upgrades/patches to TW

**Dienekes'** · 02-16-2009, 00:05

Hi all,

I'm fairly new to the forum but been playing TW for a while. I'm not upto speed on all the patches/updates etc on the TW series. Can anyone let me know what they are/do and the best way to get them.

I just tried downloading an upgrade for Varangian guard with not much success.

Thanks

Hello Dienekes,

Welcome to the forums.

Which totalwar game are you playing? There are patches for each. You can find some here: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/local_links.php?catid=1 and M2TW/Kingdom ones here: http://www.atomicgamer.com/directory.php?id=2723

For Rome: Total War, the latest patch is 1.5, for the expansion Barbarian Invasion, it is 1.6.
For Medieval 2: Total War, the latest patch is 1.3, for the expansion Kingdoms, it is 1.4.

For earlier games, I can not help you.

When patching from 1.0, for Rome: Total war, go to 1.3 and then 1.5. I you have barbarian invasion, you can go from 1.3 to 1.6.

When patching from 1.0 for Medieval 2: Total War, patch to 1.2, skip 1.1. 1.3 is merely a multiplayer compatiblity patch with people who use Kingdoms. If you have Kingdoms however, install 1.4.

Hope that helped.

For the 1.2 patch for Medieval 2: Total War, simply search for it on google, for the 1.4 patch for Kingdoms, go here: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=101923

A little correction to Pevergreens post. Kingdoms is version 1.4. You can update it to 1.5. Don't blame Pevergreen. He just turned 18!

Oh really? Silly me! I thought the patch that was released was a 1.4 update!

Hello,

Yes, expansionpacks increase the versioncounter as well. That can be confusing.

Cheers

That seems like file corruption, redownloading the file from a different source may be your best best.

You refer to the game as "MTW" yet you're talking about the v1.1 and v1.2 patches. Is this M2TW you're referring to here (as I suspect) or is it MTW (the first one)?
