Broken Crescent 2: RoPG (Game thread)

[phonicsmonkey]

are there any patches I am forgetting, and WHAT does your medieval cfg and bc cfg files say???

hey bud, did you read my pm? I thought I'd found a solution to this...I deleted it already or I would forward it again, but essentially it was about installing your game somewhere other than your programs folder. I read in a thread in the EB forum that installing the game in your programs folder can cause UAC issues in Vista. On my Vista laptop I have the game installed on a separate partition and hotseat saves load up just fine..

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'm not exactly sure where to put it besides "programs"...

I could put it under "windows" and see what that does. And if thats the case, instead of a reinstall I could just move all the files into a "games" folder under "windows" and put all the files there and see if it runs.

[phonicsmonkey]

yeah, that's the idea - you install it in another directory, a new one like 'C:/Games' or 'C:/Phonicmonkeyisanidiot' or whatever you like

I definitely wouldn't put it in the Windows folder - god only knows what problems that might cause!

I'm not enough of a techie to know whether simply copying the files across would have the same effect as re-installing (are there registry entries which refer back to the original directory? plus you'd have to change the target line in your shortcut...)

But as silly as it sounds (and remember we're talking about Microsoft here!), apparently the UAC settings in Vista for folders under the C:/Programs directory are different - which has caused problems for EB modders in editing and exchanging files with each other. That's what led me to think this might be a fix for you.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Ok. Anything is worth a shot.

And I'll name it C:/Phonicsmonkeyisagenius in honour of you if it works.

If it doesn't work, I will kidnap you and dangle you over a pit of poisonous snakes until you successfully unscramble a 5x5 Rubik's Cube, while wearing a blindfold and a prom dress. Or perhaps something more creative.

How do you know I'm not doing that right now?

Hi guys srry to interrupt in this post, but I tried moving manually and well it still doesn't work, Having a similar problem as ATPG. I hope his does work. Also does anybody here know why my M2 version says its 1.02 even when I have the gold edition patched to 1.05 installed?. I tried installing the 1.03 but it says its already installed .

Hope we can get our duel started ASTP .

Welcome to the Org decimator22!

Well ATPG, I suppose the only option left to test this solution if manually moving the installation doesn't work is to try a full uninstall / reinstall, but this time point the installer somewhere other than the Programs folder (NOT the Windows folder, make a new one).

As far as your problem goes decimator22, I'm sorry but I don't know anything about the gold edition, but maybe a forum search in the Citadel will yield an answer?

[Ferret]

I have it installed in Programme Files and it works fine.

[_Tristan_]

Mine is in a different directory, Like PM said...

[phonicsmonkey]

I have it installed in Programme Files and it works fine.

Maybe ATPG's build comes with different default UAC settings?

I don't know, I'm just a monkey...

[decimator22]

[Askthepizzaguy]

I officially designate Galain_Ironhide as my substitute player until such time as I can get my computer to accept non_kingdoms_gold saves.

Unless Galain wants out. And whenever he is ready for his turn, he should message me to get details on my turn.

[barcamartin]

I guess I could sub the Seljuks until we find a replacement. My turn as Khwarezm is up right after, so it won't be much of a hassle. Besides, we're allied. :)

[Galain_Ironhide]

Sorry Atpg and everyone else. I pm'd Tristan just yesterday about this. I downloaded the mod Deus Lo Vult on the weekend to have a look and it ended up giving me a rather large error (CA_LIBS it was called) that meant I couldn't load m2tw anymore. So I had to uninstall everything and start again - much like you had to go through (OK so I only had m2tw die on me - not my whole computer ).

I've managed to fully reinstall and patch m2tw & Kingdoms. Plus I managed to get Deus Lo Vult to work (played it for a short while tonight - It is fully sick! Definately worth a look - mind you it is a turtlers paradise). The big casualty was Broken Crescent which I have to redownload. unforunately that is going to take time for me with work comitments and family. Effectively I will have to be out of the game until I get organised again.

I have passed on my password to Tristan via pm. Funny thing was, I told Tristan that Atpg could be my sub!

Oh and Rosahh, that was a lot of spoilers dude

[rossahh]

Naughty boy!
