    Default Help! I downloaded the mod but I cant play it

    I downloaded the mod perfectly fine but after the installation process finishes nothing happens, there is no link to start the game but all the files are installed into my programme files. I installed rome total war via steam, does this have an effect at all? Someone please impart their wisdom into me, like master Yoda. Cheers. : )

    Did you try using the original RTW Icon?

    Maybe we should start calling SPQR a Total Conversion.

    Yeah I tried it but there was no change to the game and the S.P.Q.R weren't an available faction.
    And if I do correctly install it will it completely over-write and change the original copy of Rome total war?

    "The Romans" is the name of the faction you actually play. SPQR is just Roma and Latium.
    Yes, if you install correctly, the installer replaces a bunch of the original files, and then, when you run the regular Rome.exe the load screen and intro video are different, and so is the game. If it's working, you'll know.

    I'm using steam (successfully). my file path for Rome is C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\rome total war gold

    aim yon installer there and it should work.

    Mine opens, but loading to the main screen it collapses.

    You need to change the resolution parameters in the preferences.txt

    Does it flicker then CTD? if so it could be to do with your native resolution and default Game resolution not being compatable.
