Runs in Vanilla

[Just Artsi]

So I've been playing ETW and i miss the diversity of units, etc and i thought i'd return to RTW and EB. So I get a clean 1.5 RTW then download EB 1.1 and 1.2, install it into c:\the creative assembly\rome total war and when i launch it from the EB icon it starts off as vanilla. So i thought, oh no biggie ill just redo everything, so i do and tada same thing. Last time i played EB was on my XP now im running Windows 7 and I am the admin of the pc...soooo whats going on

From the Frequently encountered issues:

My EB shortcut doesn't work!

Sorry about that. A product of lacking experience with creating installers, I made a mistake when creating the shortcuts that start EB 1.2.

• Use the Trivial Script to start EB instead of the start menu shortcut. You need to have installed this as part of EB 1.1.
• Modify the shortcut target. Move the end quote from the end of the line to directly after RomeTW.exe and it should work (goes for both the new shortcuts in 1.2). For instance, instead of "C:\My games\RomeEB\RomeTW.exe -mod:eb -show_err -ne" it should be "C:\My games\RomeEB\RomeTW.exe" -mod:eb -show_err -ne.

If this doesn't help, create a new shortcut to RomeTW.exe, open the settings and edit the target line by adding: -mod:eb -show_err -ne
