Regarding RTR 6.2

[General4Hire]

Hey guys...was hoping someone could answer a quick question for me...

I have RTW 1.5 and BI 1.6 installed on my computer. I want to download RTR 6.2 (the newest one) and it says that I must install that onto a patched 1.2 version of RTW.

This is my question...If i go and repatch version 1.5 to 1.2 so that I can download RTR 6.2, will that effect my 1.6 install onto BI?

Thanks

nevermind...

have since figured the whole thing out...

as for anyone else who might be curious in the near future: You cannot install RTR 6.2 or 6.0 gold unless you have a CLEAN version of RTW1.2 on your computer, no BI. If you have patched BI or RTW beyond a clean slate 1.2, you would need to delete ALL rtw files from you computer (completely uninstall) and then reinstall RTW, patch it to 1.2, forget about BI and go install RTR version you want.

For me, it's kinda too late, I'm 50 years into my Saxon Campaign

certainly not going to just uninstall heh

RTR is well worth installing. But of course, you should finish your campaign, I never liked leaving campaigns unfinished either.

Also, there's 6.3 version of RTR, so you should install it also. I can't yet, it makes old save games unusable and I'm in the middle of the campaign also. But the word is it fixes a number of things.

I actually had a problem with that Saxon campaign, i mean it was going great (kept getting better and better, I like BI and will play several campaigns on it before MTW2) ..the problem was that I installed both 1.6 and 1.5 patches...turned out that can cause CTD at times. Did it once out of nowhere and that was it, i uninstalled and will reinstall, no bigge.

This is the thing: I wanna download RTR 6.0 gold (the newest apparently) but apparently it only works with the 1.2 patch of RTW

I don't want to start playing it only to have the same problems we had 8 months ago with the game....

can anyone clarify if there's a problem with the load/save bug on rtr 6.0 gold?

sorry, won't let me edit...

basically what i want to know is, what's better, rtw1.5 or rtr6.0 gold? because I don't want to deal with load/save/siege issues if I don't have to ya know?

Yes, there's still the save/reload bug in RTR 6.0 gold - as it is built on RTW 1.2. To be honest, that bug never bothered me much - the strategic AI is so feeble anyway, I did not notice it.

RTR 6.0 is far better than RTW 1.5 IMO. I love the more authentic unit line ups and the slower, longer lasting battles. However, RTR 7.0 will be built on BI, so if you have that expansion you could wait.

Personally, I have three versions of RTW on my hard disk - RTR, BI and EB.
