    Default I'm Late

    Hi guys,
    first sorry for my poor english I'm Italian, second I know that probably my problem is an old one, third my prob is that I have M2 1.0 version and I tried to update it with the 1.2 patch but 'cause the game is on the D: drive the patch doesn' t run; unfortunately I have no more space on the drive C:
    there is any possibilities for me to update the game to 1.2 and 1.3 on the D: drive?
    thank very much

    It should find the proper path to patch the game or let you choose the path (haven't installed the patch in a while so my memory is a little fuzzy).Are you getting any errors or does it just refuse to start the setup.exe?

    -Make sure you have the right version of the patch
    -You may have the gold edition if you got the game recently so check the version number on the main menu screen (top right hand corner IIRC)

    my M2 is 1.0 original version, not the gold edition, I have downloaded the patch from gamershell without any prob but when I start to update the game I haven't the possibility to choose the drive, the patch update directly in the C: drive, my prob is that I can't choose the drive:hmmm:

    I probably say something very stupid, but what if you rename the drives...?

    Correct me if I'm wrong but the update refuses to do so without the free space c: drive even if you have the game installed on another drive with plenty of free space. I believe its one of the things built into the installer.

    Hi Garb, (your nick is too long, sorry) I've tried to rename the drives, but nothing, I wasn't be able to do that;

    AlfonsoVIII Did you ever install the game on C:

    Hi Alfonso, I have never installed the game on C:.
    I have all the games in D: drive, only the system is in C:, but is quite strange 'cause I have never had problem with other games

    irishron Correct me if I'm wrong but the update refuses to do so without the free space c: drive even if you have the game installed on another drive with plenty of free space.

    Hi Irishron, you're right, I've got a lot of free space on the D: drive (45gb +/-), not enough on C: drive;
    the matter is taht I can't chose the D: drive to update the game; I've downloaded the patch from gamershell (a zip file) after that I have extracted the "MIITW_UPDATE2_EFIGS_RC_Final.exe" on the desktop, and then I tried to start with the update, but the damned put it authomatically on the C: drive and the browse button is blinded.
    another way to resolve the matter is, perhaps, increase the space on the C: drive, but I don't know how :hmmm:

    The fatset way to get some room is click start, click programs, click accessories, click system tools, disk cleanup and let it do what ti does best.

    Can you link me to that update file, I want to make sure its the correct one. And I assume you own the Italian version of the game?

    Patches and Fixes: Medieval 2: Total War v1.2 EU Patch - Demo Movie Patch Download Section - GamersHell.com
    this is where I have found the patch, I have downloaded from central Usa; I have tried to download again directly on the D: drive, after I have always extracted the file on the D: drive , and finally I have started with the update with the .exe, but nothing, it always put the update on the folder C: documents and settings bla bla bla and yes, I've the italian version

    hi irish, unfortunately I have only 15gb on the C: drive and I've got the system there, anyway I have followed what you have suggested to me and now I have roughly 3gb of space available, insufficient for the game (more than 7 gb) and its upgrades.
    it is unbelivable that I can't change the folder

    Why your hardrive is partitioned that way, I don't know. From what I have read you're out of luck unless someone comes along with a workaround. Have you considered repartitioning your harddrive? There are programs out there that can and not lose any data.
