Patch question

**tonedog** · August 31, 2007, 01:38 AM

i remember reading somewhere that kingdoms would include a patch that would update medieval 2 as well. is this true?

**Lone rider** · August 31, 2007, 05:16 AM

Yes, however i`m uncertain what its changing (installing it now).

**edders** · August 31, 2007, 05:19 AM

Nothing. It updates M2 to 1.3 but this is purely for compatibility reasons. There are no changes whatsoever in the sense of bug fixes, performance etc.

**medivalmatt** · August 31, 2007, 05:24 AM

Does this mean 1.2 comptaible mods wont work with Med2 now?

I have a problem installing the 1.3 patch from the kingdoms disc. I get an error message and the installation program aborts. What may be the problem? It's very annoying cause I can't play kingdoms without the patch....

Any help would be appreciated.

Well it' a patching error.
I suggest you do a clean install.

-uninstall M2(then delete the remaining folders) Remember to back-up any things you consider to be important(save games, preferences...)
-open regedit.
-go to Local Machine/Software/SEGA
-delete the "directory" SEGA
-restart your computer in oder to update the registry
-install M2
-install Kingdoms(this will patch M2 to version 1.3) The patching will last an eternity

-after all are done it should work
Hope this helps. Good luck

"Updates version number to 1.3"

Awesome.

**tonedog** · September 01, 2007, 02:38 AM

yeah it updates the version but i dont see any improvements there. what the official word on this?

**Calamarain** · September 02, 2007, 06:24 AM

Does this mean the new features like boiling oil and more control of reinforcements are only available in the new kingdom campaigns, and not the original grand campaign?

Indeed it does sir, CA have said that at the time of Kingdoms release they had no plans to implement these changes, but ney mind as a mod will prob do it, and Kingdoms 4 campaigns have enough substance to keep you busy for awhile.

The Retrofit mod by the Unspoken Knight transfers some of the main features from the expansion provided that you have the expansion itself.

Check it out in the Kingdoms mods section.

Could well be easiest to port the entire old GC as a mod in the mod folder, and then play it through the kingdoms.exe.

"Updates version number to 1.3" ?????

Is that seriously written in the official read me file? Are CA actually trying to take the piss out of us with that? Talk about rubbing our noses in it, Jesus H Christ.
