Graphic bug in battles after the reacent big Steam patch

[Mortarion]

When i play a battle in towns and castles, half the castle or city will be coloured black. Can't remmember that happening before, any ideas why or what i can do about it?

It's important to make an entry here to see if that can be duplicated and to help Steam/CA who are working on a new patch to the patch. Include what mod you were using or what original campaign you were running.

So you did a 10 gig patch of Steam? Did you do a verify of the game after the Steam patch? This is the most likely cause and some part of the patch may have to be retransmitted. To do that in steam, right click on MTW2 in your Steam library, then properties, the local files, then verify integrity of game cache. Chances are something is corrupt in the transfer.

Good luck. If worse comes to worse, you may have to remove the local content from your Steam library, then reload it completely, but don't do that if you can, for you will lose your loaded mods plus save games.

Yes, i'v made a thread here aswell as the official CA Medieval 2 support forum.

I got the 10gb patch, and had some trouble with the text. So i deleted the game from steam library, then i deleted all the folders and files that had to do with Medieval 2 and Kingdoms. So a fresh install, after installing i did a vary game cache and it came up with a 6gb file o_O.

After downloading that, i was ready to play. Everything seems to work fine, except that the towns and castles are half normal and half of it is coloured black. Was thinking maybe some other people have a similair problem or have dealt with a problem like this before

I feel your pain. The patch sucks so far. Which mod is this happening in? Or is it one of the kingdoms' campaigns?

In regular vanilla Medieval 2
And i did a fresh reinstall of the game, deleted all my mods and game folders and files to be sure there wheren't any script left that might bug the game.
Some people on the official forum have posted on my thread that they have the same problem, and i think CA might look into it.

This would be good if they do.
