Hello

; This thread is upmost interesting for me, as the Cam for the battle is unavaible, and I also cannot play Custom battle... I don't understand what is a "Vanilla Game".
I have downloaded the VanillaE.zip:
I don't understand completely, what I should do in order to unable the Cam & the Custom Battles :
Where Do I have to write "RomeTW.exe" -enable_editor" and "-movie_cam" (I mean the command line appears in the game when you press ²)
Regards

I've installed RTW and now when I go to play it, it won't go past the credits page. Please help, this is frustrating.

Try reinstalling first, make sure to delete the RTW directory in the process too.

It uses Windows Media Player for the movies. Make sure that you've got the latest version of that.

Also make sure that you don't have the -nm switch on your shortcut target (it's the no movie switch). It doesn't sound like you do.

It's in the post. I presume you know how to put the -show_err switch on? It's the same way.

How is the best way to uninstall / delete a mod?

If it's mod foldered - just delete the mod folder.

If it's not mod foldered and you copied the RTW game folder and applied the mod there - delete the folder you created for the mod (this is what I do even for mod-foldered games).

If it's not mod foldered and you installed to the RTW folder - uninstall RTW and start again (next time keep a clean RTW folder patched to the correct level and copy it - even if you only keep one copy folder).
