Mare Apertum Install Guide == How to install Europa Universalis - In Nomine on Windows Vista/7 * Disable UAC (Websearch how to do this) * Disable Data Execution Prevention (DEP) (Here is how it works in Windows 7: Control Panel -> System and Security -> System -> Advanced system settings -> Advanced -> Performance settings -> Data Execution Prevention -> Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only) * Install the game, but do not install it in 'Program Files', choose a non-protected folder like 'C:\Games' * Apply the final patch (Download link: http://www.mediafire.com/?yuswny97z5ud13c) * Make sure that all executables of the game have administrator privileges (Here is how it works in Windows 7: Right-click on eu3.exe -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Run this program as an administrator Right-click on eu3game.exe -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Run this program as an administrator) * Do not activate Window XP compatibility mode Sounds strange but this option does not tend to help games and may actually cause problems. Only use this if you have already done all of the above and the game still doesn't work == How to install the Mare Apertum mod Basically like all other mods for EU3 except: * Make sure that the Europa Universalis III map cache contains the data for this mod. To ensure that you must delete the directory [EU3]\map\cache before you load this mod the first time, and again every time you switch between this mod and other mods or the vanilla game. * The following Europa Universalis III engine settings ([EU3]\settings.txt) are mandatory: language=l_english renderTrees=no simpleWater=yes * Multiplayer is not supported * The 'Mare Apertum' bookmark is the only supported start date. Do not start from any other date. If you do, don't be surprised if your computer explodes and don't write bug reports * You cannot change countries during play. If you try, everything will crash and burn * Do not change gameplay options (i.e. lucky nations, province discovery, difficulty, etc.) * If you change tags (e.g. from Castile to Spain) immediately save and reload, otherwise you might experience broken behavior
