    Default Can't Start the Game - Error Messages

    Hi, first off I am really looking forward to playing this mod. I've heard a lot about it from some friends and seen some beautiful screenshots of it.

    So I finally got round to downloading it. Now I'm not sure what I've done wrong so I'll just post all the information I know about and hopefully some of you boffins can help me out here!

    First, I will relay the three error messages given:

    "You don't have Roma Surrectum II installed in the correct folder. (C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\rome total war gold\Roma Surrectum II)" (1/3)

    "Engine: RomeTW.exe, Faction campaign: -mod:play_rome" (2/3)

    "In total: 'RomeTW.exe -mod:play_rome-show_err -nm -movie_cam" (3/3)


    For the first error message, I don't understand - that IS where my RSII folder is. The second two are completely incomprehensible to me.

    OK, now I read the Before You Post An Error thread and here is my info:

    What OS do you use - Windows Vista

    - What version of RTW do you use? Gold Edition

    - Are you using steam or not? Yes

    - Install path - I'm unsure of what this is, sorry

    - Which launcher option have you used (exe, faction etc): Rome, Rome.exe


    Any help would be really appreciated, I'm really looking forward to playing this excellent looking game.

    Ok you've installed wrong. You need to install into the folder where RTW.exe is. Reread the install instructions, they detail the way you need to install RS2.

    I read and reread the instructions many times. It can be difficult for people who don't have much idea of computers. I would hope you would be a little more understanding. What is a RTW.exe and where can I find it?

    The RomeTW.exe file is in the folder - it just does not show the file extensions for 'known file types'.

    I can't help with Steam as I don't use R:TW with Steam.
