Where to download Platinum?

**Spartan19** · September 05, 2006, 10:32 PM

Hey, where can I get the 1.6 version of the mod? None of the links are working under the download section or the post made in this forum.
I tried both the 1.4 to 1.6 and the straight up 1.6 mod, and neither of them work, is there a place to get it?
Thanks.

Sorry, it does not. I already tried those, but the page has been disabled when you click on it, it does not work.
Thanks anyways.

Is it just me, or does it seem RTR is dying? I mean they arent even hosting the mod in a place where someone can download it, its getting really annoying.

RTR 7 and RTRPE are two different projects. See this post about what links/options are available:

Moved to RTR Platinum sub-forum.

Which links worked for you?

**Spartan19** · September 06, 2006, 12:05 PM

Since its not working Ill just wait and prey to the RTW gods and hope 1.7 is done soon.

Did you tried the links for the v1.4 full install and for the v1.6 patch I gave you? See this again:

Edit: I didn`t ask you that just to sound important. I really need to know what links we can trust. If any. Thanks!

This is from filefront:
Invalid Key or in use or Missing File

Your download key for the requested file is invalid. Download keys are only valid for 48 hours. Once your download is complete, the key is no longer valid. Keys are also only valid for the original server.

Additionally this error may be caused because the file was not found on the server.

If you need help starting your download, please contact FileFront support.
So then i download 1.4 from 3d downloads, then I download 1.6 from rapidshare, but its not over.

WHile installing 1.6 I get this message
RTR Platinum Final Beta has not been totally installed because of the following reason:
Data\fmv\rome_title.wmv: This file contains invalid data (error 21FC)

This sucks, it wont work anywhere.

**Turkeys!** · September 06, 2006, 10:41 PM

try 3ddownloads link for it others dont work

**Spartan19** · September 06, 2006, 10:58 PM

Update:
After re-extracting the file, I could get 1.6 to install, but now it just crashes straight to desktop. It shows the RTR intro, then the original CA intro w/ the Carhtiginian troops and such, and then just crshaes.
This really sucks. Makes me wish EB 8.0 was out sooner and sooner, after all this trouble hopefully RTR is the greatest mod of all time.

Edit: I was making a mistake. It was 1.4 that could not install, and so I(for whatever reason) tried installing 1.6 and it was crashing, but that makes sense since 1.4 was not installed, but either way it does not matter, since 1.4 will not install. Damn damn.
And I kept trying to install 1.4 after each time it said there was an error, and it kept bring up a new error each time I retried it.
And appearently there isnt a place to get it, because file share does not have it, and the 3d downloads does not work correctly when you download it.

**Turkeys!** · September 06, 2006, 11:02 PM

strange it shouldnt be showing ca's intro

**Constantin_the_Great** · September 07, 2006, 03:10 AM

Hey Spartan i had the same prob as you about 2 weeks ago....

try this:

get the url: http://www.rometotalrealism.org/files/RTR_Platinum.exe only i replaced it with the new URL so its now http://www.totalrealism.net/files/RTR_Platinum.exe

as for the 1.6 patch that worked for me... if you cant find it on the new URL it might be a problem with your download manager, just try using your IE or firefox downloader... rapidshare and filefront tend to work negatively with most dl managers ive found.

Thanks for the help, but that too has an error when installing. It might just be my stupid PC. But just to make sure I have it right, you first out in 1.3, then 1.5 the RTR 1.4, then 1.6 right?
You dont need to patch to 1.2 before 1.3 do you?
Thanks again.

Spartan, I had the same problems for a week. See this post from florin. He posted this on my thread yesterday and it worked like a charm.

Uninstalled and deleted Rome: Total War.
Re-installed Rome Total War
DLed and installed Patch 1.3 for RTW
DLed and installed Patch 1.5 for RTW
DLed and installed RTRPE 1.4 Full Install (was called Final Beta)
DLed and installed RTRPE 1.6 patch
Spent a good 5 hours playing RTR afterwards!

Here are some links that I think work for RTRPE v1.4 full install: http://www.3ddownloads.com/Strategy/...R_Platinum.exe
http://files.filefront.com/RTR_Plati.../fileinfo.html

Try the first one from 3ddownloads. Click it and then click start downloading and wait for the "Estimated Waiting Time". If that doesn`t work try the link to filefront(the second one I gave you)

Now here is a link for the RTRPE v1.6 patch:
http://rapidshare.de/files/29483559/...Patch.zip.html

If you don`t manage to download the v1.4 full install then you should wait for the RTRPE v1.7 which will be released this week-end if things go well. But I can`t promise you that.

If you need nore directions for installing the mod check this detailed install guide:

Thanks man! That`s great! We need more people like you. I`ll post the new link. I`m giving you reputation for this.

@Spartan19

1. You should not be able to see the vanilla intro after you have installed the mod(RTRPE). There should be two movies for RTR(one for the credits).
2. You say something about installing RTRPE v1.6. The only v1.6 available now is the patch. So, before you install that you need to install the RTRPE v1.4 full install. Then the RTRPE v1.6 patch.
3. You do not need RTW v1.2. If you have vanilla RTW v1.0 you need to install RTW v1.3 patch(corresponding to the language of the game) and RTW v1.5 patch.
4. Not sure about what error you were talking about. But the first time I extracted the v1.4 patch I had problems with it. It wouldn`t extract all the way to 100%. After a few tryies I managed to do it. So if that`s what`s happening to you I advice you to extract it in a different folder then where you have the game. Keep trying until you succeed to extract 100% of the files. Then you should move(copy is better so you`ll have a backup if you mess it up) the files inside that folder you`ve created inside the folder where is the game.

Anyway, sorry for all this situation. I really hope that Marcus does something about his site and we`ll have a full version ready for download ASAP. I see no point in uploading the v1.6 full install on rapidshare or somewhere else if the v1.7 full install will be released in a matter of days. Hopefully.

**Spartan19** · September 07, 2006, 01:12 PM

It must be my PC. Ive done everything right numerous times, even reformatted to make it as clean as possible. Everything goes fine until installing 1.4. It always has some error. It extracts all the way, and installs about 1% then has an error, now it says something about the skeleton data being incoreect. Oh well, Ill just way for 1.7 and hope that works.
Thanks again for everyones help.
