How To Install Europa Barbarorum On Steam

Hey guys, I made a new guide the other day, this video is for Europa Barbarorum. The the mod is amazing and you can play it online too, without effecting your standard Rome total war. [video=youtube_share;4S92ZAPFHqk] Let me know what you think. I might also make a video to show people how to get the steam version of RTW from their old disk version. Advanced Uninstaller PRO will remove Europa Barbarorum 1.1. After uninstalling Europa Barbarorum 1.1, Advanced Uninstaller PRO will ask you to run a cleanup. Click Next to proceed with the cleanup. All the items of Europa Barbarorum 1.1 which have been left behind will be detected and you will be able to delete them.

As requested I post this guide I wrote for another thread as a thread of its own - however, it\'s somewhat modified by now, if not extended. Please take the time to read through the various notes list just below BEFORE reading the Guide, as not everything may apply, or may be required for each individual user. (Note1 for instance deals with such kind of information).

At all times, remember that this thread is for keeping the guide as sharp and to-the-point and complete as possible: it is not intended for individual cases, but the general case as a whole. If you discover you need help at some stage, or run into trouble, or find bugs or other thechnical issues you experience: please take the time and effort to read two more threads: and: (it\'s a sticky in this forum). Note: step 1, 2 and 3 are optional, provided that you have a clean, that is unmodified copy of RTW, patched to 1.5. In other words: you have a version 1.5 of RTW that contains neither any traces of other mods, nor any modifications of your own.

In which case step 4 refers to your clean RTW 1.5 build Note 2: if you use Windows Vista you may experience certain errors due to the security model Vista uses to protect your PC from possible threats. One feature of the \'UAC\' causes Windows Vista to override RTW (among other software) to store its preferences.txt file inside the AppData folder, which is a subfolder of your User Account.

This may not affect RTW, but it does appear to prevent the so-called \'modfoldered\' mods from running correctly, since they work with a separate preferences.txt file. \'Modfoldered\' means that the so-called architecture, or structure of the mod is designed/created to make the mod work from its own, separate \'mod\' folder, rather than overwriting the basic RTW file structures. This means that you can run multiple modfoldered mods on the basis of one RTW install; and that you can run the basic RTW from the same location to boot. As you probably guessed correctly by now, EB is fully modfoldered and therefore requires the possibility of generating, maintaining and reading its preferences from its own set of folders. Unfortunately the UAC prevents RTW from generating the file in the correct location, and more importantly: it appears to fail to point RTW to the modified location.

There are two ways to circumvent this issue: 1) Conform yourself to the security model: don\'t install softwar such as games in the C: Program Files directory, or any of its subdirectories. The correct root folder for any softwar that wishes to use/store settings from/to a separate file always begins with the adress of your User Account. Therefore the left-most part of your install destination should then read \'C: Users [Your Account Name]\', with [Your Account Name] being the name of your account.
