Can't Start the Game - Error Messages

[OnlySleeping]

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.

Can you screenshot your install folder please?

Sure, no problem:

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.
