Hello,As an avid Rome total war player more precisely Roma Surrectum player I need Roma Surrectum to work properly with Rome Total war on Windows 10. My issues stem from the fact that I have the CD version of the game that dates back to 2004 when the game was released.

It is my understanding that a lot of people have this version still.So far I have not been able to get the game to work with windows 10. I have tried all the solutions offered but none worked. At a certain point I checked my computers event logs and noticed so odd errors whenever I would load up Rome Total War.Logs:Event ID 7000The SecDrv service failed to start due to the following error:This driver has been blocked from loadingEvent ID 1060The description for Event ID 1060 from source Application Popup cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.The following information was included with the event:??C:WINDOWSSysWow64driversSECDRV.SYSthe message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message tableEvent ID 7000The SecDrv service failed to start due to the following error:This driver has been blocked from loadingIf you look up this Secdrv.sys driver you will learn that it is present in Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 but not Windows 10.

This file with another.DLL is responsible for copy protection on these CD's.It's the fact that Windows 10 doesn't come with SECDRV.SYS driver, and the one that comes with the game is a 32-bit driver that isn't signed and won't work. This driver is part of the copy protection mechanism on games.The driver, secdrv.sys, is used by games which use Macrovision SafeDisc. Without the driver, games with SafeDisc protection would be unable to play on Windows, so this just not just apply to Rome Total War but a lot of other games.So as of now anyone who wants to use the CD version from 2004 will be unable to.Steam versions is another story.If you have the steam version of Rome Total War you can still play it because it is a digital version and it does not check any disc copy protection.

But you may still have some issues.Here are some solutions.Problem 1: Game does not load up at all.Solution: The preferences folder in the main Rome Total War directory is not present. Go ahead and right click and create a folder called 'preferences'. Then create a text file called 'preferences'Copy and paste the following text into it.I put into the file 'AAQuality: AAOFF so that you will not get the error 'Cannot detect directx9'. Has what they call a work around, but for me it doesn't work. Maybe we can hope for a real patch from CA and RTW. The game installs ok just will not run.I am having the same problems as you my old friend. I will stick with my 2nd system and win 7 yes buddy you got it.I have my second work station next to my main one and I have windows 8.1 installed on to it and enjoying Roma Surrectum 2.6 to its fullest.Most painless way to enjoy it.Hopefully Microsoft resolves this or C.A.

HiThanks for your reply.I have tried everything I can with my limited expertise but, sadly, nothing works. It is clearly an issue that is affecting a great many people judging by comments on the Net. I am no longer able to play a great game and this leaves a bitter taste in themouth.

It is surely an issue that could/should be addressed by Microsoft. Clearly, the will is not there. If there was a competitive market, I would not be using Microsoft and deeply regret downloading Windows 10.Once again, thank you for your reply.

Once again thank you for your reply.Unfortunately, I am still left with a tortuous cycle of DirectX 9 needs installing (it is installed) and DirectX is not compatible with my system. Clearly, it will cost far more to get an expert to deal with the issue than the game actually cost.No doubt, at some point in the future someone at Windows will take the time to find out what has caused the problem and address it. Until then, Rome: Total War is in my metaphorical bin and I am not a happy camper.Kind Regards. I beg to differ that this problem is not a Windows 10 issue. I am also experiencing this problem.

Prior to the upgrade to 1511 this game and one other ran beautifully. After the update they refuse to run. This suggests that the Windows 10 1511 updateIS the problem! I make my living as an engineer, and one of our axioms is that if something is working fine before you make a change, and then doesn't work after that change, then the change is the obvious cause of the problem. The likelihood that it isentirely a problem coincidental in time with the upgrade is so remote that it doesn't deserve mentioning.' Waxing lyrical,' so to speak, about the preponderance of skewed perceptions and how the web facilitates gripes may be true, but that doesn't detract from the fact that there is something in the update that rendered these programs useless.

Therefore, theproblem is indeed a Windows 10 issue and like many others I believe it can and should be addressed. Disregarding your users concerns with virtual eye rolling in your posts is not solving the problem or endearing you to your users. I suggest you take theseconcerns seriously and do your best to address them with what information is provided because IT IS a Win 10 problem.How am I sure of all this?

My system has gone through 3 upgrades to Ver 1511. Each time I experience issues running several programs afterwards and to resolve the problem I take the last resort route and restore my hard drive to the original store boughtversion of Windows 10 Pro - 64 bit. Each time afterwards my system and all the programs run beautifully until 1511 installs, then all heck breaks loose. I kept thinking that there was something in the upgrade that got corrupted, but after the third timethat 1511 installed and I experienced the same issues it was obvious to the most casual observer that the 1511 update WAS the problem. Rather than do yet another restore and then experience the same problem again in a couple weeks, I'm trying to resolve theproblems this time.

Like many others, I turn to this forum for help but am completely disappointed in the demonstrated lack of concern in your responses as well as refusing to acknowledge your wonderful upgrade has introduced a significant bug into your product.Okay, I know I haven't resolved the original issue, but if I do discover anything I will certainly respond to this post with the solution. I am finished 'waxing lyrical' for now. Can I give you a hug, BossDweeb? This is the best explanation about DirectX (locations and use) that I've run across online.I was able to find all of the DirectX 9, 10 and 11 files that you mentioned as well as the two files named D3D12.dll in the Windows subdirectories. I'm assuming that there are no d3dx12 files, is that correct?The thing that I'm stumped about is that Dxdiag shows the DirectX version as 11.2. I saw somewhere that the WDDM version for the display adapter has to be 2.0 for DirectX 12 and mine shows 1.3.

Is this something that can be updated through a driver updatefor the display adapter?Thanks for illuminating some of this mystical information for me.' I'm travelin' down the road,I'm flirtin' with disaster.I've got the pedal to the floor,My life is running faster.'

Thanks for the reply, BossDweeb.Any ideas on the WDDM 2.0? Everything that I keep running across says that Win10 has 2.0 but dxdiag mocks me with version 1.3. I'm thinking that my wimpy little laptop card can't handle 2.0 so that's why it's stuck on 1.3 but I'm not sure if that's how itworks or not. You are right about it being early stages still for DX12. There's not a whole lot of information that I've seen out there so far. I probably won't play anything that uses 12 anytime soon (if ever) but I'd like to make sure that everything isworking as it should be.
