Recontructed Rev11.........************This a NEW one********

Some things to bear in mind.
1. This MUST be installed into a clean RTW folder patched to CA patch v1.5. (I have not tested BI or Alex) As always, NOT in the 'data' folder.

2. Any problems, CTD's, post them in here.

3. Post all error messages...read and write them down if you have to.

4. If you get a CTD with a unit or group of units, post the unit name(s). It is your responsibility as team members to investigate and find out which unit is causing the problem. There shouldn't be too many...I tested every unit I could.

5. Post any 'oddities' with units.....odd shadows or random objects, or stuff that shouldn't be there.

6. Most units have no sprites, so some units may disappear when you zoom out on them.

7. ALL units have the wrong sprites that do have them.

8. At the very least, you should have unit detail set to 'high'.

9. Campaign descriptions are incomplete and faction maps are wrong....but the new faction icons are in the game.

10. All banners, flags and symbols above cities are old and\or wrong. All the loading screens are old.

11. There is no recruitment in place, and although you should be able to get into the Campaign, it is not playable.


I've changed many of the names on this map...but not all. Some of the 'Terrae' this and that names are still 'Tribus'...but it's pretty easy to tell what's what. Region shapes and sizes may not be exact...this is all hand drawn.

13. Although some starting regions are in place, that isn't done yet either.

The revisions get installed in numerical order.
EVERYTHING gets installed into the RTW folder in a clean RTWv1.5 or BIv1.6..NOT the 'data' folder.

All units now have sprites and most are correct.
Currently the new environment changes aren't in the installation.
Don't set unit detail higher than high - "highest" leads to inactivation of the sprites and a big reduction in performance.

AHHHHH. filefront much better, cos i can download all of them at once. the Beta and revisions 1 and 2 i guess are the same as the ones that i already have from DVK ?

[tone]

Yes, no change there

[Legionary Titus Pullo]

good that means i dont have to use Megaupload again

[King Nud]

Straight after the opening screen of the game (the one with the mountains) the game auto-closes and no errors appear!

HELP!!!

HELP!!!

First, do you have -show_err in your shortcut?
Second....if the game auto-closes, you installed it wrong.

[Legionary Titus Pullo]

i had a problem loading ( mount database) but then i realised id clicked the bi icon instead of the rome icon, force of habit. and now its fine

[King Nud]

i will try installing again but i am sure its in the right place. yes i do have show_err at the end of target line

[tone]

I'm sure it's not in the right place if it closes on opening

[King Nud]

this is where it is installed

"C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe"

do i need to do anything else after installing all of the revisions??

[tone]

You said you used a fresh install of RTW 1.5?

What exe are you using? RTW or BI?

[King Nud]

i'm now going right back to install RTW Gold into my laptop.

Then install the Beta
Revision 1
Revision 2
Revision 3
Revison 4
Revision 5

is this all correct??

[apple]

Yes

[Legionary Titus Pullo]

so still no campaign then ?

[apple]

You can start an campaign, but the there is nearly nothing to recruit

[Legionary Titus Pullo]

oh well, back to custom battles then

[apple]

You could still test the music and look for errors in the campaign

[King Nud]

oh well, game crashes when i try to start any custom battle. o yay

no errors
no pop-ups
no nothing

[tone]

Unless there's some way out error in update 5, it's clearly not been installed properly. Or else a bad download.
