hi everybody, i've a problem with the gold edition of rome (from gamersgate), last patch istalled......the game crash on "initialing maplogic" and say the there is an exception file ".\discfile.ccp, line 425, description: could not open the file : map/default.map"......i have window 7 but i selected to use the game with window xp service pack 3......i think it's a patch problem.....any suggestions? thanks

I'd do a complete reinstall: uninstall the game, and then manually delete the game directory - this is important. Reinstall Rome:Complete - choose a new directory like c:\games\rome instead of the suggested path. Then apply the 2.32 patch over Rome:Complete (that is, so that it overwrites the older files in the Rome directory).

the vanilla game is ok, but with mods there is a runtime error like "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error"...i've seen there is a sticky post with the dowload page for an update of the c++ library, but the problem still remain.....

That's a new one on me and I'm not really sure what to suggest; this happens with any mod?

i've tried 2 mod, but i think that is better to ask in their forum, maybe they require some specific action....anyway the vanilla game is ok
