So, I am guessing it has to do with the mod packs or something, but each time I try to get into the game, it refuses to get past the launcher screen. What are all the packs I need to have to play ACW?
Edit: Okay, I was able to get the game working. But, isn't there suppose to be new units? New things to this version? I don't seem to see anything new.
Edit, Edit: Oh. I reread the 3.4 description of changes. Never mind.

So, I followed the installation instructions, hadn't got the previous versions of ACW installed and got this error
"Error: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got string)
Stack Trackback

And the log:

I did a fresh install of Empire: Total War today, launched it up. Worked perfectly fine. Installed ACW, then I attempted playing. It started up, the background was pure white and it gave me an Empire Windows Error.
I attempted at just playing Empire, and it failed too. So I moved the ACW folder to my desktop, and launched up Empire. It worked fine. I dont know what the problem is. What patch is required for the mod?
The log said it launched fine, I think I didnt install the patch yet for Empire: Total War...

Today I did a fresh install of Empire: Total War. I launched the game up and it worked fine. Installed ACW, attempted at launching the game, and I got a white background with a Windows Error. So.. I tried launching the original Empire.exe, failed again. I moved the ACW folder to my desktop, launched Empire, and it worked. I think I didn't install the patches yet.

The error has to do with your user script. Next time got in File menu, scripts folder and delete all txt files you'll find there. Try again.
Try again and after fail do not close ACW but start Empire normally using Empire shortcut. If this last trick does not work then you know what to do...Originally Posted by [URL="http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=160334"
It would be good to mention the problem. In your log I can see 2 issues. First you have not started Steam before start ACW. Second your user script has double entries. Follow the advice I gave to Luc de Vandamie above.
Everything looks good. Since you have the original game there is no need to patch it as it does it automatically when a new patch is available. Follow the advice I gave to Luc de Vandamie above.
so, fresh install of Empire, fresh and new install of B&G 3.4
I get this error code when it CTD's

Again, fresh install of both Empire and ACW 3.4
Am I still missing something?
EDIT: Rebooted computer (hey sometimes it works!) not this time...still the same error...

You do not mention when exactly is the CTD. Have also in mind:
You have to login manually in Steam first and then start ACW (or any mod that uses a launcher). If you miss that and receive a CTD then you have to reboot before trying again.
Right sorry
CTD occurs during the first loading screen (the stencil-ish drawing of the officer with the sword) after about ten seconds of loading I get the CTD
I'm pretty sure I manually logged into Steam but I'm curious, what difference would it make as to a manual login as opposed to an auto login when Windows starts?
EDIT: Made sure to manually log into steam, still the same result

If your Steam start with Windows then its ok. you od not need to manually restart it. The "auto" way is to let the game itself start Steam automatically.
About your issue now: perhaps it is a user script problem. I suggest to go in scripts folder and delete all files. Mod will make fresh next time you will start it.

husserlTW, I appreciate your patience on this!
Just deleted all the scripts, but still getting the CTD. Most recent log is below
Also, one thing to note (I wouldn't think it changes anything)
I installed the beta to Roma Victrix, but it was only two .pack files which you copy into the Data folder, and to uninstall you delete them...would this screw anything up? (Yes, I have deleted these and verified the cache via Steam)
Any other suggestions? Or should I keep looping of uninstall-reinstall?

I can see from report that there are not any remains from other mods. Also all files seem to be in the right place so there is no reason to keep on install/uninstall... Tough case... Do you play vanilla campaign without problem?
Try also this: after CTD do not close the ACW. First verify that user script is ok. To do that go in File menu and open user script. You must see these commands:
mod bg_art.pack;
mod bg_core.pack;
mod bg_db.pack;
mod bg_models.pack;
mod bg_music.pack;
mod bg_camp_wpath.pack;
mod bg_us_wpath.pack;
If your script is ok., then -having still ACW open- start Empire normally using vanilla shortcut or exe.
Checked all of those, had everything I needed
I tested playing Vanilla and even THERE I got the CTD so I'm doing a fresh reinstall of ETW weirdest thing EVER...I'll let you know if it works and if it was just my computer acting silly
Thanks for the time and patience Husserl! Much appreciated!
UPDATE
Just wiped everything and reinstalled Empire and still am getting the crash about five seconds in on the loading screen
Verifying Cache now...

@JulietPapaOscar
for what it is worth, I could probably warn you about one thing... it happened to me yesterday too. if you had an older version of ACW (from 3.0 up) and you in-installed it without setting the launcher to restore vanilla then you will have problems like these. I have failed to do that yesterday and pondered on it for a half an hour. I verified cache with Steam twice (nothing was missing) installed ACW 3.4 twice and still ctd happened on the loading screen (just as you say -> 5 seconds in). so I went to my data folder and noticed that there were bg_xxx.pack files in there because I forgot to restore the vanilla. so I wiped them with delete, fresh installed ACW and everything worked...
Interesting...I will definitely check that out when I get back home in a couple of hours! Many thanks Minas!
UPDATE I checked the data folder and had no BG data packs
Just tried launching still getting the CTD (fresh install of both ACW 3.4 and ETW 1.5)

UPDATEHmmmmm this may also be something to look out for. Steam has a lovely reputation for not completely uninstalling stuff, so corrupted files linger even after you "delete local content"
Found this lovely little post, may help!
