    Default Can't launch through steam

    So I followed the steam installation instructions, installed the rs files into the tw folder and then added the lines -mod:play_Rome -show_err to the launcher(with the space before -mod).

    Now I get always this error
    Error:Filename doesn't exist: data/animations/SG 01 idle01.cas

    Since I did everything as Instructed why is this file missing?

    You'll need to reinstall the mod this way.

    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!
