Packs

[Heir of the Middle-Earth]

Hey i downloaded BOTET multiple times but it won't launch, despite i followed the install instructions exactly, my system.log says

15:03:14.460 [system.rpt] [always] CPU: SSE2

Chaos has doomed the world!

i looked to my files, and saw that all my packs are missing, so if someone could help me out and send me the packs(not the entire game) i would be very grateful.

just try re downloading and installing without doing anything else on you PC
no games no text file nothing but downloading and installing

[Heir of the Middle-Earth]

Always use 7zip to extract the files:

I use it, still my packs folder is empty.

[Jivaro]

If you are refering to the /Medieval II Total War/mods/BOTET/packs folder, is supposed to be empty, nothing to do your ctds.
Follow this installation instructions video:

oh really? then i don't know what's the problem...

[Heir of the Middle-Earth]

Maybe it's becouse i have windows 32bit and the 4gb patch is for windows 64bit?

wath the windows version is doesn't matter
it matters how much RAM you have
how many do you have?

[Heir of the Middle-Earth]

4gb

[♔atthias♔]

the patch will not will not do much then
and it also explains why BOTET doesn't work
it uses due its better models so much more RAM that my limited knowledge says me you don't have enough RAM
but I can be wrong so I will let have the experts the final say on this

[Jivaro]

I'm no expert, but the Medieval 2 engine has a 2gb RAM limitation, the step 5 on Moddb of the install instructions allows the use of 4gb, so that's not the problem.
Maybe this can help you:
