Rome total war тормозит на windows 10

THIS FIX IS FOR PLAYING ROME:TOTAL WAR AND ROME:TOTAL WAR — BARBARIAN INVASION on Windows 10
It seems like a lot of text, but it’s just to cover every nimble-bimble-n00b-step along the way guys <3

1. Compatibility:

— To make RTW work, go to your install-folder for RTW and locate the files: «RomeTW.exe» and «RomeTW-BI.exe».
— Right-click on those and go to «Properties».
— Go to the tab called «Compatibility» and look all the way down to «Change settings for all users».
— Click that.
— Select the box called «Run this program in compatibility mode for:» and select «Windows 7» from the scroll-down menu.
— Also check the box saying «Run as administrator».
— Hit the «apply» button in the bottom-right.
— Press OK on this and the previous «Properties» screen.

2. Preferences:

— For the steam version of RTW (or RTW Gold) go to your steam folder, for example:
«C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Rome Total War Gold»
(On my system I did not have Steam install into the «program files»-folders, but I created a different «games» folder on my C drive.)
— For the Disc-version of RTW, go to your install folder of RTW.

— In that folder, go to the folder called «preferences», so that would be «C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Rome Total War Gold\preferences» (for steam users)
or: «C:\…\…\Rome Total War Gold\preferences» (or whatever, for non-steam users)
In which you will see a .txt file called «preferences.txt»
— In this file, you will need to adjust 2 values:
«STRATEGY_RESOLUTION: «
«BATTLE_RESOLUTION: «

— These have numbers (your RTW in-game resolution)
— Change these numbers to your DESKTOP resolution (in my files both values were set to «1024×768», so I changed them to my actual resolution «1440×900»)
— To know your actual resolution, press right-click on your desktop (wallpaper) and click on «Display Settings».
— At the bottom of that pop-upped screen there’s a link saying «Advanced Display Settings».
— When you press on that, you will immediately see your desktop resolution displayed in a scroll-down menu. Do not change this, but remember these values (for example: 1440×900 on my system).
— These are the values you need to insert in your preferences.txt in your RTW folder/preferences
— So they will look like this (ON MY SYSTEM!! YOUR’S MAY BE DIFFERENT!!):

STRATEGY_RESOLUTION:1440×900
STRATEGY_MAX_RESOLUTION:2048×1536
STRATEGY_32_BIT:TRUE
BATTLE_RESOLUTION:1440×900
BATTLE_MAX_RESOLUTION:2048×1536
BATTLE_32_BIT:TRUE

— The BOLD print is the only thing you should edit!!
— YOU NEED TO DO THIS FOR RTW, RTW:BI AND ALEXANDER SEPARATELY!!

— For your RTW:BI folder go to:
«C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Rome Total War Gold\bi» and look for the folder called «preferences»
— In this folder there is also a .txt file called «preferences.txt» Make the same changes here as you did with your RTW’s «preferences.txt» file before.

— For your Alexander folder go to:
«C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Rome Total War Alexander\alexander» and look for the folder called «preferences»
— In this folder there is also a .txt file called «preferences.txt» Make the same changes as before.

— In all three cases; save the file over the original file (make backups of the originals if you want to, they won’t work on win10 anyways, else you wouldn’t be reading through all this <3)

FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT FRESHLY INSTALLED THE GAME AND HAVE NO PREFERENCES.TXT FILES YET, HERE ARE THE FRESH FILES IN THE SPOILER THINGIES:
Just copy + paste into Notepad and save it to the path as I described above. Name the files «preferences.txt» and nothing else.

RTW

BI

ALEXANDER

3. Steam Version of RTW:

— In your Steam Library, right-click on Tome:Total War and go to «Properties». Then hit the «Launch options» button and simply write down: «-ne» (Without the «»)

4. Disc Version of RTW (Non-Steam):

— Go to your install-folder of RTW and RTW:Alex, whatever this may be.. In the main RTW folder there should be a file called «RomeTW.exe» (about 15MB) and a file called «RomeTW-BI.exe» (also about 15MB, but slightly less than the RomeTW.exe). In the Alexander folder, the file is called «RomeTW-ALX.exe».
— Right-click all three .exe files (one at a time) and click on «Create shortcut». Now move this shortcut to where ever you want to start your RTW from (probably your desktop).
— Now right-click the shortcut and press «Properties».
— In the bar called «Target» you will see something like: «C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Rome Total War Gold\RomeTW.exe» (for me it’s in Steam, because I have the Steam-version of RTW)
But whatever.. you will find your own RTW-installation folder there.
— Now do exactly and precisely this:
1. «C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Rome Total War Gold\RomeTW.exe» — DO NOT CHANGE THIS
2. Behind the link I just wrote down @ 1. write down: » -ne» (WITH the space, WITHOUT the «»)
3. So it should now say @ Target: «C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Rome Total War Gold\RomeTW.exe» -ne
4. Click «OK» at the bottom left of the «Properties» screen.
5. Repeat step 1-4 for both RomeTW-BI.exe and RomeTW-ALX.exe.

UPDATE FOR DISC USERS:

As brought to my attention by Theesir, older game’s Disc-versions may not work at all on Windows10 at the moment, because:

This «guide» should be comprehensive enough.. Hope you all get your versions to work on Windows10!!
If not: Let me know in this topic!

Sidenote: I will

NEVER

help you with getting a non-genuine version of the game to work! For disc-users that have secdrvsys issues, go find a noCD crack somewhere. I will not tell you where you can find these. Remember to repeat step 4 for all the new (cracked) .exe-files.
The game is only like 10euro’s @ Steam and well worth it! Besides, it will save you a lot of trouble (compare step 3 to step 4 for example).
