[Other] Crusader Kings 2 patch 1.05c + DLC

faninatiako · 07-01-12 at 10:22 PM

Patch 1.06 my CK2 copy, backup somewhere the ck2.exe from 1.06
Replace ck2.exe by 1.05g, start game by clicking this .exe, so all map become gray, no selection allowed. Shut the game

Replace the ck2.exe(1.05g) by another one (1.06)

I'm opening CK2-105G.exe and I press on single game, I open up the map with the first option and here's what I get:

I was thinking this was the gray map I was told about, so I closed CK2105G.EXE and opened the normal CK2.EXE, which shows version 1.06 but the DLC still weren't activated.

ok, I followed all the instructions and the game doesnt work, launching with either the 106 exe or the 105g exe.

the game loads, and stops at the map screen, the controls never appear

I'm gonna ask you if you use the repack that i provided or the Skid Row version. The repack is using the official Gamersgate release, while SkidRow is using the Steam release (uncracked since 1.02b).

Everything i post it's for either the official Gamersgate release or the russian repack based on that. And in case you wonder, Gamersgate it's a portal similar to Steam, they just don't install tons of crap on your computer. Great place to buy some games, as they do have some nice sales drives.

faninatiako · 08-08-12 at 09:00 AM

Well, I think the game must be SxSxL repack or another one but not the skidrow release, which has many issues.

Another tips, click on the ck2game.exe (small paradox logo), the crusader kings2 launcher will be shown, there you can activate manually all DLC.

humanerror · 08-13-12 at 01:21 AM

The SkidRow release it's the Steam release, meaning it needs to be cracked for every new update. Also, the patch needs to be unpacked and applied through copy/paste/overwrite method. Same thing happened with all the paradox releases through Steam (Victoria2, EU3, Pride of Nations, HOI3). So most sane people are using the russian Gamersgate repacks (which are EN/RU releases, but with an russian installer-game still in english, with the russian option on the table).

There's a problem. I've installed the whole game just fine, but I've noticed many of the noble family coats of arms are not properly in place.

What I mean by that is that the wrong families have custom coats of arms that belong elsewhere, while the prominent families that were supposed to have the custom coat of arms have a generic one that changes every time you start the game.

Some custom family coats of arms are fine, but others aren't. We've lost the custom coat of arms of the Salian German imperial family, of the Aleramicci family (the famous crusading counts of Montferrat), and others as well.

There used to be a fix for similar problems. I remember someone talking about editing the coats of arms.TXT file from the "interface" folder, but I have no idea how exactly. Does anyone know how to fix this?

humanerror · 08-14-12 at 01:35 AM

This is the fix i used for the COA DLC go to Crusader kings directory, open the interface folder, find the coat_of_arms.txt, Scroll down to find the referense to dynasties.tga with the size
x = 16 y = 4
and change the size to
x = 51 y = 1
this should fix it.

Yeah, they never fixed that.

Agh, I tried that unfortunately. It does something to the dynasty shields but it mostly just messes them up completely. Its definitely to be fixed by fiddling with that entry, but we need a new fix, a new set of coordinates.

Does anyone understand how to fix this? I do some modding, but I have no idea what those coordinates are or how exactly they affect the dynasty shields. Its rather important since, well, you play as a dynasty in this game and its kinda lame when you're missing content there.

humanerror · 08-14-12 at 06:04 AM

Not eactly sure why that's messed up. Certainly it's not the first time, from what i recall.

Certainly not. I checked and it looks like the vast majority of dynasty shields are off. Mostly we have generic coats of arms where there used to be custom ones. Its likely some other families that should have generic coats of arms have the wrong custom ones that belong to the big families. Its all mixed up. Wettin, Welf, Salian, von Luxembourg, etc..

We really need a fix for this fellas (i.e. probably a new set of x,y coordinates for coats of arms.TXT). It takes a lot away from the game.

Hi Humanerror, could you upload the repack to other host like Depositfiles, maybe? I'm always getting error trying to download from Rapidgator. And the speed from Jumbofiles is too small (<10 KBps) plus ads that's blocking the download button. Please? Thanks in advance.

humanerror · 08-18-12 at 07:39 AM

I'm preparing the new repack for upload, but not sure if i manage to put it online this weekend (out of town and the connection is awful where i am)

Our favorite repacker released 1.06b repack, so the new people will have to grab only the patches (provided that there will be no DLC in the near future). It also contains an acivator, so people won't have to activate through the old method (which wasn't unerstood too well by many). I'll try to post that activator in a separate link, provided that i figure out if there are more files linked to it.

**orgasminator** · 08-18-12 at 08:05 AM

Thanks. I don't mind waiting. It's just the hoster, I have problems with the two I mentioned above. Depositfiles is OK.

You did a good job sharing this game with all updates. TU very much. :)
