What's wrong with EB?

**Titus Labienus** · April 01, 2010, 03:12 PM

I dl'd the main file and the 1.2 patch, installed them both and there's no icon on my desktop for them. When I go into my computer-the creative assemb;y-rome total war, I can't find them there either? What gives? WHat did I do wrong with the install?

thanks

It's pretty clear EB has installed in the wrong place, check that the installation folder was correct (I don't think the installer does it automatically).

It installed it into a seperate folder called "Rome Total War" and none of the icons do anything. I tried moving the file into program files "The Creative Assembly" but it's still bollixed. And for some reason when I search my computer for "my downloads it cna't find the farking file. I deleted the Rome Total War file and will dl it again and be careful where I install the freaking thing to. Grrrr.

OK, the downloads file opened up when I tryed to dl it agian so I don't have to dl it again. I clkd on the file and it tried to install into "Rome Total War" again, so I selected Progam Files-The Creative Assembly-Rome Total War to install it to. It said that it didn't recommend installing it into Program Files, but where the hell else am I supposed to put it? XGM and Amazon didn't present these problems when I installed them. Grrrr. I'm proceeding with installing it where I think it should go I hope this works. Where did you install it to Bobbin? Thanks

Geat Ceasar's Ghost, this is freaking hard, When I try to install the patch it says C:\[First select your RTW where EB1.1 is, then remove this] What the hell does that mean? Should I modifiy it to Program Files-Creative Assembly-Rome Total War? Do I leave it as it is? Thanks Bobbin

Now where did you install your main game (RTW)?

**XSamatan** · April 01, 2010, 04:26 PM

Modify it to your RTW main folder, afterwards install the fixes.
It isn't recommended to install into the Program Files because of the write-protection of Vista/Win7. Better is to install into something like C:\Games

Oh, I think you know there is a EB FAQ that might answer some questions.

Well I've got a two year old pc running on good old XP so I don't need to worry about that. I seem to have gotten through the installation process ok. It worried me when I first started it up, it just sat there with a "Europa Barbarum" screen for the longest time, but it eventually got moving. I'm now reading through the faction descriptions trying to figure out who I wanna play. Thanks for all the advice, this was a trying experience but assuming it doesnt crash when I actually play it, it seems that all is good now.
