Since this game is getting a little dated I decided to post my cry for help here... Hopefully someone has an easy fix?
The problem is as follows. I have the discs for Rome: Total War and installed the game onto my PC without a problem. However, when I start the game the copyright screen (with the hoplites in the background) displays as normal but then the game minimizes itself and closes.
I tinkered with the compatibility options and did not have any luck, the same thing would keep happening.
Next, I installed the Barbarian Invasion expansion, and that game, too, does the same thing. Minimizes and closes.
I then decided to patch the game... And I can't find the things anywhere! Not on the Total War site, not on Sega's support site, strategy informer (has them, BUT, the link leads to some weird pdf viewer download?), so... I believe I'm stuck.
Any help would be appreciated. =) My specs are in my sig...
