RTR platinum download link bugged?

[GiorgioIII]

Guys i tried many times downloading the platinum version of VI - not the mod switch- but as it gets to around 20% the download is disrupted. Is there any other download mirror availlable?

Plus if someone has the desktop shortcuts the VI- not the mod switch- is using pleeease contact me!

Thanks and keep up the good work!!

There`s no other mirror for that version unfortunately. I`m guessing you`re referring to RTRPE v1.9, non mod switch. There`s no such thing as VI.

yeah, my bad- i meant the platinum edition.

However does anyone know the command line on the shortcut for RTRPE non mod switch?

Thanks guys (in advance)

It`s the one from vanilla rtw. The non mod switch version does not need anything special. The only thing that it adds is the -show_err command, but that`s only so that you get a message in case the game crashes(in certain cases) and has no other effect.

Yes i know but after installation the game shows two shortcuts in the desktop. One i think is called RTR-Platinum BI and launches a combined version of BI and RTW or something (sorry but i do not know how it works exactly).

Launching the game from the vanilla shortcuts, the game trys to open vanilla and then offcourse crashes.

There should be a RTRPE shortcut as well as a BI one on your desktop. Anyway, you can create a shortcut yourself by right clicking on the RTW exe inside the Rome Total War folder in which you installed RTR Platinum in. Select send to desktop and rename it RTRPE or whatever you want. You should now be able start RTRPE.

Great! Thanks

Actually iirc if you want to play the mod with the exe of BI you should add the red part at the end of the target(of the shortcut that points to the BI exe):
"C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-BI.exe" -show_err -mod:

There is no reason I can think of for installing the non-mod-switch version, short of needing it for a sub-mod that doesn't work with the mod-switch version. In every other way, the mod-switch version would be a better choice.
