Greetings,
I came across this wonderful mod yesterday and immediately decided to give it a go, so I carefully followed every instruction for installing on steam, but to no avail! I nowfind myself in the desperate position to reach out for a helping hand. It is so that when i start the launcher press the steam button, proceed to select faction and ultimately press play nothing happens and the launcher becomes unresponsive, forcing me to use the task manager to shut it down. I did of course try anything I could find in older threads, like using launch options in Steam, without forgetting space or captions, but nothing seemed to work. I am currently using Vista and both Rome TW gold edition and Alexander were fresh installations and properly updated. I tried all .exe files and the it's installed in OS (C/Program/Steam/steamapps/common/Rome Total War Gold. I had of course extracted the files from Alexander to Rome Total War Gold.

I hope to hear from you soon!

PS
I did find other users with this problem, but no solution other than the mentioning of a missing SteamLauncher.bat file, that I actually can't find, anyone got a spare?
