Guys,

I've just installed the game, it starts ok, but every text I get is "unknown string wanted".... What happened? how can I fix this? I know the menus are ins .csv files, but I don't know how to unpack them from the CD. Please, help!

Tks!
 
The installer unpacks them.
have you installed the patch as well?
 
Same disease

:mad:

I bought CK in Finland and coming home to France ; I had the same problems as described by several forum readers : "Unknown string wanted" and the game installer was stating it was installing Victoria instead of CK...

When I tried to joiin the forum, as no clear answer was given to my problem ; it took more then a week for the forum master to validate my account.

In the meantime, I had been sending back the game to Pan Vision Oy in Finland : cost for the letter to Finland : 28 €.

I hope I soon get another game very soon, that will be functioning.

But, I confess I am angry and hope the game is worth it ; because what happened is no good publicity for Paradox.

By the way, I own EU I, EU II, HOI, Victoria,... Well now I have to re-install Victoria as CK has screwed up everything.

Not very satisfactory !
 
I would make sure you buy the copy from a legit dealer, most people who have had this problem have obtained a Pirated copy. ;)
 
Call me a pirat

Well, strangely enough, I bought the game at a Stockmann in Tampere Finland, if you believe that they are dealing piracy material then call your lawyer and let me know !

I have seen the same stupid answer coming from your side. such answer does not help your faithfull customers.

It just adds to the frustration.

Still angry and starting to be irritated !
 
I in fact did not call you a Pirate!
I said most others who have had this problem, had it as a result of having a pirated copy. All of them IIRC.
Since you have returned the game, why not buy it locally or direct from Paradox.
That way you are sure.
 
Unofficial versions sold officially ?

I still do not get it : I bought the game in a shop in Finland, at Stockmann, one of the most famous shop in Finland ; it is presented as a usual game with the name of Paradox on it.

So, why do you say it is not a legal version.

How can one know about this ?

You propose that I buy another one ?

Yes, maybe, but, what about the 42 € already spent ? And how can I be sure that the next one is official and works ?

This is why I spoke about lawyers : if there are unoffcial version you should act, but not blame your customers.

When I did send back the game it was in the hope of getting a correct version back. What are my chances ?

:confused:
 
You said you sent it back to Pan Vision I assumed that meant you had returned the game.
therfore you had a refund and could purchase the game localy or direct from Paradox.

And again I did not claim it was an illegal copy! I said everyone else that recieved that particular error recieved it because they were attempting to install a Pirate version.

If you have problems with this "new" copy feel free to post back here with details of the problem, not really much I can help you with untill you have the CD in your hands.
 
my buddy has the same problem, vicky installing instead of ck while its the ck autorun oO

I didnt see his cd, but he's 37 years and dont know a thing about computers, I dont think he pirates games...

Anyway last time I met him, he gave up on the game. :(
 
ya, this "unknown string" problem happens on the rip version of the game. sad to say but if you get the XXXX version the game runs like normal. damn warez people. :(

Could you check a few things with your friend?

- What publisher is it from? The publisher logo/name should be printed on the box and on the CD.
- Where did he get it? Was it from a local store, direct from Paradox or somewhere else?
- Have he tried a clean reinstall, to see if it's repoduceable?
- What system is he running (OS, OS language...)?

I'd be obliged :)
 
If it is a Pirate copy then be honest and tell us that as well, we will cast no blame on you for the sins of your friend. :)
 
From what I've gathered so far, this kind of bugs happens with pirated versions only and I never saw his copy, maybe its an illegal one, but you should give the benefit of doubt to someone you dont know.
 
When did I not?

If you refer to the person above you, they are not banned from this board which they assuredly would be if we were not giving them the benefit of the doubt. ;)

The person that started the thread is banned since in another thread he admitted it was a Pirate copy he had.
 
Hi guys.

I have just returned from Hong Kong where I've bought Crusader Kings, distributed by Typhoon Games (HK) Ltd.

The version on the cd is the 1.02b.

The box comes with both the Paradox and the Typhoon logos, the CD, a 60 page manual in english and a warranty card.

The intro and the game itself seem to run fine, but...

The problems:
a) It states I'm installing Victoria instead of CK.
b) After entering the game, ALL text comes up as "unknown string".
c) I've downloaded patch 1.03 from the Typhoon site and patch 1.03b from this site (both english versions) and both say that I don't have CK installed.

Hope you can help me out...
Thx

EDIT: the CD states "Made in Hong Kong", it's got the copyrights of both Paradox and Typhoon and on the writable side it's got "LR016328A Crusader Kings". The warranty card's registration number is 23460.

Typhoon is only for sale in the Asian market and will work fine there.
Your language files and windows version are most likely not compatible.
Same thing with Snowballs Russian version.
Also patches for those versions are only available from those publishers.

I suggest you contact the publisher of that version for assistance.
In your case Typhoon games:

Okay keep me updated if they have a solution for you.
