I've had the same problem as you Timidus, also with the romani. I ran the validation tool and saw i was missing the same files. I downloaded the patch_1 pack and now i'm in 254 CE and (fingers crossed) it's going fine. But i don't have as many changed files though. Do you still have them now?
Anway i hope it works for you as well. If it doesn't i can post my validation file.
