STW and MI servers working fine

[rbeat100]

If u have had problems in the past logging on, that may have been to the servers being down, I know the server for the original shogun was down for a while. Its now working again which means both servers are working fine.

So use them http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

grrrrrrrrrrr sunday nite most nites stw rules forever

[rspete]

I'm still having trouble logging on. Any advice?

[rbeat100]

What problem do u have?

Make sure u have registered fine.

If it says logging on without doing anything, just go out and keep trying, usually by the third time i get in.

Hmmmm. Why can't I play the original Shogun: TotalWar when MI is still installed, I mean when I put the original disk 1 in and then load up the original Shogun it says it can't locate the disk or soemthing, the disks arent corrupt though, hmmm can someone give me a solution?

Thanks

Soratoti.

I have both the original shogun and ME installed, and I can play both of them fine....

Well, i think its a joke to have 2 seperate servers. As i understand it, u can change the internet.cfg file so that people with the original game can log onto the ME server. But u can only see shogun games. U just have to change the port number.

As the community is so small, it seems daft to devide it in 2.

Well, you can try it yourself. Go into the shogun directory, and find the internet.cfg file. Open it with notepad.

The shogun server is on port 8793.

The ME server is on port 8794.

So, just change it for the 1 u want.

But, the problem is u need a valid CD key for the server u are joining.

i.e 1 key for shogun server, 1 key for the ME server.

so many problems http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif



People with ME should have the option of hosting original shogun games too......

But, none of this will ever happen.....

[TenkiSoratoti]

ME do you mean MI?

[Ithaskar Fëarindel]

Yes Sora ME = MI http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I've just been on the MI server and had some good games, some 2v2's and 1v1's. I think 12 peeps at one point (I know - WOWWWWWWWWWW) http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRG i just downloaded patch 1.12 for stw then to my horror i loaded it up and weird things hapned like mongol units disguised as nodachi on the unit selection screen, truly odd. I decided to load up MI and then it wouldnt load it says please insert corect disc so now i have to go through the process of uninstalling everything and reinstalling it all, unless theres a way of uninstalling patch 1.12?

[Ithaskar Fëarindel]

I would try re-installing the MI patch. If that doesn't work then yes uninstall and re-install the game.

Incidentally, if you want to play STW, MI and MTW you must have the games installed seperately, even though MI is an "add-on". If you do full install everytime, you have a few GB lost.

[TenkiSoratoti]

Seems all is well.

[TenkiSoratoti]

Hmmmm i still cant play STW when MI is installed, it keeps saying cannot detect disk when the stw disk is in there, and when i uninstall MI, stw works.

Whats is this damn problem?

[Ithaskar Fëarindel]

Sora make sure you have STW installed twice.

When you install MI it overwrites the version of STW you add it on to - meaning you can no longer play STW with that version. You must then install STW again to a different folder if you want to play STW. Make sure you patch the right versions too And also, you will need to put all the maps in both versions of the game.

Literally, treat the two as seperate games; STW and MI.

[TenkiSoratoti]

Hmmmm well i dont like uninstalling stw's now because when i do my account details never work when i reinstall.

Ok ill wipe the slate clean and try again this is giving me such a headache,

[TenkiSoratoti]

Ok OK i got it to work, mision accomplished now all i need is someone in the lobby with me lol.

Guess ill have to wait till sunday

Oh forogt to say thanks Ithaskar Fëarindel for the help cause it worked happy happy happy happy.
