    Default ummm what's the update for?

    Solution to mods not working? Try this:

    Won't the auto update remove the kingdoms.exe? If it doesn't then this is a non-issue in my eyes.
    Can you confirm your method (Method 1) and try if method 2 works as well?

    Method 1Make copy of medieval2.exe
    Rename to kingdoms.exe
    Start mods through regular BAT file
    Method 2Change BAT file: replace kingdoms.exe entry part with medieval2.exe
    Start mods through regular BAT file

    Bare Geomod hasn't got a BAT file - it uses the Steam compatible modStarter, maybe that's where the problem was.
    OLDER POST: Credit to Gigantus and others.

    I got this in Steam:


    It's re-downloading the game and I didn't activate it? It's happening with Rome too.

    TEMPORARY FIX

    There should be ways to get mods to work.

    But in order to, you must edit the path of a kingdoms campaign to point to where the mod is in order to launch it. I'll try it because it used to work, but not 100% sure.

    EDIT: Got SS to work and Third Age. Go to mods folder and rename the mod you want to play to a kingdoms campaign while renaming that actual campaign to something else.




    It's not permanent but it should work for now.

    If you are asked to purchase Kingdoms via Steam, this DOES NOT mean you do not have it. Instead of having it as an entirely different game as before, it is now a DLC sharing an entry with the base Medieval II game.

    Seems as if they merge both games... not sure if the steam-scum or CA is causing this.
    I guess they will up all mods, like they always do, i got Shogun and Rome decativated, unfortunatly i couldnīt to anything against this insoclence.

    I hate people.

    Got the same problem here.
    Even worse, now Steam asks me to buy again the Kingdoms DLC, though I had it just before and already played 12 hours.

    You're welcome.

    I got 1550 hours on Kingdoms, with the right mods (Third Age + submods, Thera, Rule Britannia, etc) it is still the best Total War.

    Good to know, cause now you can't play any of them! Woo!

    On the serious sidenote, has anyone actually confirmed that this idiotism broke everything good in these games? Anyone at all?

    has this screwed up mods for anyone?

    This shouldn't change the main game itself so mods should be safe I guess.

    Right-click Medieval2 and see if they are listed. According to their OP they are supposed to be, launcher only.

    I don't understand why it is 10 Gb and I thought the current CA studio lost all the M2TW code.

    Excuse me but there are many people who is still play M2TW MP also multiplayer is a core part of a game and has priority over any add-ons.

    Has anyone confirmed that it is impossible to run a mod? I find this highly unlikely unless they did away with config files and made it impossible for the game to read modded game files. If you are concerned cause you no longer get the launcher there are ways around that.

    They main reason some people are upset about this is because unless you play vanilla multi-player it isn't going to help you that much.

    I have my steam libarary set to only update a game if I choose too and when I tried to launch S.S. 6.4 today I got an error "The program can't start because mss32.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

    So I am downloading the new patch now and see if I still encounter a error trying to play SS afterwards...

    Just rename the mod you want to play with one of the vanilla mods for now, and launch the mod by right clicking M2TW in steam.

    Use this as a temporary fix I guess.

    Excuse me but people still play M2TW because of the mods, that's its major selling point.
