It seems like a lot of text, but it’s just to cover every nimble-bimble-n00b-step along the way guys <31. Compatibility:
— To make RTW work, go to your install-folder for RTW and locate the files: «RomeTW.exe» and «RomeTW-BI.exe».
— Right-click on those and go to «Properties».
— Go to the tab called «Compatibility» and look all the way down to «Change settings for all users».
— Click that.
— Select the box called «Run this program in compatibility mode for:» and select «Windows 7» from the scroll-down menu.
— Also check the box saying «Run as administrator».
— Hit the «apply» button in the bottom-right.
— Press OK on this and the previous «Properties» screen.2. Preferences:
— For the steam version of RTW (or RTW Gold) go to your steam folder, for example:
«C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Rome Total War Gold»
(On my system I did not have Steam install into the «program files»-folders, but I created a different «games» folder on my C drive.)
— For the Disc-version of RTW, go to your install folder of RTW.

— In that folder, go to the folder called «preferences», so that would be «C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Rome Total War Gold\preferences» (for steam users)
or: «C:\…\…\Rome Total War Gold\preferences» (or whatever, for non-steam users)
In which you will see a .txt file called «preferences.txt»
— In this file, you will need to adjust 2 values:
«STRATEGY_RESOLUTION: «
«BATTLE_RESOLUTION: «

— These have numbers (your RTW in-game resolution)
— Change these numbers to your DESKTOP resolution (in my files both values were set to «1024×768», so I changed them to my actual resolution «1440×900»)
— To know your actual resolution, press right-click on your desktop (wallpaper) and click on «Display Settings».
— At the bottom of that pop-upped screen there’s a link saying «Advanced Display Settings».
— When you press on that, you will immediately see your desktop resolution displayed in a scroll-down menu. Do not change this, but remember these values (for example: 1440×900 on my system).
— These are the values you need to insert in your preferences.txt in your RTW folder/preferences
— So they will look like this (ON MY SYSTEM!! YOUR’S MAY BE DIFFERENT!!):

STRATEGY_RESOLUTION:1440×900
STRATEGY_MAX_RESOLUTION:2048×1536
STRATEGY_32_BIT:TRUE
BATTLE_RESOLUTION:1440×900
BATTLE_MAX_RESOLUTION:2048×1536
BATTLE_32_BIT:TRUE

— The BOLD print is the only thing you should edit!!
— YOU NEED TO DO THIS FOR RTW, RTW:BI AND ALEXANDER SEPARATELY!!

— For your RTW:BI folder go to:
«C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Rome Total War Gold\bi» and look for the folder called «preferences»
— In this folder there is also a .txt file called «preferences.txt» Make the same changes here as you did with your RTW’s «preferences.txt» file before.

— For your Alexander folder go to:
«C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Rome Total War Alexander\alexander» and look for the folder called «preferences»
— In this folder there is also a .txt file called «preferences.txt» Make the same changes as before.

— In all three cases; save the file over the original file (make backups of the originals if you want to, they won’t work on win10 anyways, else you wouldn’t be reading through all this <3)

FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT FRESHLY INSTALLED THE GAME AND HAVE NO PREFERENCES.TXT FILES YET, HERE ARE THE FRESH FILES IN THE SPOILER THINGIES:
Just copy + paste into Notepad and save it to the path as I described above. Name the files «preferences.txt» and nothing else.

RTW

BI

ALEXANDER

3. Steam Version of RTW:
— In your Steam Library, right-click on Tome:Total War and go to «Properties». Then hit the «Launch options» button and simply write down: «-ne» (Without the «»)4. Disc Version of RTW (Non-Steam):
— Go to your install-folder of RTW and RTW:Alex, whatever this may be.. In the main RTW folder there should be a file called «RomeTW.exe» (about 15MB) and a file called «RomeTW-BI.exe» (also about 15MB, but slightly less than the RomeTW.exe). In the Alexander folder, the file is called «RomeTW-ALX.exe».
— Right-click all three .exe files (one at a time) and click on «Create shortcut». Now move this shortcut to where ever you want to start your RTW from (probably your desktop).
— Now right-click the shortcut and press «Properties».
— In the bar called «Target» you will see something like: «C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Rome Total War Gold\RomeTW.exe» (for me it’s in Steam, because I have the Steam-version of RTW)
But whatever.. you will find your own RTW-installation folder there.
— Now do exactly and precisely this:
1. «C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Rome Total War Gold\RomeTW.exe» — DO NOT CHANGE THIS
2. Behind the link I just wrote down @ 1. write down: » -ne» (WITH the space, WITHOUT the «»)
3. So it should now say @ Target: «C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Rome Total War Gold\RomeTW.exe» -ne
4. Click «OK» at the bottom left of the «Properties» screen.
5. Repeat step 1-4 for both RomeTW-BI.exe and RomeTW-ALX.exe.UPDATE FOR DISC USERS: As brought to my attention by Theesir, older game’s Disc-versions may not work at all on Windows10 at the moment, because:

This «guide» should be comprehensive enough.. Hope you all get your versions to work on Windows10!!
If not: Let me know in this topic!

Sidenote: I will

NEVER help you with getting a non-genuine version of the game to work! For disc-users that have secdrvsys issues, go find a noCD crack somewhere. I will not tell you where you can find these. Remember to repeat step 4 for all the new (cracked) .exe-files.
The game is only like 10euro’s @ Steam and well worth it! Besides, it will save you a lot of trouble (compare step 3 to step 4 for example).

good guide, someone sticky this for when i upgrade!

I did all this! It helped a little, but now the game flashes full screen then I’m back to desktop like nothing happened.

From retail disk, using crack, not on Steam.

Please Help!

Adding the -ne and using the crack. Before doing those things, the game wouldn’t start at all. Now, it flashes for a split second and then goes away again.

Skizzy, so currently I am running off of the disc. I have Rome Total war Gold. Of course it is not working and I have tried everything I could find online.

I am willing to go to steam if that will work. But, I’d only do it if I can continue my saved campaign. Will I be able to move to steam, copy my saved file to the steam/new saved files folder and be able to run Rome Total War? Thanks for all your time on this topic!

I’m having issues running RTW Gold (without Alexander) on steam, I’ve bought it a while ago and i just now wanted to start another playtrough. I’m running windows 10, i tried setting the compability mode to windows 7 and running both RomeTW.exe and RomeTW-BI.exe as administrator, yet all i’m getting is a black screen for a few seconds before it closes without any sort of error (even when using show_err)

Also since i’ve never been able to successfully start the game i don’t yet have the preferences.txt

-ne didn’t end up working for me, it didn’t generate a preferences.txt.

I did manage to ask a friend for the .txt and after changing the resolution to be the same as my desktop things are working perfectly.
Huge thanks for answering and having this guide here, i really don’t know how i would have made my game work without it.

I have did every thing you have said but I cannot get BI to work RTW and alex are working fine and I am using steam btw
I have also tried a pc reboot and btw my log file is showing nothing
EDIT can you also send me a working BI preferences.txt just in case I have screwed something up
greetings atthias

Hey Atthias.
The most common thing that could have gone wrong is the editing of your bi version of preferences.txt
I will include a complete BI preferences.txt as it is setup on my system in a spoiler-thingy below.
This will roughly be the location of your bi preferences.txt:
C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Rome Total War Gold\bi\preferences

You will want to check certain values before blindly trying to open BI with these preferences though.
Things like your camera settings, unit sizes etc..
Oh and make a backup in case something goes horribly awry.
