Hotseat dosn't work!

**TELS** · September 30, 2014, 09:43 AM

I can't make the hotseat work, I have windows 7, medieval 2 version 1.52 and play over steam.
I have no clue what is wrong, but a steam bootstrapped error appears and ingame I can't choose more than one faction.
I have also added papal state can that be the problem?

I used these informations:
[hotseat]
turns = 0
scroll = 0
autoresolve_battles = 0
disable_console = 0
disable_papal_elections = 0
passwords = 0
save_prefs = 1
update_ai_camera = 0
validate_diplomacy = 1

[multiplayer]
playable = 1

Aaaah... it's steam... well in the steam version the kingdoms.exe was merged with the medieval2.exe so that explains it, with original medieval2.exe you started hotseat from single player campaign, in kingdoms.exe it was made into a separate menu in Multiplayer, with the merging the vanilla hotseat was removed and a separate menu must not have been added then? In this case you can only report it to CA somehow and hope they'll fix it, and in the meantime install retrofit mod and play hotseat with it, it's about the same thing as vanilla.
