Using gamershell UK mirror at work - 13 minutes......

Going to be a good May bank holiday!

[Quickening]

First X-Fire adds support for Europa Universalis 3 and now this! Happy times!

[gardibolt]

Using the German site, taking about an hour but that's cool.

Sweet... More 1.2 goodness for all this time... Shame my HRE campaign must end, but I have the leaked patch so I suspect I must reinstall...

[doorknobdeity]

Hot damn! A good end to a bad week!

Now, if I installed the leaked 1.2, will I have to uninstall and reinstall the game?

Edit: from the .com forums: "If you have previously installed the "unofficial" Update 2, you will need to reinstall (sorry!) or unexpected behaviour could occur"

Very good thing to point out, I'm guessing this will end up biting a lot of folks who don't think about it.

*off to the download waiting line*

[Shahed]

Thanks for the headsup Jambo.

Mama Mia,terrible D/L speeds on Euro servers, using Israel 200kb/s.
How cool is that ? Not very ... but it beats crummy 10kb/s.

Dammit ! Now I'll have to re-mod my whole frekin game. AGGGGGGGGG !!
LOL joking, no worries, should'nt take me more than 10 hours.

ENJOY THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEKEND !!!!

[Shahed]

....dbl post.

[Slicendice]

Good. I can at least start removing M2TW while I wait for the download.

[Doug-Thompson]

Wish the shield bug had been specifically mentioned in the list of fixes.

[Shahed]

Apparently it's fixed, but from what I've read, some people think that 2Handers are now underbalanced.

Thanks. I hope the religious fanatics for crusades/jihads are of some use now. They were bitten by the 2h bug too.

[Daveybaby]

Medieval 2 Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit.

[econ21]

Does anyone know whether we can continue our existing campaigns on 1.2? I did not seem to have a problem continuing a 1.1 campaign on unofficial 1.2.

I know some changes may only be applied if you start a new campaign, but we are in the middle of a 12+ man four month+ PBEM in the Throne Room and want to patch but only if it does not break our campaign.

[FactionHeir]

Gamershell UK mirror was too slow for me even while living in the UK...20kb/s.
Using a German mirror (exp mirror #2) at 150kb/s :)


Btw, I read over at the official forum that some people seem to have problems running M2TW even after reinstalls. Hopefully that isn't another leaked patch with the final tag on it :p

[Midnight]

Downloading now - 66% atm. Looking forward to trying a new game with this!

[Tamur]

613 Mb! Good heavens, gone indeed are the days of floppy disks.

Yes you can, i was able to continue a 1.1 Venice campaign.

[Grod Tepes]

I'm using the "Leaked" 1.2 patch at the moment so I'm going to remove and reinstal the complete game. Once I've done that can I instal 1.2 directly onto 1.0, or do I have to instal 1.1 again, first?

Cheers

I'll tell you in about half an hour.

Edit: Oops... Release notes for the Unpacker, not the patch itself...

Can't seem to find release notes for the patch itself...



Release Notes:

I took this off to stop causing confusion...

[Shahed]

Thanks for posting.

This "Licensed copy of Medieval II: Total War version 1.1" means you need clean, vanilla 1.10, then patch to 1.20.

[Garnier]

So will there be problems if I install the official 1.2 over a clean 1.0 installation?

[Shahed]

Probably... because it says in the notes to install over 1.10.
Try and it on 1.0 and let us know what happens ? Personally I;d just clean install 1.10 then patch to 1.20.

[stuartdm]

I can't get faster than 16kb/s, having tried all the GamersHell mirrors. 11 hours! And yes, I am on 2mB broadband. (actually should be 8 but the phone line isn't good enough).

[Shahed]

Try Israel, I was getting 200kb there, 10MB here though.

[Lusted]

It installed fine over 1.0 for me.

[Bob the Insane]

Yeah I edited my post to take the notes out, I had listed the Unpacker notes and not the patch notes... I can't actually find release notes for the patch...
