Fully Uninstalling RTRVII on Steam

[Aniketos]

Hello Total War Center

I recently downloaded this mod, and although I really liked it, I would now like to return the game to its vanilla version.

I reinstalled several times and each time the "RTRVII" folder gets installed into the rome total war directory

I have tried:

-Just reinstalling
-Deleting the files manually and reinstalling
-Clearing the registry with CCleaner and reinstalling

I saw a solution for this but involved opening the registry editor and looking for a "Creative Assembly" folder but it is not there. I am guessing it is different for steam

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thank you

I would also like to add that I got vanilla working for the exception of missing cutscenes, the fact that the animation in the menu stands still, and the opening quote is always the same for some reason I am suspecting poorly uninstalled RTRVII is the reason for this

- When you remove the RTRVII folder, it doesn't just come back on its own. It just doesn't.
- Menu animation is a preference setting. Don't remember if you can change it via in-game options menu somewhere, but you can always go and edit preferences\preferences.txt by hand and set DISABLE_BACKGROUND_FMV:FALSE

I just deleted the folder, played a game for a little, and checked back only to find that RTRVII folder is still there.

Also, the only "preferences.txt" I cold find is in either that RTRVII folder or BI. DISABLE_BACKGROUND_FMV is set to false by the way

Also, BI does not work at all now

Verify the integrity of the Steam game cache. It will redownload any missing vanilla files. Anyway RTR does not in any way (if you do it correctly) install any files on top of vanilla folder.

I had the very same issue with RTRVIII. I got it working again by deleting the RTRVII folder that kept coming back, then verifying the integrity of the Steam game cache, and last but not lest making such that the 'set launch options' was cleared. Now it works just fine. Hope this helps
