This is the wrong forum, but I'll help you anyway.
First, uninstall the game. Delete the directory (Hard Drive\Program Files\Activision\Rome: Total War). Then follow the following instructions:
Quote:
Alright, go to the start menu, run. Type in "regedit" and click OK.
-Go to HKEY_Local_Machine, open it. -Go to SOFTWARE and open it. -Scroll down the (probably) long list to The Creative Assembly and Total War. Delete both of them.
Then try. If that doesn't work, post again, and I'll see if there's another entry.

Yeah, which means a game file is messed up. I've had the same thing happen after doing some modding. Follow the instructions I listed above and it's almost guaranteed to work. It's almost deleting any record of the game ever existing on your PC

Be EXTREMELY careful with your registry, Roman Juli. It could be fatal if you mess something up .

Oh, I didn't realize that you could play the game alright. You should still probably do what I told you already. Your computer obviously thinks you don't have the patch, even if you do, so something isn't right.
Oh yeah, and don't do ANYTHING to the registry that I haven't listed

You're certainly welcome. Please, next time try to post this in Tech. Help, and use a more... fitting title. I realize you're in distress, but people tend to ignore threads when they don't know what it's about.
Again, glad I could help. Just remember to vote Kaiser (aka Doikie).
Kidding! I'm kidding! *is smacked with banstick*
