Technical Problem with the DLC the Saxons

[unmerged(129811)]

I bought King Arthur and the Saxons DLC from Gamersgate and started up King Arthur. King Arthur worked fine but when I open the Saxons, it starts up, then windows says it crashes... I am excited about the druids DLC but, I am not sure it will work since the Saxons doesn't. :wacko:

Add the 2 games together in one folder. Then it will work.

Hi, I've got the same issue. But I can't find where exactly I installed the Saxons DLC. Does anyone know the path it defaults to if downloaded from gamersgate? I'm afraid I have also removed the temporary files. :s

Should have been more observant....

Nvm found it. Reinstalling. Had to redownload...

Will this problem be fixed in the future? I was interested in the game until I discovered that you need to find fixes in order to load the game.

As long as you tell it to install to the right folder (the existing King Arthur one) it should be fine.

According to the other thread the correct folder would be "C:\Program Files (x86)\Paradox\King Arthur -The Role Playing Wargame"...correct?

Do you have to do this with Druids also?

 

[frags]

Yes unfortunately you have to.

I have something to report. Installing it to the right folder doesn't work for me. I use Win7 64bit and when I install to the correct King Arthur directory, The Druids shortcut just loads vanilla. I checked in properties, the shortcut is correct. BUT if I install it to another directory and copy & paste it over the King Arthur directory(choose to over write everything), it works perfectly. It might seem my win 7 doesn't overwrite a few files from the installer.

I had that issue as well, please check this thread

BUT here is the catch, do you also See SAXONS AND DRUIDS? MY druids install overwrote Saxons

I had the same problem but here is the solution:

1. Install the expansion into EXACTLY the same directory. Even if you select your original King Arthur folder the dialog suggests creating a subdirectory named King Arthur which is wrong. Remove it manually, install and launch.

Here is my correct path:

"D:\Games\King Arthur - The Role-Playing Wargame\KingArthur.exe" win gamestartmode:saxon

If you don´t remove the suggested path it would have looked like:
"D:\Games\King Arthur - The Role-Playing Wargame\King Arthur\KingArthur.exe" win gamestartmode:saxon

...which is totally wrong
