If you see only Custom and Historical Battles, that's all you can play there. You must go out of the game, start the Launcher, and choose the faction you want to play there.

...and if that doesn't work you have installed it incorrectly.

The annoying thing is OP that you will have to quit the game and reload the launcher everytime you want to start or load a campaign not like in the old days when you could go back to the main menu. Also if you change anything in the preferences you will need to go into all the faction subfolders and change the preferences there as well. Silly I know!

Actually that's not entirely true, I learned a funny trick in Beta testing...When installed the RTW 1.5, before installing RSII...I set up my preferences in for Vanilla RTW such as video settings, etc...it carried over to RSII on ALL factions.

Unfortunately, I forgot this during my install of the final release, and now must do as you said above.

Part of this is hidden in the install instructions of using a 'working' RTW install. I would hope that the preferences were set up there.

In my clean RTW install I have everything set up that I want - all I have to do is copy that somewhere else.

Clearly if you need to change a setting then it needs to go to all the folders (at least the ones where a campaign has been launched).

Yeah I have no problem going into each faction...I was merely explaining something to another member. But thanks!

It's not silly! It allows us to customise each factions campaign.

**Leeham991** · September 08, 2010, 08:30 AM

Judging by the battles and long essays on all the buildings, units, ect I would say that RS2 is made for people with enough attention span to play 1 campaign at a time

I spent 3 hours reading unit cards, building descriptions and the build mode legal documents yesterday. :3

**apple** · September 08, 2010, 08:42 AM

Yeah our writer did a stellar job on the descriptions.

**rial2209** · September 08, 2010, 09:51 AM

How did I install it incorrectly if it's missing the choise for campaign?

So the campaign is started from the lower right corner, according to that guy hiding his ugly face behind his hand when he speaks to other people?

____

There are only options for historical battles and custom battles. How can I install this game any differently. I did everything it said on the thread.

Downlaoded all files as torrent, click the setup, set it up, found my folder, installed. Everything seems to work alright, but it's just missing the start campaign.

I have no idea what the faceplamer was tlaking about, he must have faceplamed himself for being an idiot, as I'm no ttrying to start a custom battle. There is nothing in th elower rigth corner of the New Game screen.

Wel, I'm not gonna go through installing this again as I don't know what I should do diffrently. it would be nice to hear why the campaign is missing if there is an explanaiton, or someone has any experience of this happening.

I selected rome, as I said, so i did not not select a faction.

Well firstly this should be in the Technical support section.
Secondly follow the tips posted in the "Known issues" thread that is sticked in that same forum. Try what I wrote in the second post in that thread.
I will move this to the right place.

**rial2209** · September 08, 2010, 10:35 AM

it seems that the custom battles crash the game, so I'm done with this mod.. Sadly. Wouldve loved to play me some RTW, but with the mod being this complicated to get working and no idea to wher eto start, I can't be asked, I have better things to do. Who knows, maybe the first thing I do will fix it, or the 100th thing, but I doubt I will find out.

Thanks for your help, see ye.
