THIS FIX IS FOR PLAYING ROME:TOTAL WAR AND ROME:TOTAL WAR - BARBARIAN INVASION on Windows 10 I think what was missing was copying the dx9 libraries into the game folder and maybe the NVIDIA max prerender setting. Two of these games used 'InstallShield' to install, and for me, this is where it goes wrong, ie, the dialogue box asking for disc 2, although on the gaming PC, it wouldn't see either of the discs.It finally worked thanks to HazardHawk's guide on Steam Community: I have also had this problem since with Caesar IV and Stronghold 2 (the latter not being a particularly 'new' game).

You really shouldn't have to upgrade cdrom/dvdrom drives for games to play - the only mention of spec for this game with the dvd rom drive was the continously transfer rate of 1200Kb per second - all of my drives can/could achieve this yet I still had the problem. I have just received a Sony VAIO laptop (AR21S) - retailing at ВЈ1999.99 - I experienced problems with this game on this also - now, in my mind, I should not have to go and buy 'another' dvd rom drive (because now I'd most likely want to get an external that I could plug into the laptop) to go with the spanky new laptop.Дў. However, where I'd disagree would be on two points.ДЎ.

I took out my Plextor drive which had never experienced any of these problems in the past, and was able to both install and play the game with no problems.

With my gaming PC, I did exactly that, went out and bought a new DVD Rom drive from PC World to the tune of about ВЈ30 - effectively making the cost of the game ВЈ65 for me

If anyone does get to the bottom of this I would be interested to hear back, in addition if I discover anything I'll post back. It seems as if the installer might well have problems - being that it just crashes, perhaps we should all investigate in this direction instead of faulty discs?ДЄnyway, I post this only to share in your pain and also offer a solution which I dont think had been posted yet, I hope it helps some of you play this incredibly 'pretty' game.ДЄs we are all aware the game only mentions that the DVD-Rom drive must have a 1200Kb sustainable transfer rate, being that most drives these days report their transfer speeds in MB I dont believe this (in my case) to be the issue.

What is frustrating is that I cant really return this to Play.Com for it to be exchanged, they test all returned software, so apart from the period of time it'll take, they might have a setup which it works on problem free (like mine at work), alternatively, they might not, in which case they'd send out another copy, which again, might have exactly the same problems. This is a *very* frustrating issue, I think in my case at least I have proven that my discs are 'ok', as I've been able to install it at work problem free (Philips dvd-writer), and able to explore it at home on the laptop (Sony VAIO AR21S). The installation continued and I am able to play the game. At the prompt for disc two I clicked on 'Browse' and selected the folder 'MED2' on my desktop and clicked ok. I then rebooted the laptop, placed disc one back in and choose 'Install', this progressed exceptionally quickly because it hadn't removed any of the files from the first attempt (they actually go into the install directory rather than a 'Temp' directory, although the 'Installer' files do go into a 'Temp' directory. I then tried exploring disc two, I could see it in 'My Computer', I created a folder on my desktop called 'MED2' and copied all of the files from disc two into the folder - this worked. I tried the discs on my laptop, the first disc was recognised, auto-played and starting installing, when the prompt for the second disc appeared and disc two was placed in the drive, nothing happened, it just timed out and gave the 'Not responding' message, I was subsequently unable to 'End Task' this program, which seems to appear as '_ISnn.exe' where nn is a random number generated by the installer. I tried the discs on my PC at work, the game installed fine with none of the above issues.Д¤. I tried via 'My Computer' and again nothing, the label of the disc didn't even appear.ДЈ. Tried to install the game on my 'gaming' PC - nothing happened when putting disc one, or disc two into my DVD-Rom drive. Ordered the game from Play.Com - it arrived swiftly, to the tune of ВЈ29.99Дў. I experienced the same problems with this game also - here's my story.ДЎ.
