[QUOTE=HawkDreams;14572232]With the impending release of Windows 10, Rome has an issue with starting after being installed clean.

Thanks.

I just joined, loaded RTW on win 10 exactly the way you described. Works great. This is my first time with the game, without your instructions or this forum I wouldnt have spent the time to mess with it.

Thank You.

I can I have some help with this because everything I have tried hasn't worked

Hello there.

I'm having similar sounding issues getting my original 1.0 CD copy of Rome to work.

I upgraded to Windows 10 a few months back, and then decided to re-install my Rome. Once installed, I had very similar issues to those on this page (game not loading at all, requesting I run as admin etc).

I performed a factory restore and went back to windows 8, and it worked! I was overjoyed. HOWEVER, following a large number of Windows updates, the game no longer works. I am still using Windows 8, but am getting exactly the same problem as I was getting with 10. I have tried compatibility settings, re-installing and others, but am having no luck.

Can anyone suggest anything to get it working again?

Thanks

Right I've managed to get the campaign working, but when I launch into a battle it crashes. I've also noticed that after crashing, if I go back into the game, it has reset my control setting back to default, however it does not appear to change anything else (graphics settings etc). Any idea why this is and/or how to solve the issue?

I never seen so stupidity and unlogical s...t in the total war. All was working before I played windows 7/8. But after upgrade to the 10 then started something idiotic bugs.
PS. For example I can't generate sprites to Gaul and egypt factions BUT i can generate to other all factions. WTF?

I chose Romans Julii, I chose one specific unit which have gauls, I have been wrote up in EDU who owns this unit and in DMB wrote texture of this unit but game all time gives the same bug. I hate the 10th!!
