Installation

----------------------------

Step 1: (Recommended)Have a clean installed of Napoleon Total War

Step 2: (Required if you followed step 1)Run your Napoleon Total War game one time after doing a fresh install in order to get the games files set up,

then once you have booted the vanilla game you may close and continue.

Step 3: Direct your installation to your Napoloen Total War game folder

- Default Location: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Napoleon Total War"

- How to find Location on Steam: going to your steam game, right click on the name of the game,

then hover over the "manage" tab, then click on "browse local files".

- The end result regardless of your personal install location should end with "\Napoleon Total War"

Step 4: When or if you are prompted to overwrite, do so.

- (Should something go wrong with the install process, in order to reinstall you first need to run the uninstaller which is found in the same folder as your launcher .exe)

- (Should you find that your game is crashing upon pressing launch, go to the folder "\Napoleon Total War\data\ACWHC\UI" within your game files. Inside the UI folder rename the file hc_boot.pack -> boot.pack. Now your should be good, however, this has been fixed with the updated download of 1.8 as of 11/29/2020)

Step 5: For any tech support, it is recommended you go to the discord (link available in the launcher) where we will be willing to sit down with you and help.
