Failed to find Steam

RTR Platinum v1.9 modswitch version

I've decided to buy RTW on Steam after loosing my old version...
I've installed the mod properly...
and when I run the shortcut on the desktop, a message pops up: "Failed to find Steam"
Help please?
Btw, I have Rome Total War Gold~

Do a search for your title inside this sub-forum. I can`t remember what the solution was, but I remember it being asked and answered a few times before.

I found these instructions on page 5 or so of this forum. Worked for me running the platinum edition. The forum thread iotself is located here http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=135369

hope it works

***
First, install the mod normally to "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\rome total war gold". No quotes of course. This should be where your game is if you are using STEAM.

Next, open STEAM. Open the "My games" tab. Right click on "Rome Total War: Gold". A window pops up. At the bottom, Left click "Properties." Window. Left click the button that says "Set launch options..." Window. Copy and paste "-mod:rtr_-show_err" (no quotes) into the text box and left click "OK".

Now you simply click "Rome Total War: Gold" in the "My games" list to play the mod. I hope this is helpful to somebody.
