Hello

Please forgive me for asking this and making a new post about installing, As mods completely and utterly dumbfound me, I wish to ask a question if i may.

I would like to Play RTR:Extended Realism as i have had so much fun on RTRP, But im am wondering is there a way of installing RTRER over RTRP or do i have to make a a clean install of RTW and BI patch to 1.6 ?

I read somewhere that one can use a Mod switch so i can play either RTRP or RTRER if this is indeed so can some please link me as im unsure to this would be.

Thank you for your time and any advice in advance.

If your version of RTR PE is mod switch one, then you can install ExRM, wich is also a mod switch, and enjoy both of them.

Thank you for your reply.

Well it seems my version is RTR_platinum_v1.9_full_install. i would assume that this is not the mod switch ?

Can i install the V.1.9 mod switch over the RTR_platinum_v1.9_full_install.

I have recently gone through two Fresh windows installs and have had to reinstall all game/software twice as well. Hence why im trying to find a way around having to reinstall RTW again.

All this thank to the vista64 display driver compatability problem it has with Nforce 650sli chipsets

ExRM doesn't work over RTRPE non-mod switch. You'll need to reinstall RTW (and BI, if you have it) to try it.

Once you've installed RTW/BI/patches, I would recommend that you make a copy of that folder so if you mess up the mod installation sequence or want to install another non-mod-switch mod, you can just quickly make another copy of the backup folder without having to judge multiple cds.

Hi, welcome to the forum...

There are no dumb questions...

Go to the place where you installed RTR-PE:
- Find the Data folder inside your RTW map (DONNOT OPEN IT!!)
- next to the data folder there should be a map called "RTRPE"
- if this map is there, then you can simply install ExRM as well
- If that map is not there, it means you didn install the RTR-PE "-mod switch" version. This means that you would have to install RTW again...

(does your vanilla RTW still work? ie the unmodded one?)
