Works Pretty Well, With A Few Hiccups

When I first purchased this game, I couldn’t even get through an entire campaign without it freezing and crashing. Now those major problems seem to have been fixed, as it is entirely possible to play through the entire game. However, there are still some issues. When engaging in diplomacy with another nation, the screen to trade technologies often freezes, so even if you switch between the various tabs for military, industrial, and enlightenment technologies, the screen will stay stuck on the industrial or enlightenment technologies, so you can’t select any others. This makes ending certain conflicts very difficult when you can’t see your available technologies to offer up in trade. Also, the game often gets stuck on certain nations when you end your turn and can take upwards of five to ten minutes for it to move past these nations and get back to your turn. The game no longer seems to crash during these situations, but this getting stuck does add up to an immense amount of time when playing a game that can be 200+ turns. All in all it’s a solid game, it’s gotten much more playable over time, and hopefully it’ll continue to improve.

No American Domination Allowed

This game is liiiiiit. It is super big, fun, and a great step up from the last total war game I played, Rome Total War. I really like the graphics, battles, and overall gameplay. But, I cannot dominate the world with the United States! Everytime I capture enough settlements in the Road to Independence mode, it says congratsand then crashes. I would love to keep playing and I only write this review so that something changes. This is a great game and I highly recommend buying it, and this game would be perfect if this issue is fixed.

Developer Response,

Thanks for your purchase of Empire: Total War.
After the completion of this Episode you will see a short movie about the formation of the United States. This indicates the end of the Road to Independence campaign. If the game is crashing at this point, please get in touch directly via support@feralinteractive.com
You should now be able to choose to start a campaign game as the United States by reentering the Road to Independence campaign and choosing United States from the right side of the screen.
We hope that this helps. Please let us know if you require any further assistance.

Game has begun crashing

Game was initially working fine. Finished multiple campaigns with no issues. The game suddenly started crashing whenever a battle was loaded. Everything else works except the main purpose of the game….
I hope they fix this issue soon.

Developer Response,

We are sorry that you are experiencing a problem with the game.
Please contact us directly via support@feralinteractive.com with a description of the problem and we’ll be happy to help. Please include 'App Store Review' in the subject of your email.
Please also attach a support report to help us diagnose any issues: http://support.feralinteractive.com/x/faqs/support_report/

    Just wanted to add my sincere thanks.
    I wonder how big the market actually is for mac gamers, and again mac gamers with top spec iMacs or Mac pros..
    This is great, just hope Atilla gets a Mac release fairly early doors..
    Edit: Hmmm.. Just tried the 4TPY mod and the 'better' campaign camera mod, but neither seem to work having followed the instructions above.. Thing is, the mod creators are (on the whole) not going to be of much help, with getting their mods to work on Mac..

    I can't get Radious total war mod to work either. I'm pretty sure I followed the tutorial though. Might the problem be that I had to make my own user.script.txt file?

    Most of the issues could well have little to do with attempting to get these mods to work on mac and more that the mod creator has not yet updated their work to the latest version.. At the time of writing this post the Emperor Edition is not very old..
    Try following the OP with a mod that clearly states it had been updated for the latest build.
    What I would personally most like to see is Mac versions or workarounds for all the modding tools. If anyone at CA can post any tips on how to say, get PFM to work? I would be over the moon with joy.
    Also are there any plans on releasing the Rome II Assembly Kit for Mac?

    Not sure if it is the mod being out of date completely, as the mods I've tried to get working have all been updated to Empire Edition and none of those worked which is a shame.

    The Radious mod clearly states it has been updated to emperor edition, so that's not the problem. I just hope CA will open the Steam workshop, as they did with Shogun 2, that'll make things a lot easier

    Have to agree, I've tried mods that clearly state updated for Emperor Edition as well.. but nothing..
    I am familiar with installing mods this way from before the mod manager, when I had a PC. So I am pretty sure I am not going wrong anywhere.
    Any update on this issue from an official?
  • edited October 2014
    I've tried multiple mods and so far I haven't got any of them to work. Has anyone figured out a mod that does?

    Have been trying this with Divide et impera 0.96 (which to my knowledge is latest version and compatible with the Emperor edition) with no success. But i heard of people who were able to install the mod, so there should be no reason why it doesnt work on my mac (right???). Had to create the user.script.txt myself with the continuing problem that it wants to make a .rtf file out of the file I saved as a .txt file. But even if i save it as a .txt file rome 2 simple doesnt react and start absolutely normal.
    PLS help
    Just tried starting over the normal .exe in the Total War: Rome 2 folder and now in the main menu of the game it tells me to restart rome 2 to activate a new dlc. Since i havent bought any DLC i think its reffering to the mod i put into data and wrote into user.script.txt. But if i do as asked and restart the game only the same message pops up (never had it before and have blood and gore and greek states dlc on my game). So the mod has been somehow found by the game but its not yet activating in the right way.
    PLS help

    Might be an issue with the user.script.txt... TextEdit wanted to save mine as an .rtf file as well & I'm not sure just renaming the file as a .txt will do the trick..
    I used Pages instead, which was capable of saving the file in .txt format, but again, I still had no luck..
    Saying this, you have said others have succeeded in getting mods to work on their Macs and CA posted this thread so it must be possible..

    I've duplicated the preferences.script.txt file, erased the content and renamed it and It still didn't work
  • edited October 2014
    Well its now worked for me using the latest Divide et Impera...
    Here what made the difference:
    The naming in the user.script.txt is what did it, instead of
    _Divide_et_Impera096.pack;
    (which did not work)
    I did this:
    mod '_Divide_et_Impera096.pack';
    Yes including the word 'mod' at the beginning and including the quotation marks.. The mod loaded without incident straight away after this change to the user.script.txt

    This looks to be exactly it, it looks like CA made a typo, the semicolon should be outside the quotations as in this thread

    A follow-up now that I've actually tried it, instead of the mods not loading, it just force crashes the game at the loading screen for any mod I try to load through the user script file. Next I tried clearing the mods and loading it clean, and now my background is the radius mod, but I don't get any other features. Help?
    edit: If anyone else is still having trouble, remove the quotation marks, solved my issues. Now user script file looks like
    mod Radious_Graphics_Mod.pack;

    Very strange that some of us need to include the quotation marks and others need to remove them.. However I think this solves the issue, maybe a moderator could add this extra bit of info to the OP?

    I removed the quotation marks as well and all the mods started working!

    Hey thanks first of all, especially legofingers, for the tech support. I am already one step nearer.
    I am not sure if my next problem is very computer specific: I am playing on a MacBookPro Retina..... with a flashdrive 120GB. To my rough understanding this means that normal space on this special hard drive is used as working space (RAM?). srry im very bad with computers.:)
    Problem is now the following: I start Rome 2 and instead of loading normal game right away (which indicated i did something wrong with installing the mod) its stuck on the loading screen, leaving me somewhat relieved but also more and more frustrated.
    It doesnt really crash, but after some time it says start volume is almost full and in the end it doesnt react and i have to close it. I have freed 45GB and vanilla worked with 10 GB free so i just dont know wether the loading is still crashing or loading Divide et impera mod 096 really uses up 40 GB of working space. Does anybody else play on a flashdrive? What is more probably the problem? What can i do now?
    Forgot to say i tried leaving out the quotation marks, with no result. Dont know if i have the same problem as u did cramezid.

    I have tried to put in mods on the user script myself but there has been no reaction. When I used mod '_Divide_et_Impera096.pack'; the game quit unexpectedly... any suggestions as to what has gone wrong/how to fix it?

    I was able to activate mods, but only one at a time. I can activate radious mod just fine (crashes here and there) and I wanted to also add in a few other mods, but I can only get the first one loaded to load at all.
    Can more than one mod be activated?
    I tried using the the method
    mod 'name_of_mod.pack';
    but that made my game crash so I used just
    mod name_of_mod.pack
    and it launched fine.

    ModDb and other such sites have the mods. From there just follow the instructions that CA has put up to install the said mod. http://forums.totalwar.com/showthread.php/137170-ROME-II-Mac-version-FAQ?p=1241207&viewfull=1#post1241207

    Thanks, but I am at a loss. I went on MODdb and the download links bring you back to steam workshop. There's also only a few Mods, compared to hundreds in the steam workshop. I just don't understand why Steam would not allow you to download the .pack through the workshop. Anyway if there's any other site recommended for Mac mods for TWR please let me know.
    Appreciate it

    It's a little bit of a pain, but you can get your mods through Steam.
    1) Go to your Steam folder in Application support (see the 1st post on how to get there)
    2) Inside your Steam folder you'll see a folder called: userdata
    3) Open that folder up and you'll see a folder with a number, open it up
    4) Inside that folder you'll see some more folders with names and numbers, open the folder titled: ugc
    5) Inside here you'll see a folder called: referenced
    6) Open that up
    7) Inside you'll now see a series of folders (assuming you've subscribed to more than 1 mod) each named with a string of numbers
    8) Now comes the somewhat tedious part (again depends upon how many mods you've subscribed across every game). Start expanding each folder and inside you'll find another folder called: mods
    9) Inside of each mods folder inside of each numbered folder you need to look for something like this: <filename>.pack
    From here you need to copy the file(s) and follow the steps in the first post (and or mind the quotes in your user.script.txt file. Don't delete these files as these are the actual files that Steam maintains. Simply copy them over.
    On a side note I have no idea what will happen when/if modding gets fixed to work properly from Steam. When that happens you might need to blow away the copies files. Also if Steam updates any of the files keep in mind that you'll need to copy the updated files found in the nested directory I just described again. They won't update on their own until Rome gets fixed to work with Steam on the Mac.
