startpos.esf will not generate

[Stuie]

Is anyone able to generate a new startpos.esf with the current assembly kit? I get an error in BOB when it tries to launch the game to generate it.

Works for me, still getting a issue?

might be this problem:

Known Issue [as of 16/01/2014]:
If the user launches the Assembly Kit through the Tools section of Steam it will generate a file called steam_appid.txt in; C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Total War Rome II\assembly_kit\binaries
If the user then attempts to process a campaign start_pos through BOB it will NOT generate the start_pos.esf file because Rome2 will crash before it is able to start the process.
There is a work around – if the user manually deletes the file steam_appid.txt from the above directory it will work correctly, however if they launch via the Tools menu in Steam the file will be re-generated. This will not harm or affect the users game in any way.

Deleted everything, reinstalled to the same drive TWR2 is on, and now it works. Maybe it didn't like not being on the same drive? Although I swore I had it working previously. Whatever - all good now. Thanks for responding.
