Scandinavian patch installation problem

FIX Part 1: originally posted by Patric

Scandinavian EU2 installation problem (setup.inx)

This is a compatibility issue with some CD readers and the copy protection.

You can download a working file here:
http://www.paradoxplaza.com/files/patches/setup_inx.zip

Try to copy the whole installation to the hd and install from there. Put the downloaded setup.inx in the same folder and off you go. I just tested it and it works like a charm.

Don't copy the *.vpp files though

If you choose to make a custom installation and play music from the CD you will have to edit the music.ini file after installation. Just change as follows:

####My installation####

[Common]
music=c:\Program Files\Europa Universalis 2\MUSIC

####Change to####

[Common]
music=X:\MUSIC

Where X is the drive letter for your CD rom drive. After that you can delete all the installation files you copied manually from the CD.

The Danish version...had the reputation to be extremely crashy because of the translation. There is a file called text.csv that contains all texts in the game. In this file, some mistakes were done wich leads to CTDs.

Your best bet is to apply the 1.10 patch and then apply this patch:
http://www.paradoxplaza.com/files/EU-English.exe (which will fix it but) your game will be in English though

Look at the self help thread, locate the Uninstall instruction about a third of the way down the thread, follow the instructions there for removing EU2 from your system.

Then start with a fresh install from the CD if possible.

See if that version works properly for you and report your findings back here.

I wanted you to NOT install the 1.07 patch!

I want to know if the fresh install off the CD will work?

By the way when you do a fresh install from CD what version number is it.

 

[Castellon]

Look in the EU2/Scenario folder and tell me if there is a folder called "Save Games" exactly like that minus the quotes ofcourse.

Okay we are making progress, whe have got you able to play 1.06.

Now if you do a fresh install, then put the save directory in, then install the patch 1.07. then install the latest beta patch Nov 26.

How does that go?
