[fgsb991999]

Help, I can't play RS2: I've downloaded and installed RS2 2.0 following the instructions for steam users and patched the mod to 2.1 after. When I launch the game it says: error filaname doesn't exist: data/animations/SG 01 idle 01.cas and then antoher error message apears : Script Error in data/dscr_skeleton.txt at line 56, column 133
AnimDB: Could not load data/animations/SG01 idle 01.cas
I've tried putting -mod:play_Rome -show_err -nm (with the space before beginning) in steam but the same thing happens.
Please Help

did you try re downloading and reinstalling?

Please move to Technical thread...

Are you sure you installed the patch correctly, because the error looks like a bad install...?

Hello.

Thy this please.

To fix this problem, do the following:

1. You need a clean and patched up version of RTW.
2. Download all the RS2 files, as shown in the release thread.

3. Now, install the RS2 mod to a new folder, created on the desktop. Mine is named Roma Surrectum 2.
4. When the mod has been completly installed, copy and paste the entire contents of the Roma Surrectum 2 folder, located on your desktop, to your freshly installed RTW game. folder.

5. Install the 2.5 patch to a new folder, just like step 3., and follow step 4. too.

6. The new launcher that has been created on the desktop doesn't work. This is because it is a shortcut that the installer has directed towards the Roma Surrectum 2 folder located on your desktop, which isn't a game folder. To fix this, right-click the shortcut and change the Target and Start In lines so that both point to your correct RTW folder.

So in my case, "C:\Users\Al Simmons\Desktop\Roma Surrectum 2\Roma Surrectum II.exe"

becomes "D:\Activision\Rome - Total War\launcher\Roma Surrectum II.exe"

etc.

7. If you did everything correct, the launcher on the desktop works. If it doesn't delete it and create a new shortcut from the "Roma Surrectum II.exe" file located in Activision\Rome - Total War\launcher.

Enjoy!

All of these threads are almost identical in issues

Anyone would think that people don't read the other threads, much less try a search for the same error.
