EB Installation

[th0mas890]

I attempted to install EB last night and like many (apparently) the game closes when I try to start a campaign. I, therefore, went through the installation validation and it came up with these results:

You don't have an original installation; There are changes to files, or some are missing.
However, these may be conscious changes you have made, to remod EB. See below for details.

I am not very technically minded so I think I need a point in the right direction in what to download and/or install in order to solve the problem. In general information I saved everything in my D: drive and essentially followed the installation guide just to make sure I was installing everything correctly. Thanks.

I have now also installed all the bug fixes and the same happens.

Disable movies either in the options of the Trivial Script or by adding -nm to the end of the target line of your shortcut.

If you have further technical questions see this: Frequently encountered issues
And don't forget to read the EB FAQ

It's working now, thanks. Just one thing, why can I not have phallanx troops with Selucia in custom battle?

[XSamatan]

Due to engine related limitations not all troops can be represented in the EDU, starting EB by using the "EB-Multiplayer" shortcut in your RTW-folder will give you access to all troops.
If you have any more questions about EB, please read the EB FAQ!
