PERFECT INSTALL METHOD PROVIDED BY JO Super detailed install instructions: I hope it is clear enough to help out! What you need: The game files or course. The real sound_fx files found on the internet or anywhere convenient. The repacked Crack from Razor. The episodic1.rar to fix a mission bug in the game Now you should be good to go. You should get 2 ISO images when all your stuff is extracted called DVD 1 and DVD 2. What you have to do is to extract the files inside those ISO?s, use ISObuster or any other iso image program and extract all the files from these 2 iso images in a unique folder somewhere on your hard drive. Do not mount them with alcohol or deamon tools it is a waste of time. Once the extraction of both dvd?s is done inside the same folder on the hard drive, copy the content of this folder into the Temp directory of your Hard drive which is normally this path. C:\WINDOWS\Temp For your knowledge, the minus bar in the path represents your account name on your pc, as you can see the bar is my account name yours could be anything as example below. C:\Documents and Settings\Elvis\Local Settings\Temp If you want to go to the temp folder by clicking and navigating to it, you may have to enable show hidden folders options to get to the folder without typing the path. To do this, you go on tool then folder options a new window will pop up then you click on the view tab. You scroll down just a bit and you are gonna see hidden files and folder and you are just gonna turn on show hidden files and folders. You will now be able to see all the hidden folders on your hard drive and get to that temp folder. The reason why you are doing all of this is that you will not get the stop error message that the Razor installer will give you if you do not have the game files in all the same folder. It just saves aggravation on the install. Once the files are all copied to that folder you can get back to the original folder you extracted all those files too and click and the setup.exe ( the pirate icon) The razor installer will open, it may take some time as it has to install over 15 gb of stuff on your hard drive?it is time to go take a beer, have sex, listen to music, do drugs or surf for more pirate crap. Once the install is over, the razor window will simply go away. Delete the games files in the temp folder they are now worthless? Game is installed, time to fix and crack! Take the real sound_fx file you have downloaded it should be close or just a little bit over 819 mb, copy and paste into the Data folder where you have installed the game on your hard drive which should be this folder C:\Program Files\Empire Total War if you are using windows xp that is? That part is done. You have fixed the sound issue in the game. Now to crack the game. You have to put in the razor crack which is the tricky part of the deal?but it ends up being real simple when you finally understand how it is done. Unrar or unzip Razor?s crack on your hard drive somewhere. Do not unzip/unrar where you have installed your game, it will probably confuse you when you move the files around. Extract the razor crack in your documents folder instead? You should now get a Razor1911 folder after extraction Inside that folder you should have the following: A folder named: config A folder named : Data An executable named: Empire.exe What you need to do is this. First you need to take the Empire.exe executable and put it in the install folder which should be this C:\Program Files\Empire Total War on your hard drive. Then you put the config folder also in that C:\Program Files\Empire Total War folder. Then you go inside the Data folder, copy all those files in there and put them in the Data folder which is located at C:\Program Files\Empire Total War\data. It is going to ask you to overwrite stuff?just say yes. Game is cracked! You should not get those steamapi.dll error message? Now to fix a mission bug in the game: Unzip/Unrar the episodic file somewhere on your hard drive. You will get a folder called episodic_1 Copy this folder. Go to the folder where you have installed the game: C:\Program Files\Empire Total War You need to put this folder here. C:\Program Files\Empire Total War\data\campaigns Again It is going to ask you to overwrite stuff and you just say yes. After doing all of this I went back to the install folder and clicked on the execute and the game popped up. Strangely enough I did not have to have steam on for this to happen. I have tested this with steam on with a bogus account and with steam off and it works. I have not really have play tested the game for bugs since I have just finished the install and this tutorial which I hope will help. I am sure that some other stuff will come up with the game but for now this is the steps to fix what has happened so far. PS: If you get the "d3dx9_40.dll" error, you must update your directx download Enjoy! And please when you have some money buy the darn thing?sacrifice a few beers and burgers and support those guys! I know I will !!!!!! I hope this helps much people, i first also had problems, but there all fixed with following this steps one by one...
