OK, I met Baryonyx in the foyer tonight. Our next minor challenge is to get him patched to version 1.02, as he is currently version 1.00.

Baryonyx:

Read the instructions below before you download the 1.02 patch from here. This version of the patch should work for Shogun: Total War, Warlord Edition, bought in the USA.

- Download the file to your computer by clicking on the [Save] button that pops up when you click on the link, above.



I recommend just saving it to your Desktop so you can find it easily after it downloads. To do this, click on the Desktop button on the right side of the screen that pops up after you hit the [Save] button. Then, click the [Save] button on that screen (see below).



An icon that looks like the Shogun Total War game icon will now be on your Desktop. Doubleclick on it to run the patch install program. A screen will pop up that looks like this:



Click on the [Run] button to start the 1.02 patch installation.

A message box will pop up, saying you are about to upgrade your Shogun installation to version 1.02. Click [OK].

This screen should then pop up:



Click on the [Unzip] button. A message will appear asking you to select your language. Choose the default - English, and click [OK]. A setup installation program will run. You've seen these kinds of things before.

Accept the licensing terms and advance to the next screen, which should look like this:



This is the most important step. You must locate your Shogun Total War game folder on your computer (the same place where your internet.cfg file was) and make sure that path shows where I've marked "!!!!!" If you install the patch to the wrong place, it will not work!

Click on the [Browse] button and find your Shogun Total War game folder. Mine is located at C:\Program Files\Total War\Shogun - Total War- Warlord Edition, which is the default location to which the game installs if you didn't change the path when you installed it. This might be where yours is too, but not necessarily.

When you are sure it is pointing at the right spot, click [Next].

The installation program will proceed to install the patch. You'll need to click [Next] a few more times, and then click [Finish].

Once you have completed the install of the patch, launch the game and look at the red menu screen, in the upper left corner where I showed you tonight. If that says 1.02, you've successfully patched your game. If it still says 1.00, run the install program again and make sure you have selected your STW game folder as the target for the patch installation.

Good luck. Post here and let me know how it goes. I look forward to playing your first MP games with you soon.
