Hi,
I have an old CD copy of Rome Total War and trying to run it on my Windows 10 laptop. It installs fine but doesn't run. I tried creating the preferences folder where i installed the game and added the text to it from here
https://forums.totalwar.com/discussion/160589/issues-when-trying-to-launch-rome-total-war-on-windows-10-workaround-provided#latestdidn't work.
I tried running in compatibility mode as adminstrator and in Windows XP Service Pack 2. Didn't work.

Can anyone help me get it running?

0 · Disagree AgreeThanks for responding. I did both....text document is named "preferences" and preferences folder is in the RTW folder containing the app file. Doesn't work. When i double click the RomeTW app, i get the "Do you want to allow this app from an unknown publisher to make changes to your device?" Then it shows "RomeTW.exe" I click "Yes" and the dialog disappears and nothing happens after that. Any other suggestions?

The folder containing the preferences file and the game exe
The system properties screen (showing your computer's specs)
The folder containing the preferences file

When you double click the RTW exe app, it ought to just start right away, instead of asking you if you would like it to make changes.

0 · Disagree AgreeThere is something out on the web somewhere that details the issue and what you can try to do to get around it. I don't recall where though.
