Good find. I will include that remark in my instructions.

Can anyone help, I've been trying to install the King of Rivers and Hills mod, but when I copy/what not it into Mods folder, it says archives or something ended, and when I browse, and then add it in the mod launcher, nothing is filled in, in the config field, so it's empty and I cannot type in it.

[Gigantus]

End of archive encountered means the file you downloaded is corrupt - download again.

does this method (using Squid's tool) replace the method of altering one of your Kingdoms files? I was originally going to replace my Americas campaign with Third Age 3.2 when I came across the Kingdoms Launcher. My question is if I use this steam launcher tool do I still have to modify one of my Kingdoms campaigns or does this bypass that?

[Gigantus]

This will bypass that old method. I believe the OP for Third Age has been recently updated to reflect that.

Yeh it's an effective bypass. Worked fine! Thanks

I don`t have steam, but since I am helpin lot of people with their TATW Steam installing problems in TATW Technical Help, I am wondering, how do you uninstall TATW from steam?

When you open up the Kingdoms Launcher App program simply right click on the mod you wish to remove, and then click "Delete Settings" which should do the job. Of course it'll still be installed in your steamapps/common/medieval ii total war/mods folder (you have to remove that via uninstall/eraser etc.) but it won't appear in the Steam M2TW launcher listings.

Thanks for the info, this answer goes into my Hot Links list for future use an direction for steam users.

Removing an entry:
Simply open the application, high light the entry and then click 'File\Delete Mod Settings'

I'll add the part about removing the actual installation.

[Shankbot de Bodemloze]

No worries, glad I could help.

Using the Steam Installer? Otherwise this isn't quite the right place...

What is RotDG?

[Gigantus]

RotdG = Rage of the dark gods

Unspecified error means the game starts, but it's not the right game (mod) as RodG would give a different error message.
You most likely installed into the wrong directory - please post in the RodG thread.

'You must install and run MIITW & Kingdoms before using this tool' I have, frequently, why can't I use this tool? Please help! Thankyou!

[Gigantus]

At what step (see first post) are you having problems?

Basically I've installed your Kingdoms Launcher app correctly, double click on it, and I recieve a message saying 'You must install and play Kingdoms & MITW before using this' so what's the problem? I've already done what it's asked to no avail. Thankyou.

[Gigantus]

That will be related to the registry entry I would think. I have found a similar question in the support thread for the app but it does not seem to have been solved satisfactorily.

Are you trying to play a basic (Medieval 2) game or a Kingdoms game?
