@ LuciferHawk:
i have the exact same issue with newest version: my log says the same as above...i already deleted all files from GEM 6.1 before downloading the new installer then subscribing to new version in steam workshop then applying gemsteaminstaller...nothing happens...i already have latest visual c++ and netframework...all versions of GEM worked like a charm before...NOW: i can't even load rome 2 vanilla anymore, whats going on here???
sorry but this time i am out of any solutions
i strongly recommend a detailed step by step installation guide for all none programmers...it's really hard that even rome 2 vanilla cannot start after steam varified all files...how can this be ??? your new version demands sweetfx settings i had to delete as ya say, so how can this be, if i install GEM 6.1 too, i can run Rome 2, if a deinstall GEM 6.1 i cannot load Rome 2 vanilla...it is really frustating, i lost 3 hours for this and methinks i am not the only one getting these failures
hey mate, thx for replying so fast, i worked it out...here is my log:

it was one ** sweetfx injector file that prevents me from testing and launching, don't know where this injector file comes from, date was from 17. october 2013!!!! seems like this had tricked me so bad...now it is working and i am testing whole day...the only reason i wrote such a bad posting before is, GEM is the real heart of rome 2 pumping the blood in veins, ya know...thx for all your work and patience good sir...whenever ya visit germany, ya get a beer or two, ya have been invited for lifetime
Hi, guys.
I am sure I did everything right, all my drivers are up-to-date, but GEM stills forces Shader 3 here, and 'don't do the magic'. I used to take optional installer because I have Win 8 x64 (not 8.1, 8 Interprise), but there is only one installer now, it says that is Win 8.1 compactible, but just don't work here. There is not log.log file, and my gfx.log is below:
device_description = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680"
vendor_id = 0x10de
device_id = 0x1180
in_database = TRUE
found_vendor_device_ids = FALSE
matched_device_description = "GeForce GTX 680"
final_quality = 4
m_gpu_memory_type_final = 1
vista_or_later = TruE
sixty_four_bit_OS = tRUE
integrated_gpu = fAlSe
uma_64_bit = FAlSE
available.unlimited_video_memory = TRUe
current.unlimited_video_memory = FalsE

Any chance to get a standalone (.pack) file without the installer?
Running the game on my mac, so neither the steam nor the installer works.
Thanks,
Andriy
Don't work for me...
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I've tried every fckng thing u mentioned but it doesn't work for me too... But why??? Btw when I delete gem mod from mod manager, (checked data folder it's gone ok) then when i subscribe again it installs it in a sec how??? 590 mb mod and it downloads in a sec. What am i missing ?
(btw i'm an old gem user and ı know how to install this)
@to all who got problems:
i've had your same issue (SM forced to 3 and GEM not working, no .log file) and even if .NET Framework was the latest, i solved by uninstalling it manually in the Control Panel (you must look for the INSTALLED UPDATE CODE of the last .NET framework on microsoft website) and then i re-installed everything still manually (not via-Microsoft Update)!
Other users solved by installing Visual C++ for Visual Studio 2013 update off the Microsoft site manually.
So,first be sure every old GEM files (overall dxgi.dll) and/or anything like that (such as injector) are removed,
then be sure everything is up to date, and if they already are then try to manually unistall and re-install all .net framework and VC redist!
Hope to help you guys, let us know if it helped!
Hi there! I've been a gem user since a year ago. I've followed all aforementioned steps but my game wouldn't even start. My log like the guy's above :
[00:37:30] Redirecting CreateDevice : successful (width: 1280, height: 1024)
[00:37:30] Couldn't open 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Total War Rome II\SweetFX_settings.txt'... Exiting
I think that some freaking Sweetfx file remains that I cannot find . Taking that into account I accidentally deleted a file d3d9.dll or something like that and now even GEM is activated it wont even start .Rome starts only with vanilla....Could someone tell me the names of the .dll files that have to be deleted that provoke this ?
thanks in advance
P.S. I've downloaded both .NET and Vis c++ updates
to be sure, remove all files, except the datafolder from your rome 2 directory and verify integrity of game cache!
I think you missed the point on my last post, chap. Bloody rude, actually.
Regardless, I cannot get this to download form Steam, Timbuktu or anywhere else now. Can you just post the old files again, please?
Ok, it works now!
For everyone that have x64 systems: Download Visual C++ 2013 version x64 (64bit) AND version x86 (32bit): the game runs at 32bit even if your system is 64bit, so what you need to run GEM is Visual C++ x86!
Any preset already avaliable?
What do you mean? So far there are two download sources and I will add more soon (e.g. ModDB).
Thats a very nice piece of advice. Will add it to the description and technical support as soon as possible!
I think Drama was working on something.
I'm sorry for the noob question , everything works with gemfx 1.0 but i can not choose shadows model 5 , i run with win 7 64 ...
it does not work in win8.1?
Hi, this is all a bit confusing.... this is my first time installing GEM or GEMFX as it's now called. Do I really have to set everything up like laid out in the settings section ? My computer won't handle everything at ultra that's for sure. I'm running the Emperor's Edition and I noticed I don't have "texture filtering" in my graphic options. Either way I tried installing it, but the set up GEM settings section is empty and I'm unsure I actually see a difference in-game. I can see things wen a bit more blury that's for sure (anti-aliasing on) but no decent AA, just the smushy stuff. So I went to turn it off mid-battle and ended up with a black screen... that's when i exited to desktop.
Is there a video tutorial made for this? I'd like to see it in action but the documentation is a bit lacking atm....
many thanks
Badger
many thanks.

This means it is not working, please check out the technical support thread. (as a short cut check out what Alexandre Lange wrote above).
It works with Windows8.1 cause thats the big point of the new release.
You will definitly notice when GEMFX works cause a logo will be displayed. The best thing you can do to get helps is posting your GEMFX.log file. Like for anyone before you I am positive the issue is also related to .Net Framework and c++ vcredists.
