I have windows 8 64 bit I believe and RTW on steam. I installed Europa Barbarorum into the RTW: Gold Edition folder along with the patch and the 1.2 fixes. Originally, I received the error message failed to find Steam so I copied steam.dll into the game folder. Then every time I try to open the game from steam the screen simply blinks, changes resolution and then returns to normal. I added the -mod:eb -show_err line to the launch options in steam without any results.

I've combed through all the internet fixes that seemed to apply to my issues but I haven't been able to resolve the problem. To be honest almost everything I know about computers I learned to try and solve this problem so I'm hoping someone can help me understand to fix this in the simplest possible terms.

Thanks!
