I have just buy this game.

There is some updates(/ or some files, i am not sure) that i have to take?

One is some 1.05? But there are different 1.05-files? How i know, which edition i have?

Is this 1.05 only update (or something) i have to take?

How i know that i have succeed to take update? Is there some info how i take update?

There is also some EEP? But that is not the same than 1.05? Do i have to take that too?

First question is what version are you using? That will tell you which update to use.

The EEP is not 1.05, it is a new scenario designed by fans. Paradox do not accpet any responsibility for the product, but since the game is fairly moddable it should be reliable.

I have now take north american 1.05 and uk 1.05.

I can not use UK 1.05, it do not work.

North American do not work, it do not find game.

Is it so, that i have to install eu2 to some specific place?

This is eng-language version, so 1.05 have to be uk or na?

I think the HK version is a another English version. In the Start menu for the NA version it includes link for the SF Website, does your version provide this?

HK?

"In the Start menu for the NA version it includes link for the SF Website, does your version provide this?"

In my "start menu"(?):
Tutorial
Single player
Multiplayer
Credits
Exit

Do this mean that i have UK version? If, why this 1.05UK do not work? Do i have to install this game to some specific place?

Or do i have to donwload update-file to some specific place...

I just dont know...

I just want to play...

Sorry I should be a bit clearer. HK is the Hong Kong version. Or at least I heard there was a Hong Kong version in English.

When I say start menu I mean the windows start menu. So in my case I go Start>Strategy First>Europa Universalis 2 and there is gives me the option to go to the company web site.

What i lose?

You can play without it, it is just more buggy. However I think I know what the problem is. when youi install the patch how far do you get?

King crackpot theories presents:

Why is the patch not installing?

Well you got to install the patch one of the things it asks for is the path. The installer does supply a defaut path wich is C:/program files/Strategy First/Europa Universalis 2. However if you have not installed EUII in the default path then the patch can not install in the path. So if you are not in the default path what you must do is figure out where it is. Use the find tool in windows and Look for Europa (hopefully there wont be toomany things called that). The tellt he patch this path. Hopefully problem solved.

You should have the Scandinavian version of the game. It is in English too.
Use that patch

Just download it and double clck on it.....

As you have tried the wrong patches on the game then it might be better if you uninstalled the game and reinstalled it again first.

Using your super powers agian. That's not fair on us poor mortals.

If you don't install to the default path, the patch should still find the right path since it gets the path from the windows registration database

That never worked for me. I changed were I instaled EU II so it sat in the same folder as EU I. Everytime I patched it I had to put the path in again. Like EUII was sitting on D: and the patch would faithfully try to install itself of C:.

Interesting

My experiences are with the Strategy First version only.

(Of course, if I manually renamed my EUII folder to something else, the registry entry would still point to the old and no longer correct path, but that isn't what you did, is it?)

When came round to installing I specified the following path
D:\Paradox Entertainment
This was the same folder as EUI was in (no need for an evil Yankee import that time ). That was all I did, every time I came to patch it though it was the default path, starting with C:. Don't ask me why, it was just the way it was.
