Ctd in FOE anyone else having the same problem?

[Megasalexandros]

A question , i installed very carefully RTW and then Bi and patched it with 1.6
I installed Foe 1.1 and also installed the 1.3 version.
I entered the game from the shortcut that was created.
The entering video ended and the first loading screen before i even entered the main menu started, before the end of the loading the screen gets black and a massage comes that says that the game will now exit due to an error .
Does anyone else have the same problem? I already asked in the bugs thread but i didnt get a certain answer, any ideas?

Can you tell us what operating system you are using (Windows 7 has some quirks especially if you let it do the default installation) and if you can provide some more detail about the error message, that would also help.

Are you installing RTW/BI from steam or from disks (if so which version)?

iam using xp not vista.
The error massage is a typical message that you get when total war crashes with a warning, the icon of the game is in the window and it says that the game will now exit etc i dont remember details .
Iam installing total war from disks the normal versions, and i patch them , i installed another mod so to be sure that it is not my installation that have the problem, and the other mod performed normally, so ?

Is does sound like a faulty install Im afraid. If everything is else is working fine, I cant think what else the problem could be.

If you didn't clearly say you had installed the 1.3 patch on top of 1.1, I would have thought it was FoE 1.0. But since you did that, I'm afraid it's a bugged install...

What entering video do you get? BI, RTW, FoE or something entirely else (another mod)?
Did you install FoE on an unmodded version of RTW?

No let me explain what i did step by step.

Firstly i installed RTW A CLEAN INSTALLATION,
then i patched it to 1.5 version
then i installed BI and patched it to 1.6
then on top of this CLEAN installation i installed FOE1.1 and then 1.3
I downloaded the mod from 3 different places to be sure that it wasnt a corrupt download.

I entered the game, and i had a Vanilla Barbarian invasion entering video, then i had the loading screen and the crash.
I did the same procedure for 3 time with the 3 different downloads and i had the same problem

Hmm all I can say really is that applying the 1.5 patch isn't necessary, but it would be odd if installing it caused the problems.

I have 1.5, nothing wrong on my end.

Try re-installing and get back to us
