Enjoy

Moderator edit: Some advice on installation - to install the patch, unzip it and then run the .exe. It will ask you for a directory - choose or make a temporary one, because this is for the extracting the patch installing (it is not asking for your M2TW directory). When you have extracted the installer, run the setup file and it will automatically locate your M2TW directory and update it.[/i]

And for comic relief while you wait for the download, read all 12 pages of the "Where is the £$%ing patch" thread on the official totalwarforum.

Top priority when I get home

For some of us working, would it be possible for someone to copy paste the content of the blog? As the darn security roles prohibit certain pages at work

Thanks

[madchoochter]

The Sega Europe link for the english version is very slow - 14k/s. You might want to try another site unless it speeds up a bit.

[JFC]

WELL that was fun.

Install Patch. > Load. > Custom Battle. > Crash to Desktop.

New Game. > Crash to Desktop.

Lovely.

[peri]

Im having crashes too and according to the total war board others are as well.

[Barry Fitzgerald]

Oh dear....ditto here...lots of crashes...damn....

Not a happy bunny...what on earth is going on over at CA?

[Soulitaire]

patchy goodness before a weekend without a computer. *silent sob*

[maestro]

OOooooohhh. Must remote desktop to my home PC and get it installed for when I get home


-edit- Excellent Download speed from C&VG - over 1Mb/s !!!

[Lusted]

for those who have run the unpacker and are experiencing crashes, i have a suggestion:

READ THE UNPACKER README:

- NOTE: Due to a timestamp check, the following unpacked files will
cause the game to crash and must be deleted before the game is
launched:

data\descr_geography_new.txt
data\descr_geography_new.db

There are readmes for a reason.

[madchoochter]

Oh joy. Download just stopped at 42.5%! Getting timeouts from med2.sega-europe.com now. Think I'll wait until CA wake up.
