game wont launch

[Inhuman One]

For me its crashing whenever I try to launch it. It just goes back to desktop and says the program is not reacting anymore.

At first it gave some other errors, because I missed it that that standard direction for the installation is wrong because there is no creative assembly folder, but an activision folder instead so I picked up the rome total war folder created under this new creative assembly folder in program files, and merged it with the rome total war folder in the activision folder.

The game crashes when I try to launch it, it did launch when I selected battles only but it only showed the vanilla factions.

Can't help you, but I had the same issue you mentioned a couple of times with oter games.
Anyway, before an experienced moderator answers you, it might help (for them) if you answer these?

Reinstalled it today, now I get the error that a skeleton for a forest elephant javelin rider or such cant be found.

This is a known issue and a fix has been posted on the main page.

For convenience, I have posted it below:

Error: Filename doesn't exist : data/animations/SG 01 idle 01.cas

Script Error in data/descr_skeleton.txt, at line 56, colum 133.
AnimDB: Could not load - 'data/animations/SG 01 idle 01.cas'

To fix this problem, do the following:

1. You need a clean and patched up version of RTW.
2. Download all the RS2 files, as shown in the release thread.

3. Now, install the RS2 mod to a new folder, created on the desktop. Mine is named Roma Surrectum 2.
4. When the mod has been completly installed, copy and paste the entire contents of the Roma Surrectum 2 map folder, located on your desktop, to your freshly installed RTW game. folder.

5. The new launcher that has been created on the desktop doesn't work. This is because it is a shortcut that the installer has directed towards the Roma Surrectum 2 folder located on your desktop, which isn't a game folder. To fix this, right-click the shortcut and change the Target and Start In lines so that both point to your correct RTW folder.

So in my case, "C:\Users\Al Simmons\Desktop\Roma Surrectum 2\Roma Surrectum II.exe"

becomes "D:\Activision\Rome - Total War\launcher\Roma Surrectum II.exe"

etc.

6. If you did everything correct, the launcher on the desktop works. If it doesn't delete it and create a new shortcut from the "Roma Surrectum II.exe" file located in Activision\Rome - Total War\launcher.

Enjoy!

That should definitely work.
