Kingdoms Update Released

[doorknobdeity]

Is this something you've done personally, or are you speculating?

[Longcat]

I replaced the localized.pack in Americas and in Britania: The welsh reinforcements work and the shield values + loyalty of apache heir you can look at yourself:





I have retail Us version of both both unbundled and bought separetely

[Sarge]

Hello. Im a bit confused. The patch before this I think was the patch 1.3 and now patch 1.5 is here? Doesnt patch 1.4 exist?

:sigh: No. Kingdoms RTM was 1.4. This latest patch is for Kingdoms only: It brings Kingdoms to 1.5 and leaves M2TW at 1.3.

If you want all the latest bugfixes but you still wanna play the Grand Campaign you need to get a copy of Kingdoms and then use the Retrofit Mod (and also optionally the Grand Unit Addon Mod).

Frankly, I think CA dropped the ball with it's patching regimen here. They should have patched M2TW vanilla at the same time as they patched Kingdoms. Heaven knows there's a lot of bugs left in M2TW. They did things that way with RTW: every time RTW:BI got a patch, so did RTW vanilla. Why did they deviate from that scheme?

Kingdoms itself when released as 1.4. Hence why this patch is 1.5.



I have only heard of a very small number of people having trouble with the European patch, the vast majority are reporting no problems with it. It is the American patch that is mostly the problem.

Hi Lusted,

I'am one of the few that used the EU patch and still got the ....packs\localization.pack error.
so its not only with thr US.
I'am using vista ultimate but i presume the system as nothing to do with th problem. I think....

A fix has been found by B5Draal on Totalwarforums.com Go there and download his files from his profile to replace the ones that have the errors and the Patch will work. Just did it myself and Update was Completed!

Longcats solution worked for me. Just get the UK version files (check official forums) and copy them over and then update with the patch.

I confirm EU patch have same problems with packs\localization.pack error during instalation...so its not only US patch

[webbird]

i have used the euro version / german version successful, the patch installation had run without errors

[shonelli]

There is a way to fix this: replace the American files that are a problem(localized .pack & event.dat) with the UK ones then patch with the Us patch. I swear it works.
Someone upload the files please

can confirm that it is working...

will check if the changes has been made in game. at least, for now, game can be patched.

little reflection - dont ya think it is a BIG absurd that company release patch and community must find a way to fix it? IMO person responsible for this mess should be fired....

So, does this mean that the US patch is looking for the UK version of some files when it should actualy be looking for the US version of those same files? Is so: WHY?!

Hi,

English version and US version are, apparently, the same for these fix files (only pak files and sounds files = 15 Mo).

However, I'm not Lusted and I'm not a specialist, so test them by yourself.

The only error notification I got when patching the US version with US patch was that some game elements didnt patch because I didnt have all of the scenarios in Kingdoms installed.
I do However play a Mod called Kingdoms Grand Campaign, and was able to continue a saved game.
One thing I noticed that the patch seems to have changed is, you no longer can assault Castles or large towns without catapults.(using the quick battle resolution) This is a good thing. Will make for a more realistic game when trying to auto resolve siege assaults.
example. I attacked a Milanese Large Town with a professional army, well armed and armored, outnumbering them 900v350 and I had a 1 star General.
I did not have catapults or trebs.
the Town had a no star Captain. Auto resolve had me lose a close defeat. In the past I would have had a clear victory. Has anyone else noticed this?

[B5Draal]

I made a new thread with a link to the files needed to make the patch 1.5 for US version of Kingdoms to work. Enjoy!

[dearmad]

yeah, a user has to figure out the patch problems...

Why CA doesn't trust us to test the patch BETAs for them (they should release beta patches PUBLICLY!!!!!!!- oh wait they ALREADY DO!) but consistently does this in house in as crappy a fashion as conceivably possible... that's anyone's guess.

OK, I tested this method out and found that it works, except that b5drall (aparantly) forgot to include the Tutonic pre-update localised.pack file. So if someone could just please provide the proper Tutonic localised.pack file, we're all set.

Hi,

You don't need the pre-update files : put in the folders the updates files and the patch (recognize and) overwrite them : that's the easiest method.

Anyway, look at the new thread make by B5Draal about this solution.

Anyone could help me? I downloaded patch 1.5 Europe, but it doesn't work with polish version. Patch 1.3 Europe works perfectly on polish version, but why not 1.5? Is there any way to change version of the game to another? Like from PL to US or something? Changing language files "localised.pack" didn't help at all, it just changed all text from polish to english.

[Valbruch]

Konjad: There are no patches for Central and Eastern Europe versions. We have to wait until they will be released. If they will be released at all.

[IronBlood]

Sorry to add to your list of problems but...my problem is that when I have completely dl the patch ( tried U.S. and the European patch) my computer then tries to bring up Internet Explorer but then closes it even before the website shows up. Any ideas that might fix this? Btw I own the U.S. versions of Medieval II and Kingdoms bought separatly. Thanks for your time!
