Re: System install for EB Day
If you aren't bothered about multiplayer, avoid Steam like the plague. The non-Steam version works perfectly with no issues whatsoever, and no problems patching.
If you must have multiplayer, then you're stuck with Steam and the half-fixed/unfinished patching that's still being tinkered with as we speak.

Re: System install for EB Day
The Kingdoms 1.5 patch makes the game unplayable for me on my computer (apparently it is a windows 7 thing that causes it). i have spent the last 6 hours trying to make the 1.5 patch work on my computer in preparation for EBII but to no avail. The 1.4 version works fine but not the 1.5.
my question is will it be possible to play EBII on kingdoms 1.4?
Re: System install for EB Day
I'm running Win7 and it patched just fine. Are you using the Steam or non-Steam version, that's the critical thing.Originally Posted by Marcus F
EBII won't work on 1.4, there were all sorts of important changes made with 1.5 that it uses.

Re: System install for EB Day
Its the non - steam user version, i just cant get it to work. i have checked a lot of forms and many pple have had the same issue. i know this isn't the right form but but any help with installing 1.5 would be much appreciated.
been a long time fan of EB and EBII and I really want to play EBII when it is released
Cheers
Re: System install for EB Day
I'm a non-Steam Win7 user. Where is your game installed? Did you commit the cardinal sin of installing it in Program Files? Do you have UAC active?
I didn't install it in Program Files (it's on D:\M2TW\), and I disabled UAC a long time ago. All I did was install M2TW Gold, then Kingdoms, then the patch. Do you have Gold or something else? Did you get the right patch?

Re: System install for EB Day
- No didnt install into program files.
- UAC is disabled
- I have Gold and I downloaded the Kingdoms 1.5 UK patch (I believe it is the correct region)
I have done what you have explained above and i am able to install the kingdoms 1.5 patch but when i go to play a Kingdoms expansion it says, error, i have the wrong disc (and i don't, i have tried both disks. Alot of pple seem to have this issue and i cant figure out why it is happening).
Its weird
Re: System install for EB Day
Go to the M2TW technical help forums at the Org and TWC, read up on similar issues and how they were solved and try those. If still no luck, post to see if somebody will help you. Unfortunately this is a common problem and you will not be able to play EB2 until your system is updated to 1.05.

Re: System install for EB Day
This is probably a stupid question, but how do you select where to install Gold Edition?
I dusted of my old M2:TW CD, but in the install menu I'm never given the option of selecting a location (or even a disk). I goes from "License Agreement" to "Select Features you want to install" to "Press Install to start installation". This is on Windows Vista (SP2).
