Question about the Steam version

[TylerX5]

First of all, I love the work you all have been doing and am looking forward to finally see this mod released. I am convinced it will be worth the wait!

For the steam version:
When I installed another mod to pass the time till the release I had a problem because I have the steam version.

This problem was solved by making a copy of Medieval2.exe and renaming it Kingdoms.exe within the Medieval2 folder. This allowed the mod to launch properly and enabled me to play it.

Hope this helps,

Haha, how did you even think to do that?

Bracing for release. MY BODY IS READY

Haha, how did you even think to do that?

While I could claim credit and say that the error message "kingdoms.exe was not found" spurred met to creating it, that would be a lie...

I found the answer at the Third age forums (the mod I was installing)
Damn those ever helpfull modders, not only do they create the most awesome games (EB is not a mod, it is a game of its own) they also answer all those pesky questions. Damn them indeed.
@Sylon
Yeah, read that too. This option was easier and it worked, so I never tried that.

Well, I had the same hope: That the Steam version would work fine. It does NOT. It's Ubisoft's fault, AFAIK, and their DRM. I bought the whole package for 5 Euros and will re-install the game. Should it still be installed in Programmes instead of Pragrammes(x86)?
Thanks in advance...

Neither. Place it anywhere except Program Files. For instance c:\M2TW or c:\Games\M2TW.

[delablake]

OK, thanks a lot! :)

Edit: I have a recurring problem: the game installer of my new DL of total war medieval keeps telling me, that the program would already be there, aborting the install, after the direct download of 12 GIG...
When I try the manual install from the temporary files, the game-code is not accepted.
I am pretty desperate, since this ONLY ever happens to me with this frigging game...Medieval II
Any hints?
Thanks!
