2.1 is for the Deus Vult expansion only. It cannot be applied to Crusader Kings without DV.

Are you sure? Is the loading screen that of a guy in Armour holding a sword with the words Deus Vult over him? Or is it of many men with flags?

Its a guy holding a sword over his head and some guys holding cross staffs in the back

then you don't have Deus Vult. A Deus Vult loading screen should show a group of men with a "Jerusalem Cross" (maybe).

edit: I mean a Kingdom of Jerusalem banner. Sorry, my memory isn't what it used to be. Because I don't have Deus Vult myself

Easy way to check: if the minimap has a ledger button (with bride finder) in between the zoom in and zoom out buttons, you have DV. Otherwise you don't.

The main menu will also report version 2.0 or 2.1 if DV is installed.

If he is asking what I think he is asking, given he says hes not that savvy with programs and theres no instructions I have seen - take the .rar file you get and extract it into the main Crusader Kings folder - either by putting the .rar file in the folder and extracting to "here" or by choosing the option to pick an extract path and browsing to find your CK exe file. You will need Winrar program to do this. Google it if you dont have it.

i.e. C:\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings

The unzipped files will overwrite the original files, so just hit "Yes to all" when it asks you if its OK to overwrite the files. When you load up the game next time, it should display 2.1 in the top right corner of the main screen.

Most mods are installed in a similar fashion. But do check your install version before you do it - installing a DV patch over a vanilla CK install would probably be bad. Though recoverable by simply reinstalling.

Given that he's asking for the ledger, which is in unpatched DV versions as well, I doubt OP has DV.

Applying the 2.1 beta to a CK game results in an unplayable game.

The loading screen of CK also says Deus Vult. When they made CK, they had no idea that one day they would make an expansionpack called Deus Vult

This is the loading screen of Deus Vult

Deus Vult can be bought at Gamersgate

I heartily recommend the DVIP add-on after you get the DV.

Forgot which add-on it was, but I have one where the Kingdom of Aquitaine is creatable. Anyone who can remind me?

 

[Snaake]

I think just the DVIP mod is enough for that.

DVIP + Addon.
The DVIP without addon has no additional kingdoms.
