I wanna play RSII

**revo** · March 17, 2012, 07:04 PM

So here is my problem guys: A long long time ago, in a time when gas prices were still modest, i installed RTW and eb in open folders on my hard drive with no backups. and while i still absolutely love EB i wanna play RSII now. would it work if i just moved the modded copy of RTW and EB into a seperate folder and installed a new copy of RTW? or would i have to uninstall it all and lose my wonderful EB saves? Mucho thanks and rep for answers

RS2 must be installed into an unmodded copy of RTW. Although EB is modfoldered, RS2 will definitely break it. So copy the install of RTW WITHOUT the EB modfolder, and you 'should' be able to play RS2 in that.

Yeah i know that. I was more asking if their was a way i could get the vanilla RTW out of the EB folder i guess i shouldve been more clear.

but all the contents of vanilla RTW are put together with the contents of EB is what i'm trying to get across

EB is modfoldered so how did this happen.

In which case no. You need a clean RTW to start with.

You could just copy your Eb saves to a safe place before reinstalling and thus get the best out of both worlds.

Text is too small to make out anything. This doesn't matter though as Apple already told you what to do.

You click on the picture and it gets bigger. Whoooa!

I remember reading somewhere that this was possible, but I forgot where :/

I suggest you just do what apple said.

Did yet it is too small still.

after that right click on the image and open in on an other page ( there is the command at least in chrome)
It enlarges it even more

I found that out after the first post but I was too lazy to edit and backtrack. Me seeing it wouldn't matter anyway as the answer had already been posted.

Does it really that matter wether you can read exactly what is in the pic or not?

It's clearly visible that there are shortcuts or other stuff from EB.

All files or folders from EB will get ignored by the installation of RS anyway since
they are not being addressed by the install anyways - you could create a dozen
of folders of your choice in there and they wouldn't affect the install aswell as long
as file- or foldernames do not use reserved names by rtw.

Unfortunately, as I mentioned above, any install of RS2 into an RTW install of EB will BREAK EB. Regardless of the fact that EB is modfoldered, RS2 is technically NOT modfoldered (although all of its camapigns are). So RS2 changes things in the RTW data folder that EB didn't change. This will render EB broke. Trust me, I know. But if you copy everything in the folder shown above into a new folder called 'RS2' EXCEPT all the EB stuff or anything that says EB on it, you should be able to install RS2 into that folder then. EB changes nothing in your original RTW install, so basically it is a 'clean RTW' install. Just copy it.
