CKII + Old Gods (only) - why can't I play Old Gods?

unmerged(174159) · Jul 25, 2013

Hi,

Bought CKII and Old Gods expansion today. Installed what the installer assured me was the most recent patch on CKII before running it, followed this up with loading the ingame store and telling it to 'reinstall' my Old Gods DLC. Old Gods appears on the gameloader as selected, however in the game I cannot start earlier than 15 Sept 1066 or play as a pagan ruler. Please help!

You are running on an outdated version of the game. According to the setup.log you are on version 1.06 and at least version 1.10 is required for the dlc to work.

If you are using gamersgate, download the patch from here: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum...ELEASED-Checksum-WQLL-NOT-for-problem-reports!

If you are on Steam, try verifying the integrity of game cache.

Open your Steam games library
Right click on "Crusader Kings II" and select "properties"
Click on the tab "Local Files"
Now click on "Verify integrity of game cache"
Wait until this process is finished, if any files are missing/corrupted it will notify you at the end of the process and automatically start with redownloading these files

I figured that might be it (the version thing) when I saw the checksum, but was uncertain thus I asked. I followed the link for the latest download, obviously the installer linked from the game loader decided I needed the previous version before this one. Thanks for your time anyway, I will post here again only if updating does not resolve it for some reason. (I am on Gamersgate version btw)

No problem

That thread should get you on 1.103 and thus enable you to play The Old Gods, if not let me know.

Enjoy the game!

Note that you can't dial the time dial at the top of the screen back prior to 1066. The Old Gods game start is a single start date that should be listed in the historical start dates on the left side of the screen. There are no start dates available between 867 and 1066.

Hi again,

Old Gods works but I've got a buttload of black circles and shields where coats of arms should go. It doesn't affect the game too much but it is getting rather irritating. I am posting here again since the list up above contained a bundle of 'missing texture' comments and I wondered what advice you would have + I don't have to repost information!

IcratoX · Jul 31, 2013

Those entries in the log have got nothing to do with that further, what you're having is a known issue which can be solved by following the instructions of issue #7 in this post: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?585481-Known-Issues-and-Solutions-to-them.

Well I feel dumb. Thank you anyway.
