Update 2 Released!

[Nebuchadnezzar]

People, you may want to edit a few of the turn based gunpowder ancillaries (explosives, roger bacon, meister eckchart, albertus magnus) so as to be available to governors after the "gunpowder discovered" event. For some reason CA forgot to update them after changing the event date so at least one can never occur.

or you can set it back to pre 1.2

Edit: What was I thinking? Corrected the explosives ancillary

[FactionHeir]

Actually all three named ones you listed as they require buildings that can only be built after gunpowder is discovered. Good catch btw. Should note though that this only affects new, not old campaigns (i.e. those from 1.0 or 1.01) whose event dates among other data does not get updated to 1.02.

the last part (modifying packs 1-4) should take a long time.

The only thing I can guess at is that installing 1.1 first corrupted your patching process.

Might be worth a try doing the reinstallation thing, this time not applying 1.1...

Whithout 1.1?how can I do this?the 1.2 requires previus versions...Any sagestions?Please can you be more detailed?Another isue:I started historical battles the cannons just don't work!!!

You have to install 1.0 which is the basic retail version of the game that you get when you first install it from disc. Then you simply apply the 1.2 patch, which includes all previous fixes for the game (i.e. 1.1) in it, making the 1.1 update entirely unnecessary. Since people have a LOT of issues if they try to go from 1.1 to 1.2, you are strongly advised to not install the 1.1 patch and instead should take your game straight from 1.0 to 1.2.

I'll try again but the 1.2 doesn't start the installation without previus installation of 1.1.Anyway it worth trying...How can i make 1.2 start to install without 1.1?Any ideas?Thanks all of you for your help!!

1.2 will start the installation without 1.1 and will most likely fail if that patch is applied.

[AnthoniusII]

Nothing happens!!!1.2 SIMPLY does not begin installation without "previus" versions...What can i do to make it started without 1.1?

[sapi]

Uninstall M2TW

Delete the sega/m2tw folder.

Restart your computer.

Install M2TW.

Restart your computer.

Install the 1.2 patch.

This whole updated patch process is quite frankly pants. I have spent the whole of today deleting reinstalling rebooting to get this update working. This should be straightforward. My system runs on microsoft with norton. To update either I access the site, and run update. The download completes and a message says update completed successfully. You then reboot. Simple. It takes minutes not hours. For my efforts the game still doesnt work and the launcher keeps activating AOL for reasons I cannot fathom. To play i have to close AOL down. For me I might as well throw the game away and buy a new one preloaded with v1.2. Whoever has got contacts with CA tell them to get it right for 1.3 because this is basically a joke.

In the meantime I shall go back to MTW as it works. If anyone can reconmend a good mod for M2TW from the basis v1.0 version please let me know. At least that will work as well.

hacked off and fed up.

All i had to do was reinstall to 1.0 as i had leaked 1.2 installed, run the game once, restart and install 1.2.

Please have a read of my post a few lines up to find the correct way to install the patch.

The launcher activates AOL because it wants internet access; if you don't want to give it said access either block it through norton or bypass it entirely.
