How to install 5.1 ??

[RichiN]

Just downloaded the second 5.1 patch, still get a ctd when I try to start the game, if I direct the installation to MTW2/MODS/STAINLESS STEEL/DATA nothing happens and its still 5.0 and if I try any other location I get a CTD before I can go in to the game, any1 that can help me out here??

Did you download it before or after KK uploaded the fixed version? If you have the earlier version, it is missing some files.

If you have the later version, then i guess you could try to remove 5.0, install it again and then install 5.1.

I got the later version, I have tried 3 time uinstalling it and installing it still get a ctd before I can get in to the game... dunno what to do

Have you tried deleting any remaining files or folders.

Maybe, just maybe, that's doing it. Somehow.

I thought the same, as it seems that if you use the uninstall program, it leaves some folders in.

So, maybe removing SS manually and re-installing after that?

That's why i said it was a stupid question

I have been away for a while, so i didn't know whether you've played 5.0 or not

Good luck with re-install, hope it works!

He can't have played 5.0 without kingdoms.
Anyways, the mod should be directed to e.g. "c:/program files/sega/medieval 2/" and not the 5.0 stainless steel data folder.

When I direct it there I get the ctd when I try to start the game
Anyway the big re-installation is on its way, hopefully it will work

same trouble here, mate ...had 5.0 , deleted the mod files & instaled 5.1b - now it CTD ...why? I believe it's because 5.1b has no batch file & makes no proper shortcut ... but I'm open to sugestions

RichiN: Download patch 5.1b and DON'T istall it in \mods\stainless_steel\data foler. Just install it in your normal m2:tw folder (for example c:\games\sega\medieval2:TotalWar). The patch will then automatically install in the mods\stainless_steel folder, and won't owerwrite any vanilla files (so to speak, the path is inlcuded in the patch).
