    Icon9 Steam launcher freeze

    Same here. Decided to give old RTW a spin again and this looked like a good enough mod to do it with, shame it isn't working. The launcher starts up but when I press play, the darn thing just freezes and becomes unresponsive, no error message or anything. I did the step-by-step process everyone keeps pointing at, but no effect. And yeah, I do have that show_err thingy in the launcher. Hope you guys find a fix soon, I'd hate to have to bring my bussiness elsewhere...

    Do you have a file called steamlauncherBI.bat in your steam RTW folder?

    Could you copy the folder out of the program files, and download the launcher attached to the 13nth post of the following thread (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=546097).
    Back up the Roma Surrectum II.exe file found in the launcher folder, and replace it with the one in the zip file.

    Negatory. Sounds like something I oughta have, having bought the game from Steam and all...

    No it's created by the launcher to start Steam.
    It doesn't work because for some reason the launcher doesn't create it.

    Can I have a screenshot of your RTW folder please?
    At the level of the data folder, the exe, and the play_***.

    Uhm okay, I've added my general RTW and the launcher folders (I think). If you need something else or more specific, try telling me in Sesame street English, my proficiency with computers basically ends with pressing enter...

    Everything looks good.

    What do you have written in the top left corner of the launcher?

    Ok thanks, I'm going to dig in the code to see what's wrong.

    In the mean time, you can start the mod manually.

    Have a look at the Running RS2 on Steam section.
