Question about Patches?

**Kadal** · December 05, 2007, 12:32 PM

Hey all

Forgive my ignorance, but which patch do I use for MTW2?

I have a clean install, and am currently using 1.2. I can get online fine for multiplayer.

Do I still need to patch to 1.3, or is that just if I add Kindoms?

Thks for any input.

The latest M2TW patch is 1.3. It doesn't really add anything special so it's not really a big deal but what will you lose by installing it?

Well, I guess I was wondering about the need for 1.3. My multiplayer is fine, no bugs or glitches. Since I am not running Kingdoms atm, I was wanting to know if there is any need to patch to 1.3?

I haven't even started any single player yet....having too much fun with mp

1.4 is kingdoms and 1.3 you get wenn you have kingdoms also but most have 1.3 but i dont now the difference between 1.3 and 1.2

1.3 fixes like '3' things... and of course let's you play with everyone else online running m2.

I wish 1.4 would enable us to play "hotseat" campaign on LAN instead of one computer but I doubt it though it will be probably longer time to get the final patch.

Well there is a way... but it's round about hell if you ask me

check the sticky in the M2 MP subforum at the very bottom there's a app that would allow you to play via LAN.

Thanks again Armatus (aint allowed to add rep yet). If it would be possible then my dreams were come true.

**PeteSKTemplar** · December 08, 2007, 05:38 PM

It seems that though I do anything with preferance.cfg I cant get hotseat on LAN or campaign on LAN but battles only.

show what you're preferences are you can pm or post them here if you like.

Well I meant there is no possibility to play regular LAN campaign from what I see, LAN or online multiplayer is possible only through sending saved turn, not real time one as normal (like other RTS offer). Anyway thanks for reply!
If I am wrong I it would be fine, but I doubt possibility to play real-time multi campaing on LAN. I just can hope next TW series (Empires) will offer it.
