Darthmod RTW doesn't work!!! HELP!!!

[aaron31]

I downloaded the Darthmod for rome: total war, i can see the different unit on the icon but when i go to the battlefield they are in the classic vanilla mod, plus when i try to start some new campaign like the "europe 270b.c." it let me choose the faction but wheni try to start the game come back to the main menu... what can i do?

Get rid of that crappy mod.

If you want a real mod, try this one. It was so good it got Lusted hired at CA.

i did it and i have the same problem

Browse into the rome folder, (Program Files (x86)\steam\SteamApps\common\Rome Total War Gold) open the preferences folder and make sure you have a preferences. Open with notepad and set both campaign and battle resolutions (both lines for each) to the same as your desktop. If it is widescreen, make sure USE_WIDESCREEN is set to TRUE, save and exit the notepad,

Next, go back to main folder, right click Rome.exe, and tick run as administrator and set compatibility to XP,

If still a problem, go to C:\Windows\System32, scroll down to the Ds and copy, not move, but copy the d3dx9 files, go back to your Rome main folder, and paste them in as copies. I dont remember right off which are required, but these are tiny files and the extras wont hurt.

If still no go, manually delete your entire Rome folder and verify your Rome through Steam to replace all files and follow the steps above BEFORE running the game the first time again.

Id you have lost your preferences file, once you run as admin it should generate a new one. If it does not, let me know and I will copy the contents of mine so you can manually make one.

Nothing to do, no i have to cancel everything and fix it to play to the vanilla mod at least
