I'm feeling rather glad that I bought M2TW Gold on budget back in 2008, though I've never even opened it. I guess this weekend is the moment I'll need to break it out and install the patch I downloaded a couple of months ago.

...which has Gamespy on it, so be careful in case CA issues a patch to change Gamespy to Steam MP, which will probably bugger up the retail MTW2 Gold version too.Originally Posted by QuintusSertorius

But on retails you can easily just not download the patch? And if they do release such a patch that screws up M2TW retail, im sure EB2 will be released on the not screwed up version, before the patch, cause thats what would make sense.

It was the platform for multi M2TW games.

Doesn't that require me to say yes to installing Gamespy? Which I've never agreed to with any other game. I'm not interested in multiplayer, so I have no need for it.

I'd love to be a play tester. Have spent thousands of hours playing almost all the TW games. Most on M2TW mods esp SSHIP , TATW and Paeninsula Italica 2. Looking forward to EB2 more than any other mod.

If it comes to it, I can install M2:TW completely offline. I have the DVD and I have the patch already downloaded. All I'd have to do is switch off my router.

Alright, so I've installed the first disk, and two of the four campaigns from the second. But Crusades seems to have lost a file; do I actually need to install the Kingdoms campaigns? Because I have no intention of actually playing any of them, if I don't need them to play EBII then I won't bother.

You only have to install one campaign.

So I could uninstall three of them? Not that I'm struggling for disk space or anything, but it seems a little unnecessary if I only need one.
EDIT: After all that, patching was completely problem-free. No Steam involved, which may be the reason.

Has M2:TW complete for the same price as on Steam.
I use GG for a lot of game purchases and have never had a problem.
Re: State of the Mod Address, Fall 2013: We're Almost There
Now THAT is an excellent solution, Grimmy. I'd give you rep if you had it turned on.
The installation of Gamespy is contingent upon the type of MTW2 Kingdoms, as there are several kinds due to packaged deals. Real older versions might do the Gamespy installation as part of the process, just as old versions might do the Direct X as a separate part or as an included part.
There's always been a way to play across a LAN, but how many people have access to one outside of college/university? I have no doubt that Steam/CA will offer a MP to everyone (for a price) but for now you couldn't pay me to be part of their wicked experiment.
Buy a non-Steam version and save yourself the hassle. Treat yourself.

Yes August. That may mean tomorrow, or in 30 days.
