it out, but the post does not offer me much help.

**vonVince** · July 06, 2008, 05:48 AM

...please people, help me get things working. The problem is exactly the same as Jingle had but I do not know how to sort it out - and I want to play this.

**Forsworn** · July 07, 2008, 09:58 PM

You don't really need to install them anywhere. Just double click them and they should properly install into the right areas, well that's assuming that everything else was installed correctly already. If that's the case than you shouldn't have any problems.

As for the difference...

Not many from what I've experienced. I ran with a starter alliance between both halves of the Empire. It resulted in the Orogoths allying ERE and attacking me, the ERE breaking our alliance, and than on my turn we were allies again and the Orogoths were on Ceasefire.

After afew turns I saved and reloaded my save and it messed up the script. As in the ERE became neutral with me(thankfully we still had trade rights) and the Ostrogoths and I could actually kill each other in peace.

I'm assuming that no alliance one just has the factions on neutral. I don't think you start out with trade rights, though you might.

To avoid the hassle I suggest no alliance but if you want the roman factions to be on good terms than go with alliance.

Rio, not to be a pest but I have the same problem as Jingle_Bombs and vonVice. The thing is I already have the 1.5 patch for RTW Gold. So when I tried to download it again via the Internet, it says it can't dowload since it is not compatible with RTW Gold. Your mod looks sweet

, and I really can't wait to play, so do you mind if you help me out.

Thanks alot

Hi FanaticTW, No worries. I'd be glad to help you. Does the RTW Gold include the 1-6 patch?...It seems their are issues with the Gold patch that interferes with the mod switcher. This is a reoccurring prob that has been very consistent and one Ive banged my head against the wall trying to figure out. I have been recommending those with your issue to download the rar version
Its an alternative download that unfortunately will require a separate folder..
Anny questions feel free...Id advise trying to read up but anything you dont understand feel free to ask

Rar version or non mod switcher gl

Thanks Rio, downloaded the rar version, and love the mod.

Please let me know FanaticTW after really cutting into a campaign if your finding it too easy..like on h/h....I may need adjusting the final patch somewhat. I tried to set it up that it would become harder with much expansion.
Thanks
