well how it worked for me is:

1. the full install of the razor release.. so if it asks for disk2_1 for the second time point it manually to disk2_2 until the installer dissapears..

2. the proper legit retail sounds pack. Just overwrite it all.

3. the files that JBeckman provided (awesome work!). Overwrite it all. Then copy the razor .exe.

link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/88jl93


And thats about it.. all sounds.. minimal crashes..and fully playable road to independence.. (well i think)..


I did as above and also found I dont even need the Razor exe file to play the game as the one Jbeckman provided work fine.


JBeckman wrote:
The EXE in the archive works without copying over Razors cracked file?

Shouldn't work but I used both (Testing and such.) and might have packed the wrong one accidentally.
(I renamed and switched between them quite a bit to see that Razors cracked version didn't affect the game in any way so there's a large chance of something like that happening as those archives were made rather quickly albeit I'm certain I got all the modified files compared to the original versions in the SIM archives.)

EDIT: Semi-fixed, edited that post with a link to the first patch instead, can't do much else for now without totally messing up the post but the second patch shouldn't actually be needed as the first patch should include all modified and updated files aside from the sound_fx pack file due to it's size whereas the second patch includes just about everything aside from the pack archives.
(Which is this link by the way http://www.sendspace.com/file/jd5chd )


So... in short...

1 - unpack razor´s release
2 - copy sound file
3 - extract jbeckman´s files (empire total war.rar or Test.rar?)
4 - copy razor crack?

The empire total war.rar seems to be the correct one. Test.rar's file for fixing the fog problem in Quebec and Montreal seems to not have been updated.

Do you know that Razor's installer is messed up?

Pretty sure its needed. Try the original, you will just get an error.

I ran the game with jbeckman´s files only. Weird.... isn´t "Empire.exe" from jbeckman supposed to be the original steam exe?

Have u used the updated files that JBeckman posted Sin317? when i was playing without them, i had ridiculous amounts of money! Started a new game with the updates and things seem a lot better now, i am actually struggling instead of having more money than i can spend.

thats probably why

anyway, gonna finish the RTI campaign (im almost done with "United States" anyway). Alltho the money thing wasn't present in normal "open" campaign (afaik). Do the files affect any other such issues ?

Well, I bought it today too - still using Razor's release though. Haven't even opened it yet.

Heh...might bring it back - Razors with jbeckman's files are working fine for me so far. Plus, I really don't like being dependent on Steam for anything

Both archives that I uploaded should work the same way, I just named them a bit funny.

Size difference is because the first archive I uploaded is supposed to only contain the files that differ between retail and the files on the disc whereas the second file is a bit more extreme and includes everything aside from the pack files though it shouldn't be needed but I uploaded it as a test as some people reported problems and crashes yet it didn't solve the problem, unfortunately.

Install the game and make sure it's complete with no missing files, apply my little "patch" (Either version though it shouldn't matter.) and then use Razors EXE file to get rid of the Steam dependency.

Hopefully a working loader method will be created so that I can use that along with the upcoming patch to make the content 100% identical to the retail versions.
(In case using Razors cracked EXE messes with something but I haven't had any problems with it myself.)

Indeed I'm fairly certain that it is but it was worth mentioning, game itself has a few bugs though so that might be what's causing these problems.

Hopefully the patch will fix the most severe issues, only had a crash so far but I'm not that far into the game and still playing around with the little "Road to independence" campaign.

EDIT: Compared them in Winmerge just because, there's one difference in all those 17MB of code so yeah they're identical.

As stated earlier, that's marsh land. Shame it isn't more clear tho.
When cannonballs bounce off it it shows a watery splash. Also, when they clear the deployment zone and start moving up the hill they're running at normal speed again.

@jack9911: Look for etw_sounds_sfx.pack on TPB. Use it to replace the sounds_sfx.pack file in your ETW folder.
