![]() Empire: Total War is Feral’s Mac conversion of the popular game developed. The new version sports 64-bit support to enable it to work on macOS 10.15 Catalina, and has myriad other under-the-hood improvements to boost performance. One always gave an error message that the Windows Cd was not a valid application while the other always worked oK. Feral Interactive on Monday announced the release of an update to its popular Mac strategy game Empire: Total War. So what exactly is the problem? I have encountered a similar problem before when trying to load Windows from a disk on a new high spec tower which had two DVD players. The internal dvd seems to work with other games: MTW, IMPGlory so is not dammaged. This is odd in that the hardware device manager indicates both the internal dvd drive that gave the problem (a NEC DVDRW ND6500A) and the extenal one that worked (Sony DVDRW Dru-700A) use the same driver( MS. ![]() I called Microsoft's Windows team and they claimed 32-bit games will not work on 64-bit Windows 10, and said I should contact the developer. I tried installing RTW but using a different DVD drive on a usb port to the laptop. Rome: Total War Gold Edition Windows 10 Compatibility I'm planning on installing Windows 10 on my iMac through Boot Camp. The RTW disk did run on the tower machine which also has WINXP pro on it so it must be some specific update of the OS which is causing this. So the problem is something to do with the OS rather than a confilct with other programs. One has no other programs installed ( it is just the bare WinXP pro OS) it didnt recognise the Rome Total War gold edition disk as a valid Win 32 application. I have two copies of the WinXP pro OS on my laptop. Both machines have Nero6 software on them so it is not a conflict with that and it is not a duff RTW disk. The RTW DVD disk does insall Ok on A tower machine running WinXP but my lap top which has a similar spec gives the error message mentioned in the first post.
