-Extract to C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War

Is this a compilation of all previous patches too? I ask because I have all previous patches saved on my comp and I'm completely reinstalling SS and RC/RR atm due to a goof trying to mod the music =S.

[Point Blank]

It includes all previous patches, so install over Oct 30 main files, or over any previous patches, should be fine.

Looks great PB! Thanks for all your work man. Its gotta be tough to find time with the new child! Congrats on life and RC/RR!

PB, is this the final version of the patch, or can we also expect a 'Final Final' release in the future perhaps?

Well its a final beta, so I'd say its just the final testing period before it becomes final lol.

Hi, its my first try with SS, i install 6.2 rc4 from http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=302184 and the small fix for mongol and merchant.

All is working but if extract ""final beta"" the game wont start.

If i replace mods\Stainless_Steel_6 by a backup all is working again.

This is compatible with 6,2 rc4 or i need to install 6,1?
Do i have to install previous version before this one?

thnx for your help

Sorry for my bad english but my first language is french.

Try 'A Proper Empire: Terra Incognita'

Supply and man power feature is one of the best feature i've seen in any Total War game.

I mostly had 'meh' face for ETW due to the performance issues and how many problems I seemed to experience with it versus other games, especially with DarthMod installed. My computer is pretty much up-to-date and it can't even deal with ETW's nonsense.

I am only annoyed of the 1450 campaign in SS where Mongols are invading.

Maybe for the Final FINAL one, could it be possible to change?

From http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=300716:
Install over the top of SS6.1 with RR and BGR options UNTICKED.

6.2 rc4 and this are two entirely different stainless steel games. Neither is compatible with the other.

Sorry for my bad english but my first language is french.

Your English is good; someday I will learn French, so I'll be the one apologizing for my French!

Not sure if this is fixed in this most recent patch but I noticed that the new peasant models have some really weird normal textures, every part of the unit in-game is shiny like a metal part including faces and cloth.

What faction are you playing? I'll check into this, they should be OK.

I was just playing a custom battle, english vs egypt and both sides had weird shiny textures for peasants

this post http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=369258 suggest me that ss6,2rc4 is compatible with rr/rc

Im a little bit confuse, i dont understand what rc4 mean. ss6,2rc4 is ss6,2 or there is a other ss6,2 hidden somewhere?

[Point Blank]

They look OK on my install.
