Campaign won't start

[someguy11]

Hi there,
Whenever I try to start a campaign as the Seleucids, something weird happens. Whenever I get to the part of the menu where you select the engine you're going to use, and when I get to the part where the text scrolls past and gives you the backstory, it won't let me move forward. Instead, when I click on the area below where it says' Click here to start the Seleucid campaign', I keep getting a message telling me to 'Please select an item from the list'. It's the first campaign I've tried to start up, and I'm running RSII without any submods and the high-res unit models, post-Marian general and high-quality vegetation options ticked in the launcher. I set my .exe in the launcher as BI, which is what I'm using to play the mod.

I also get an error message after exiting out of the game, after trying to get the Seleucid campaign going:
'Script Error in play_seleucid/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/descr_strat.txt, at line 12, column 1. Expected start date of campaign or battle'.

So, any idea what's wrong?

your RTW has to be patched to 1.5 and is your BI 1.6 ?...some gold versions are not patched to 1.6

btw
high res units ON will cause CTD in battle...has to be OFF
unit shaders have to be ON or will casue CTD in battle

The 'select an item from the list' error is explained in the pinned/stickied part of this forum. Look at the 3rd post (by me) in this thread: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=386590

Please look around the forum before posting - it can get you playing the mod sooner.

There is also this thread there which explains the bits that Chris10 posted for you: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=387992
