"AHD not found"

[Sturmwaffles]

I recently have been working through problems hosting an online AHD game for my mate, and I've forwarded my ports and now it simply states: "Not the same Version"...we both purchased the game on Steam, so we attempted to just reinstall the patch. The Manual patch could not find a game install...

Any help? we really want to play =/

 

[Sturmwaffles]

Pardon, please explain.

 

[Sturmwaffles]

If you mean we both get the AHD not found, then yes, we do.

 

[Sturmwaffles]

So what did I do wrong if they're different...? random chance...? that's a bit odd

 

[Sturmwaffles]

I have "OJGE". everyone else does too?

Current Version is: Victoria 2 v2.1 (ULLL)

Make sure you have patched by the launcher.

AFAIK the checksum for Steam AHD 2.1 is OJGE and you should not patch through the launcher as it will say "AHD not found".

Does your friend have the same one? Note that if you have been in a game and resigned back to the main menu your checksum will change, you need to exit the game and reopen it.

Edit: And yes, OJGE us the correct Steam one.

Oh, steam.
Nevermind then. :>

I bought AHD on gamersgate and got the 2.1 (ULLL) and my friend bought it on Steam and got the (OJGE). Does this mean that we can't play online? Or do one of us have to reinstall the game? Seems weird that you can't play online together just because you bought the game at different sites.

at the moment the games have different checksums so you can't play multiplayer.

It is weird, and it isn't the way it should be. Hopefully they'll get it fixed soon.

he could copy his steam install into a backup folder, then overwrite the contents of that with your files. you can launch the .exe from anywhere, so its not a big deal if its not in the install directory except when your patching

i have the same problem but not with multiplayer. I download the 2.1 update manually, i have the steam version and running windows 7. I download the update and then it starts to install then half way thru the install it says ADH not found.

steam updates the game and it is already 2.1.

My friendand I both have two different checksums, both of us having steam. We've tried re-installing--I have OJGE, but my friend does not have the same version yet we are both are on steam, so it should automatically update and correct itself, no?

Also, I have the problem that Steam didn't give me a house divided CD key, and when I try to DL the manual from the Paradox launcher, it says I don't have HD. Yet, clearly when i play it, I do. Should I report this to steam, if so which department? They only seem to be concerned about billing issues?
