HOW TO INSTALL: MANUAL INSTALLATIONREMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE TO PICK: EITHER THE MANUAL INSTALLATION OR THE LAUNCHER.
Launcher guide is below this one.
The following video was made for ModDB, where TDD is no longer available, but aside from the website where you download the mod from, the process is absolutely the same.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
The Dawnless Days must always be the first in the load order. In addition, your game must also be in ENGLISH or else you will risk crashing during battles. Also, turn off your antivirus program if you use Norton, McAfee, Free Antivirus or Window Defender, if you experience any crashes with The Dawnless Days - there might be an interference with Attila's mods.
Step 0: Preparation
- Up-to-date version of Total War: Attila. We cannot guarantee the mod functions on a cracked version.
- All other versions of The Dawnless Days must be removed to avoid any confusion or difficulties.
Step 1: Downloading
- Download the file from NexusMods. Note: there is a 0.01% chance that your download will corrupt if you do anything else. Do not take any risks, do not use the internet with your computer whilst downloading it. Start downloading, and wait. Just to be sure;
- We do not update through Steam due to policy/legality reasons. Any The Dawnless Days you find there is not authentic and should always be avoided! Seriously, you do not want to mess with CA's or any entity's copyright claims on intellectual property.
Step 2: Installing
- Once downloaded, extract the FOUR .pack files and the pictures with your unpacking programs (WinRar, 7z, etc.) from your .rar file to Program Files
(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Total War Attila\data (stop here!). If you are uncertain, go to your desktop, right-click the Steam icon there and
select "open file location" to find out where Steam is on your PC.
- Double-check. Go to your hard drive, follow the path ( Program Files (x86)\Steam\etc. ) and check if The Dawnless Days and its accompanying picture is in Total War Attila\data;
Step 3: Launching to Play
- Open Attila. Press the "Mod Manager" button - you will find the mod there. Tick the box in the top left-hand corner, IT IS DIVIDED IN FOUR PACKS;
- Tick the box "Enable out-of-date mod". Absolutely paramount. It will not work if you have not ticked this box;
- Press play, and have fun with The Dawnless Days!
HOW TO INSTALL: TDD LAUNCHER INSTALLATION
REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE TO PICK: EITHER THE MANUAL INSTALLATION OR THE LAUNCHER.
Step 0: Preparation
- Make sure you know in which hard disk partition are Total War: Attila and Steam installed.
Step 1: Downloading and Installing
- Download the Launcher file from NexusMods. Make sure you choose between the launcher or the manual installation process, otherwise you can mess up with the mod / wait a really long time because you downloaded the same thing.
- Make sure no AntiViruses or Firewall are messing with the TDD Launcher. Make exceptions in the programs if this is the case.
- Start the launcher. Follow the instructions and install.
- MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE INSTALLING THE MOD IN THE SPOT THE LAUNCHER PICKS. This spot HAS to be in the same hard disk partition of TW: Attila and Steam. Change what the launcher picked ONLY if you've installed those in a different spot.
- The launcher will now download and install The Dawnless Days. Give it its due time.
Step 3: Launching to Play
- Once finished, press play on the Launcher, and have fun with The Dawnless Days!
