No it's not

What do you mean?

I downloaded a corrupt RAR twice (US patch)

[Jack Lusted]

Yes the download from Strategy Informer has become corrupted hence why the link has been removed, the download from Worth Playing works fine.

Was it forces of Sauron at work again?

during installation i got several updates errors. anyone else had the same problems?

[Jack Lusted]

Make sure you have downloaded the correct patch for your version of the game.

[neoiq5719]

i bought it from amazon.co.uk so that needs the uk patch right?

Me too. It returned an error for each of the campaigns when it got to localized.pack

If you have the UK Gold version(where both the original game and expansion came together) of Medieval II: Kingdoms you need the UK Gold patch. If you bought Medieval II: Kingdoms by itself, you will need the European patch.

Hello,

Yesterday I downloaded the Kingdoms Update (European version), after installing the update the game worked.
But, today I visited the website (total war.com) and another (bigger) Kingdoms Update was shown.

So, do I have to uninstall the version from yesterday (if possible) or do I have to install the whole game again and install the bigger update?

Your help is appreciated.

Caesar Minor.

Dear All,
I have a BIG problem. I played MTW2 recently and saved all the turns. Then I installed Kingdoms Update and continued play my prevous one. For safety I have copied save folder in other place. Then my Windows crashed and after reinstalling MTW2 I copied saved files into save folder but now I cannot load games, after the loda begins the load picture changes and main menu opens.
Thanks in advance.

I'm new to Total War but not new to wargaming.I've just installed the kingdoms expansion to MW2 and would like to get the update but don't know which version to download.I know I don't want any of the gold versions.If I lived in Europe,UK or USA it would be obvious but because I live in Australia and bought the games and expansions here,I can't work out which version of the patch to download.
Will someone please guide me on this and tell me where to download it from?
