So i don't think there is any problem with my laptop as my other games seem to work fine on it without any hitches.

Please note that this thread is purely a user-based effort. Those running RTW purchased from Steam do not need to worry about patching. The guide below is intended to help those trying to prepare their game to install Alexander, OR to install Patch 1.5 for online play. But it always crashes at the loading screen before I can even get a look at the battle/campaign map.Īnd I received the same results with RTW:BI. RTW 1.3 & 1.5 Patches + Alexander Expansion Install Issues. I tried reloading the campaign once again with the same results & then I tried with different factions, Historical Battles & even Custom Battles. I went to the Single Player Menu->Campaign Map-> Choose the Brutii faction.Īnd then the loading screen came, the bar became half full& then the game crashed with the warning:- ' Rome Total War has stopped working.' There was no problem with the installation.Īnd then I decided to get on RTW & play a brutii campaign. Alternatively if resolutions are correct, for steam, right click Rome, select properties, on. First fix is go into your main Rome folder, into preferences, open preferences.txt and scroll down finding both strategy and battle resolutions and make sure they are set to match your desktop resolution. I've been a player of RTW for the last 5-6 years & when my previous RTW:BI CD got lost, I brought a new one through Amazon.Īnd then after 2 months (I was busy for some time), I installed it on my 7 Months old Laptop(Windows 8.1).
