    Default Cannot play campaign or battle, but launcher loads

    Steam
    Windows 7
    Gold Edition, Versions should be RTW 1.5 and BI 1.6, I can't check because after installing RSII neither works anymore
    Steam was installed outside program files, and RTW of course inside steam, I followed instructions and installed RSII to another folder, then copied contents to the RTW gold folder, overwriting everything.
    I started the launcher, clicked steam to make it say Steam: Yes, then I began the game with Battle Only setting.

    There were historical and custom battles, to be expected. Customs will not launch, I got an error about script, data, map, and something on exist. Don't know the exact error because it hasn't happened since, but I still can't play anything.

    So I try One-turn campaigns, bring me to the same exact menu as before, no faction selection. Tried historical instead and got a CTD.

    Then I try out a few of the faction campaigns, all brings me to the same starting menu of historical and custom battles. Neither are playable.

    So in essence, nothing is playable, and I'm sure I followed the installation instructions. This is not a UAC problem because Steam was installed outside program files. I also followed the tidbit at the end of the instructions about steam.

    Can someone help?

    Try turning off UAC and Aero.

    I'd try turning off Aero first, just use personalize menu and change to a non-aero theme, if that doesn't work, try disabling UAC as well.

    For the campaign bug, have a look at the last post of this thread.

    As for the other one, if it reappears, could you please report it entirely?
