Year limit fix

[Luke1212]

i recently downloaded the patchit software pack to make the game not stop at the year 1452 but when i run it the error message i get is

Unable to open the file Late.cpg
in the directory \Program Files\Total War\Medieval - Total War\SaveGames
Access is denied.


TEST NOT SUCCESSFUL

1) I have renamed the save file to Late.cpg
2) I am using the Late_era_patch file

Thanks in advance
:help:

If you start a NEW game, you can set the end date easily without having to use batch files:

Go to this file:

C:\Program Files\Total War\Medieval - Total War\campmap\startpos


Then add the last line below (in bold) to your game file (EARLY, HIGH, LATE):


SetStartDate:: 1087
SetPeriod:: EARLY
SetEarlyPeriodStartDate:: 1087
SetHighPeriodStartDate:: 1205
SetLatePeriodStartDate:: 1321
SetGameEndDate:: 1600

When I tried putting this in all it did was make it so I cant choose anything past the difficulty setting, after that the options just disappear. HELP!!.. . . . I dont even wanna play the game with that stupid time limit.

Your PM box is full ~;)

Just remove what you added to the file (so it is the way it was before you added the extra lines).

I just don't understand why your game won't load. My game works prefectly with the additional info in it.

Do you have VI installed?

Vi??

[Darkranger]

Oh the explantion. no I dont have that.

I think we have our answer :book:

I would strongly suggest getting the VI expansion - it's very cheap now and includes a ton of new stuff, including the fact that you will need it to play most of the mods here.

Carry on... :charge:

VI stands for Viking Invasion, sorry :)
I think it is needed to use the year limit fix, as it is used only in the expansion by CA.
