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

    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.

    Are you guys running the boxed retail versions or downloaded versions? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but the readme does say it's only for the relevant boxed retail version of M2TW Kingdoms.

    I'm at work and so haven't tried installing the European version on my retail copy yet.

    After downloading this update can you just install it or do you have to uninstall Kingdoms / M2TW first.
    Does it matter if you have already unpacked the M2TW / Kingdom files prior to updating.

    Default Re: Kingdoms Update Released

    If no version of the patch is working for you and al are returning that error, all I can suggest is to reinstall M2TW and Kingdoms and try again.

    Fair enough, 'dude', but you're not the only person posting here.

    As Lusted has suggested, try the old uninstall/reinstall and see if that helps.

    Good luck!

    Windows XP Pro, all updates/patches installed. I'm going to uninstall the entire shooting gallery (M2, M2: Kingdoms) and attempt the patch again. Wish me luck.

    No problem here:

    - i have M2TW + Kingdoms (bought seperately, and not online), all patched
    - i have unpacked everything and did some minor adjustments
    (some user-created bug resolvers, e.g. the stone forts or kalmar union fixes)
    - i downloaded european version patch
    - i have Vista

    Everything works fine: just run setup.exe in the .rar file

    Just started a Brittania campaign with the Welsh, reinforcements seem
    to work!

    Thanks a lot for the Kingdoms update I'm glad it's finally patched

    As to what-if, all such thinking is nothing more than simple mental excersises, to see how many details you can come up, but, history is forged by unforseen events, thus, making a what-if impossible.
