Windows 10 install guide

[Searry]

I decided to create this guide as many have problems with Windows 10. I don't guarantee this will work, but at least it should work for those who cannot get the cd-version working in any way.

1. buy and install the Steam version of Alexander
2. copy the new folder to the ROOT of your C:\ or SSD(it helps with stability) the folder is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common or where-ever you install your Steam games
3. follow the installation guide, install to your new Rome Total War Alexander folder where you just installed the game. REMEMBER TO INSTALL 3.1 AS IT HELPS WITH CRASHES
4. open the launcher and set your preferences with the editor, they are mostly right, but you have to select Alexander formations otherwise some troops go weird all over the map
5. launch the game with RS2_ALEX.bat select any faction you want
6. the game should start
7. enjoy

Any positive or negative reports on this method?

Any suggestions for how to do it with a cd version of Rome with BI. I cant get the game to start from that

I had the same problems, until I re-installed Windows 8.1. Now, I have Windows 10 and 8.1 installed and can play Rome I /BI and Alex without any problems on 8.1. while using Window 10 for other work.
If you install Windows 8.1 in addition to Windows 10, I can give you some info to make the game playable.
Good luck.
