Error message on startup

[Larkin]

Evening gents,

I just downloaded and installed RS2.5 after installing RTW, BI, and Alex all clean, patched to the latest versions. I started up the launcher and wanted to play in BI but got this:

Script Error in data/descr_event_images.txt, at line 2984, column 1.

Unknown event string settlement_razed

Now I'm a total idiot when it comes to things like this, so it's highly possible I've done something obviously wrong. But can anyone help tell me what I need to do to get it running? Thanks.

Hello.

Try to follow those instructions to install.
You should be able to do it over your current RSII install, and it should correct the error.

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!

I hope it will work.
