CTD when I start a new campaign

[Varus2319]

I have the Gold Edition, downloaded from Gamestop.com

Every time I try to start a new campaign, I get a ctd with the message that RTW has stopped working.

Any ideas? What information can I provide that could be more helpful?

In an attempt to fix this I have uninstalled everything.

RTR PE tried to install to an "/Activision/Rome - Total War" folder. I have re-installed RTWGE to that folder, and then re-installed RTR PE.

That didn't help, I still get a ctd the instant I try to launch a campaign. (After selecting a faction and hitting "go")

You need to run(double click) the campaign reset batch file. You probably have a shortcut on your desktop for it. Or you can find it in the main Rome - Total War folder. Btw, the idea is to direct the mod to where the game is, not the other way around.

That didn't work. I'm pretty sure that .bat file ran after the mod setup. I left the checkbox checked.

However, just in case, I ran it again just now and I have the same problem.

How long is that .bat file supposed to run? For me it just barely flashed on screen for a moment, and then closes. Perhaps it isn't running properly?

Do you have the modswitch version of rtrpe or the regular one?

I'm not sure.
How can I check?

Screen says RTR platinum v 1.9
I'm pretty sure that it over-wrote game files, so it's probably not the mod switch version.
