And when it's 3dvd, people will ask 7DVD5

Extra: It's not personal critic to prudislav, just general stuff

Extra2: I dont think it's gonna fit 3 unless removing something, i dont have the game right now maybe gatosky will do something

[prudislav]

It's 40GB without DLCs, thanks for the language support list though, steam stuff doesnt have regkeys but might come in handy.

Check system reqs BTW


btw... did i see it right it's gonna be unlocked in 22 minutes :O

[Fabioddq]

Is not possible fit on 3xDVD5. Use srep makes a smaller difference.

Is possible if you resample biks.

Extracting and rebuilding(Don't do anything else) any game file will work.I was also worked with GTA SA sound files and files now able to compressing

[fedeo]

Excellent work, tested on win7 64bit. thank you!

not unlocked that's how long he has left for the pre-load to finish downloading.

On its release day next week, a single, worldwide unlock time of zero hours US Pacific Time on the September 3 has been announced. That’s the regional equivalent of 00:00 PDT/ 03:00 EDT / 08:00 BST / 09:00 CET / 17:00 AEST.
Digital customers can begin pre-loading via Steam tonight starting right now to load most of the files, with only the day one content patch including Pontus, an additional playable faction, needing to be downloaded once the game is live. ( that's the 10GB preload).
Rome 2 will be region-locked in some territories, so if you are buying a copy from overseas please check with your retailer if you will be able to activate it your home country.

[rarezodiac]

I Found ISDone.dll error. How I fix it? I Use Windows 7 32bit.

[Kenkoyka9]

Hello, what's the compression time on this one? Is it quick? or like the Lost Planet 3 compression with LZMA because that took awhile to finish even with i7-4770k.

[sentinelks]

4xdvd5 no no ... resample the bik ... I hate to have + 2 dvd

[senseman]

thanks for conversion dude nice jobhttp://www.swngz.com/images/smilies/smilies%20v2/bandit.gif

@EMPIRE where are you :D

[zyo]

[senseman]

archive is fine..redownload it,use 7zip

[Fabioddq]

Hello, what's the compression time on this one? Is it quick? or like the Lost Planet 3 compression with LZMA because that took awhile to finish even with i7-4770k.

I use a smaller compression on Data1.cab and Data2.cab, others data.cab's not have any compression.

Use strong compression on this game makes no difference.

[Fabioddq]

4xdvd5 no no ... resample the bik ... I hate to have + 2 dvd

I dont like shit quality on videos. Only guy who can do resample with optimal quality is BAMsE. So if he wants to do or if he has time to do, i will create a new conversion for this.

[The-revenge]

First, thanks for the conversion.
I wanna spent two word about number DVD question. The last games, and games will come soon, have size about 20-25 gb. It's normal that this game, with compression, fit in 4 DVD. But 4 (ore more..) DVD is a lot of DVD and create a problem with rigid case. I think the guys that make conversion should look at conversion with DVD9 : DVD9 are a little bit more expensive than DVD5, but anyway cheap. Using DVD9, game that have size 20-25 gb will fit in 2 DVD9, with more compression or 1 language. I think it's simply to do that, only change the size of cab in FreeArc option.
It's strange that I 've never seen a conversion using DVD9.

In the case of this conversion the total size is 14,2 gb, that fit in 2*DVD9 but it's needed to reacreate the camb, because DVD 1 size + DVD 2 size don't fit in a single DVD9.

Sorry for my english.

[Fabioddq]

Yeah, is a good idea. But in some countries, the DVD9 it is still very expensive (like here in Brazil).

Anyway, sometimes its possible burn on DVD9, just put more Data.cabs on DVD.
In this conversion will not fit i think, (Data1.cab + Data2.cab), but Data3.cab + Data4.cab will fit on DVD9. So looks like this: 2xDVD5 + 1xDVD9.
But always makes isos and test if not have any issue.

You can also rearrange the files on Data*.lst's to fit on 2xDVD9. ;)

[prudislav]

Yeah, is a good idea. But in some countries, the DVD9 it is still very expensive (like here in Brazil).
same here DVD5 is 5 times cheaper than DVD9

thanks...can I rearrange the files as I want, or there are restriction?
Can I delete some languages and add precomp+srep, the conversion work anyway?

[Fabioddq]

Yes, you can but add strong compression will makes a smaller difference for this game. Is waste of time.

If you rearrange the files, maybe you will have issue when you install the game, depends of the Data.cabs. Because the parameters on Setup.ini:

[ExtractSettings]
FreeArcFile1=Data1.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;
FreeArcFile2=Data2.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:2;
FreeArcFile3=Data3.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:3;
FreeArcFile4=Data4.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:4;


Im not sure anyway, if you has any issue, tell me and i make a new Setup.exe for you according to your Data.cabs for DVD9s.

[Fabioddq]

Update 1 (1.0.2.9) was released. No different in the size so still working.

No changelog yet.

[JMAGS_FF]

[Fabioddq]

So, no problem. I dont have this error anyway.

[hard worker]

Easy way to get 3XDVD5 - install BlackBox repacked game (which is 1DVD9) and then do this conversion...

[sambomba]

It's Ok. I don't have any problems .
Thanks fabio :)
you can do installer HD textures of MK9? please

[Fabioddq]

Unfortunately I dont have HD videos.
Original videos are fine for me anyway.

Cheers.

could be a problem related to the prerequisites?
are installed at the beginning or the end?

[pakrat2k2]

could be a problem related to the prerequisites?
are installed at the beginning or the end?

the pre-requisites are compiled into the game, and are most likely set to be run from {app} so it would be at the end of install? Just a guess as ive not done the conversion yet.

wondering why 'and a strange error that I never had.
also because 'at the end of the game works perfectly having already' done, and I would not maybe some versions have different prerequisites.
my version and 'original downloaded from steam

[Fabioddq]

Has nothing to do with redist i think. Here works great when i install in english or portuguese brazil. Not have any issue. Try install in english to see.

Cheers.

then the problem lies in the installer code?

[Fabioddq]

I have no idea. I will try make another Setup.exe soon. You try install in another language?

[tanatos]

I have no idea. I will try make another Setup.exe soon. You try install in another language?

I confirm that everything is perfect in English, in Italian but no.
a really strange error.

[Fabioddq]

So, the script has some bug on this language file or in the code. Impossible to know for now. :(

try this, test my SRIV conversion with italian installation, if not had this bug, so maybe, i did something wrong before compile.

Thanks.

[Fabioddq]

already 'done in the past, almost always use your conversions and all work perfectly

Ok, so i believe that i do something wrong before compile. :o

I will check and post my results. Thanks for all feedback! :D

nope no issues installing in Italian, no errors at all. Something definitely on his end causing the error.

[tanatos]

weird 'cause I tried on three different computers and with Italian and another language that I do not remember me error, would not that be windows 8.1
I tried it on windows English. and installation in the Italian game and it works.
Italian windows, installing game in Italian gives me out of range.
What is unusual

[trumasta]

I installed the game and then update 1 and update 2. Ran the compression afterwards, finished successfully but the first dvd is over sized. What can I do?

[Fabioddq]

Ill wait for yoyr reply thanks.

Well, here the size with update 2 is 4.29GB. I reduce the size of background just for sure. I will update attachment soon.

Updated to v1.1:

- Updated to latest version of CIU v2;
- Changed the sizes of slideshow 1080p to 720p;
- Tested with update 2;
- Updated info page;

[noobkid]

Thanks, tested & worked on xp sp3.

[Fox22743]

Thanks, works great.

[BACKSTABBER]

Can someone help me with the following error when trying to install this conversion?

As soon as I click the final install button and the game starts its installation from conversion I get this error and install doesn't continue. The video plays in the background as long as I don't press OK.

Tried fixing it like downloading isdone.dll from web and placing in windows directory but nothing happens. Conversion finished without errors.

Also a very important factor is that I don't know what appears to be Russian.

Win 8 x64
100+GB of free space
16GB RAM Mem

Any help appreciated.
