So you've got EB 1.2, you enjoy it, it works fine, but you can't get it to run with steam. Vista and 7 may structure the directories and the installation differently. Also, because I'm doing this on XP, following these instructions to a T will probably only work on XP. So my target/path is going to look different to yours. By the way I'm doing this on Windows XP Pro: 64 Bit Edition, and I have installed RTW and all my mods into a directory that I specified myself as explained here. I'm going to assume that you already have a working build of EB installed and ready to go. This may take a while, but I'm confident that it can help most people get both regular Europa Barbarorum and the Alexander version running in steam.īefore we get started. I've got a way that should work for those of you who are like me and just installed everything the conventional way. But I've only tried it with the Alexander expantion, so I'm not 100% sure. "C:\Program Files\Steam\steam.exe" -applaunch 4760 -show_err -nm -mod:EB Now right click your EB shortcut (or any, it doesnt really matter) and paste this over what is written in target. "C:\Program Files\Steam\steam.exe" -applaunch 4760īut yours may be different, dont use mine. Under target it should say something like: Right click this and click on properties. In Steam, make a desktop shortcut for RTW Gold vanilla.
Normally if you had a disk version of the game merely clicking on the EB shortcut that is installed would work, but it targets itself at the TrivialScript, which in turn targets Rome.exe, which with Steam will not work. Firstoff, download EB, and install it into your C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\rome total war gold as you have probably have guessed. I bought the Alexander version of steam (since I forgot to get the real one ) and figured this out a little while ago. It seams people are having trouble with this, so I thought I would clear it up.
