Rtw in steam

[gray4203]

Hi I recently bought Rtw gold on steam in a sale yet it doesn't come with alex, lucky for me I have a disk version of Rtw gold which came with alex, yet when I try to install It off the disc it comes up with an error

Please help!

Disc version of Alex will only work if you have disk version of Rome.
Annoying as it is, you can't mix them, so you'll have to either use a disc version of Rome: Total War and install that then Alex, or buy Alex on Steam.

EDIT: sorry I just realised you may have meant that you were trying to install Rome: Total War and Alexander both from disc, in which case sorry I can't help. I had a similar error with a Medieval II Gold disc and after emailing SEGA and SecuRom (or whichever it was), I had to buy another Gold edition as the discs were corrupted in some way

Glad to be of service.
Yea I think its partly to make an extra bit of $$ and partly because that was how the games were packaged years ago
