    Default Steam Rome total war gold

    Hi everyone, I am sorry if this is a common topic and the fact that this is my first post.
    I downloaded R:TW Gold edition (BI attached) and downloaded Rome Total realism gold 6.0 gold and installed but it made my game crash with an error message, i was hoping someone might be able to help a new guy out.

    RTR 6 is made for vanilla RTW. If you want one that will work with BI, you'll need RTR Platinum (or EXRM, or FOE).

    That's because of this:

    You version of RTW Gold with BI and everything, has RTW patched to 1.5 and BI patched to 1.6. Try one of the other mods mentioned (on a clean install of RTW!!) if you want to get it to work.

    (btw, moved to the RTR Gold/Platinum forum)

    Yes, Platinum should.

    "Vanilla" means without add-ons, just the original Rome: Total War.

    I'll have to try this again, but last time I used the Platinum download and still didn't function with my Steam copy of RTW/BI.

    I do not know if this topic still applies, but I just bought the Steam Rome pack thing that includes all three games intending to try out RTRPE, and I got it to work. Step by step, all I did was:
    1. Buy it
    2. Download/install/fully update the gold version
    3. Install RTRPE v1.9 mod switch version to my "\Steam\steamapps\common\rome total war gold" directory
    4. Tested out desktop shortcuts, which failed for me
    5. Went to "My Games"
    6. Right-clicked on and went to "Properties" of "Rome: Total War - Gold Edition"
    7. Went to "Set launch options..."
    8. Typed in "-mod:RTRPE"
    9. Opened "Rome: Total War - Gold Edition" (not Barbarian Invasion) and saw different backgrounds and quotes and whatnot, so I am just assuming everything is fine.

    Hope this helps.
