    Default I cannot install Patch 1.1 for MTW

    I cannot install the patch. It tells me that MTWII has not been installed.
    Does the game has to reside on partition C:?
    In my case it is installed on
    F:\Spiele\Programme\SEGA\Medieval II Total War
    whereas F:\ is a seperate harddrive where only games resides on.

    Hope I didn't use the wrong forum.

    Thanks in advance

    If I would have a pirat version I would not be so foolish and ask for help

    Not everyone who has problems should be supected to use pirated versions

    I guess I'll a reinstall to see what will happen.

    I found my issue. The message was correct.
    I had restored my SYSTEMDRIVE a week ago to a backup that doesn't have the entries for MTW II-Installation. Hence the folder on drive F is still there but the game is not registered in the registry.

    :hmmm:

    Game reinstalled and patch successfully applied

    I have a legit version and the patch is definately not working for me. I've tried reinstalling and this is getting frustrating.

    What's wrong with F drive?

    Of course, patches works on pirate version too.

    I posted my question to get help not to get SPAM!
    I guess Whoolygimp1207 thinks the same.

    There are instructions posted in the sticky thread for the release of the patch. So we don't have to keep posting how to over and over. Just point to that thread. I've asked a mod to rename the thread. Cheers!

    Just wondering if you are using a no-cd .... If so try putting the orig .exe back then try again. hope this helps

    Well my problems is that i downloaded off of direct2drive, and I need a direct2drive specific patch. Unfortunately one hasn't been released yet.

    I have the same problem with my german version and got a answer in the twforum saying that it has something to do with running a antivir programm while installing which prevents the game to add a correct regestry entry.-> reinstall with antivir progs disabled.

    You are going to have to wait longer to get the directdrive-specific patch for M2TW.


    You cannot use the one that was released on Steam and neither the standard one released for the people with the DVD version.

    I know, this sucks, but so does directdrive in this perspective.

    @Eudorus
    Thanks for the hint. However, I resoveled my issue. As I said, I had restored my C-drive to an older version. In that version MTWII hadn't been installed.
    The MTWII-Folder was still there since it resides on another hard drive. I ran the setup again and the registry entries were made. After that I could apply the patch. I did not notice this since I haven't played MTWII until now. I was downloading the patch and tried to apply it. However, I'll start MTWII yet to see whether I can recognize the changes or not

    if you want to see if you can tell if the patch is in or not is either a) go to options and look at the tope right cornet of the scren and it will say 1.1 or b) do a custom game and have one side with a unit of musketeers and the other with arrows. If the musketeers still shoot when they are hit by arrows the patch is working.
