Comment to: Sticky: [Patches]M2TW Update 1.5, 1.3 & 1.2 Download Links

Hi,
thanks for your instructions on how to patch the game. I still run into some trouble when trying to patch the game. I just devoted 3 hrs of searching various forums, nothing to be found. My problem is, that I bought M2TW and the expansion through steam. When I start the game it says, that I am running version 1.03 (which I think means 1.3). Now, the mod I want to play (Westeros) needs version 1.5 but there seems to be no way to patch the steam-version. What can I do? Has someone else had that problem?
I tried to run the mod in the current version, it crashed after I selected the faction and wanted to start the game.

Any help is much appreciated.

There is no need to patch the steam version, its already patched fully and if a new patch were to be released, it would be patched automatically if you have an internet connection.

Medieval 2 TW is patched to v1.3. The Kingdoms expansion is patch 1.4 and the 1.5 patch is a patch for the Kingdoms expansion.

Danny's right. Take this to the mod's forum.

If it needs version 1.5, logic assumes that it would need the Kingdoms expansion. Are you sure the modification is for Vanilla Medieval II Total War, or is it perhaps for Kingdoms, the expansion pack?

Thank you, gentlemen - thanks to your help I figured it out.
What I didn't understand was that Kingdoms was one of the four different scenarios you can choose from in the (buggy) launcher. I always started the vanilla game.
That didn't solve the initial problem, though, which I shall now inquire upon in the mods forum.
Thank you all, again.

Yes kingdoms.exe itself is not a self-executable file so one needs launcher.exe or custom .bat files to launch their kingdoms based campaigns\mods.

Anyways i updated the sticky so that steam users don't get confused by it, thanks.
