Mod starts loading screen then crashes.
« on: January 15, 2013, 06:26:24 PM »
I don't really know if I have got the mod correctly installed or anything but when I click on the shortcut in the WHTW folder with the Rome total war disc in, the small loading box starts then the screen goes black and the thing crashes. Any help please. I probably haven't set it up correctly as i'm not too good at that side of things but I really want to play this awesome mod. Any help will be much appreciated, thanks.

Are you definitely patched to RTW 1.5? And can I see a screenshot of when you right-click on the shortcut then hit properties?

Okay, in the "Target" line, try replacing "RTW_MP" with "Rome - Total War" so it actually matches the file path where RTW is.

Thanks for your help, I also changed some stuff in the line below so that it matched up and now the mod works well although there is a lack of sound. Again, thanks for helping me and also creating this mod - it is excellent.
