Steam Install

[miyadaman]

How do I install this game with steam? I've followed the installation guide, but it's a bit incomplete. For example, where do I install the 3 additional files provided with 1.1? Do I install them to the Rome: Total War Gold file folder or do I install them into the ...EB file folder?

After following the installation instructions and trying to run EB nothing happens. Like... nothing. The computer doesn't begin to load anything, doesn't think. Nothing. When I tried to click the "Start Single Player" I get an error message that says it "can't find steam". That doesn't make much sense.

I know the tip is not to install the game into Program Folders, but with Steam you can't really avoid this. It's set into Program Folders and there's nothing to change that.

I'm not new to installing mods but this installation doesn't seem to be different than most - direct the files to your R:TW install folders and follow the process. However, that doesn't appear to work.

Any tips/help?

Also, reading through the installation guide there seems to be a number of members having issues trying to load the mod with Steam. I'm curious if there is anyone who has had success with this and if so, what did you do to bypass the Steam = boot through Program Files problem?

Also, I'm running Windows 7.

First of all install RTW Gold. When complete run vanilla RTW and exit, run BI and exit. Then install EB 1.1 in path Steam\steamapps\common\Rome Total War Gold then install EB 1.2 in path Steam\steamapps\common\Rome Total War Gold. Go to you steam library and right click on Rome total war gold edition - choose properties - enter run options (or what ever it is called in english since i got it in swedish) and enter -mod:eb -show_err . Now run Rome total War Gold edition from steam and play.

If that does not work the first time uninstall RTW gold edition from steam and remove the whole folder Rome Total War Gold under Steam\steamapps\common reboot and follow instructions above again. Also dont skip installing the trival script that can give you some problems.

I play on a win 7 machine through steam with gold edition and works just fine so you dont need to go xp mode or anything.
