This is the launcher which is the new startup for the mod! It will search for updates automaticly and will update the mod too!
*CONTAINS NEWEST LAUNCHER VERSION*
Big News!
Hello everybody,
The first release has now been released for a while, and there also is a small patch (1.1). We received some questions about the installation. So I figured out how we can make the installation progress for you the easiest! Therefore we are happy to introduce..
Total War: 1942 - Launcher
![launcher pic]()
Current Launcher version: 2.0.3
Launcher Changelog:
2.0.3
- Added button 'Fix preferences issue', which will update the preference file with the max resolution of YOUR monitor. Keep in mind that the max resolution for Rome Total War is 1920x1080, so it wont be higher
- Totally reworked download code. Now you can pause the download. This is the fix for some users experiencing problems after first release download. Now the launcher can take care of that issue!
2.0.2
- Added reinstall button (to completely reinstall the mod!
2.0.0
- Added login system (premium account required at dagovaxgames.com
What does it do?
This launcher was programmed by me, to make a connection with my website, where all updates are saved. When the launcher got launched by you, it will automaticly search for new updates, and install them.
Also, it provides the function to create a shortcut to the desktop, making the old 1942 launch method no longer necessary.
I do not have the mod yet... Do I need to download that first before downloading the launcher?
No, you don't need to download the mod from moddb anymore. If the mod is not installed, it will download version 1.0 from the launcher. After that, it will install newer patches immediately.
How to install this launcher?
Place the launcher inside your Rome: Total War root folder (the folder where the RomeTW.exe is located), and run it as administrator.
I can't figure it out. I need some help
Follow this video tutorial first before contacting us:
Youtube.com
I want patches above 2.0 as well!
Patches including and above 2.0 are not available for standard members. Why have we done that? Because we as team are investing a LOT of time to get this amazing mod working. The only thing you need to do, is to donate us. If you create an account at dagovaxgames.com, you can login when the launcher asks you for it.
Keep in mind that version 2.0 is extra. Some people are whining about our method and donation, but the mod is being bugfixed and reworked constantly and there are a lot of patches coming before 2.0 (which is the release when I finished custom settlements)
Ummm, I think I got a problem here. I installed the mod through your launcher, but when I launch the game it shows me this error:
Script Error in 1942/data/export_descr_unit.txt, at line 118, column 18.
Unrecognized mount type 'liberty'.
Any fix?
I managed to fix it by installing the 1.0 version first and then starting the 1.2 launcher.
Moddb.com
It seems that there was a problem during the extracting progress.
To reinstall the mod:
Open up 'total_war_1942_version.txt'
(located at the same location as where you put the launcher)
Change the version from 1.1 to 0.9
Run the launcher as administrator.
It should install now correctly
:D
It seems there is problem with launcher. The Launcher does not download the mod, instead downloads the latest update because the mod folder was only like 20 MB. Im trying to download the game manually and applying update manually
Yes I know about the problem. One question, do you use steam or not? And have you run the launcher as administrator?
nah, i got the retail game and yes
u could just upload the zip file and i can install it manually
Look under the files section they are all there
Game keeps crashing when you go to start either a campaign or custom battle.Shame this looked good. Followed all instructions , but now i give up.I was playing the steam edition and followed all instructions. Sick of wasting my time.
Your download was interrupted somehow. It didnt install version 1.0. Follow the steps as in the comment from GoldenNooby
Heyyyy so when i download the mod and run it this thing pops up and the closes the game
Script Error in 1942/data/export_descr_unit.txt, at line 118, column 18.
Unrecognized mount type 'liberty'
Any fix?
Yes, also in your case the big mod itself wasnt completed. You need to reinstall the mod (just by deleting the file called: tw_1942_version.txt)
3 more things that might help:
- Close steam
- Run the launcher as administrator
- Don't run anything else then the launcher while installing
Aight will try
Nice
Just wanted to make sure, you will upload the files for any updates as well as just the Launcher yes? I dont use Launcher as I would rather do it by hand.
You will get manual patches until the last patch before 2.0 (Which will be with ingame buildings), but bugfixes will indeed be available before that
Awesome! Loving the mod, works great on steam version!
Hello
When I download the launcher and run it(tried with administrator),it just crashes straight away and Yes I have the launcher in my Rome total war/bi folder.
I tried reinstalling it but it seems to fail everytime
Any advice?
Thanks
Thats right away the problem: You shouldnt put the launcher inside the bi folder, but in the root. So put the launcher in Rome Total War root folder and try again :P
I have the launcher in my root folder(Not the Bi folder,my bad),but it still has a problem running the exe(Problem event CLR20r3).Which is caused by that my pc can't read the files.
Edit:My friend sent me the files and the game is now running,great mod!
Weird.. Can you send a pic with the exact error? I think you are missing some needed windows packages
Edit: You need to have .NET Framework 4.6.1 installed.
Download it here Microsoft.com
yo guys, I need a new creative assembly folder for original rome total war unmoded if its possible. I Messing around with files adding mods editing mods and something is missing and it all went pared shaped. My hard drive dont read disc for some strange reason so I can reinstall it, i'm hoping if I can replace the original creative assembly file it might work.
That we cannot provide legally, the internet is your friend.
hii thanks for response, lucky my bro had original on his lap top and he put in on a usb for me. Its all good now. I got the game on a usb stick so I can try install this mod again and if it goes wrong I can put original files back in. I'm giving the bronze age mod a try 1st
I'm still facing the following problem:
" Script Error in 1942/data/export_descr_unit.txt, at line 118, column 18.
Unrecognized mount type 'liberty'. "
I've tried to re-install as you suggested 4 times.
I also selected both options of disabling or enabling the "preferences" issue.
(Also, I've noticed my Launcher is kinda glitched somehow: Prnt.sc )
Installed the mod through the launcher, however every time I boot it up through the launcher, it only runs vanilla rome: tw
That is weird. You mean when you hit the play button? Can I have your update log?
So I managed to get it to work by reinstalling as it was just installing the updates after 1.0. After this however, the opening image of the russian mobile artillery will pop up, and the game will crash back to desktop immediately.
If you have bad connection, you need to download the latest Launcher.
If it crashes, it should give you an error message. Some pictures might help me to help you better
There is no error message. It simply exits out of the application and the launcher shuts down. I have tried running in admin mode.
Have you followed the video tutorial?
Yes I have.
Can you send me a pm?
Launcher constantly fails to extract the zip files.
Can you send update logs?
I installed the mod through the launcher, it says the newest version is installed. I have the CD version of rome tw.
The mod works, but I can not save the game if I play with some fractions like UDSSR and USA. If I play other fractions saving is possible.
How can I fix this problem?
Each time you start the mod you can play 1 campaign. If you want to start or load another campaign you need to restart the mod. This is because we have running scripts ;)
Hey i keep having a problem in which every time i attempt to install, it tells me than "file extraction has failed" and restarts thinking that its installed
Can you send the contains of the log?
when i try to run it i get
Generic Error:
Unable to find skeleton 'fs_officer_car_axis'

Does this work on Rome: Total war Gold Pack or does it have to be straight up rome total war?
Yes it works for Gold as well :)
okay. Also, are you certain that all the files are on your website where the launcher downloads from? i get maybe 6 or 7 files that it cant find and then the mod crashes
it may also be an extraction error, but heres a list of missing files:
1942/data/models_engine/trucks/m3a1_low.CAS
1942/data/models_engine/trucks/zis5_chinese.CAS
1942/data/models_engine/trucks/hoha_japan.CAS
1942/data/models_engine/ballista/repeating_ballista_lowest.CAS
also
Error in database: culture name not valid
Error loading engine database
DATABASE_TABLE error found:error reading record from file 1942/data/descr_engines.txt
Hi! Try reinstalling the whole mod using the option inside the launcher. That missing items should be in the 1.0 patch.
just gonna say this about paid mods
You're not allowed to ask for money for a mod because it is still CA's property on which the mod is built on.
So if you want to monetize it, you need their permission which is something they won't give to a modder probs.
Hi!
It is not a paid mod. There is only going to be a feature that is only available for premium members. There is no need for you to donate and I am not asking for it either. The choice is for the players and the mod is therefore not a paid mod as anyone can play the fully working version for free :D
My windows smart scan say file is risk
Yes dont worry it is an exexutable programmed by myself :)
I keeping getting errors about files, its due to these around maybe 6 or 7 files that it cant find and then the mod crashes

Dagovax this person is having the exact same issue as i am, are you absolutely certain that those four files are located in the right folder on your server? if they weren't, that would explain why we're having identical issues.
MaliceRising Are you also getting an error when you attempt to install the mod that says "extraction error- will now restart launcher" or something to that effect?
allenzack8
Yes. The files are not located somewhere alone, but they are all zipped packages. And update 1.0 is a huge package so yeah there can be extraction problems. What you can do is download 1.0 manually from moddb, and then run the launcher again. It will skip 1.0 then and will download the smaller updates. :)
My excuses about the extraction problems and I hope that downloading 1.0 manually will fix your problem
Dagovax
okay, will try again. Also, do we need LAA (large adress aware) to run the mod
allenzack8 No it is included in one of the patches
