Queries about Crusader Kings being free

[SaxonCamel]

I logged into my GamersGate account for the first time in many months and realised I had Crusader Kings and Deus Vult for free. Was this an offer from Paradox or Gamersgate, because I honestly don't remember?

More importantly though, is it ok to patch it normally? - Gamersgate says something about changing reg-edit and im not sure why.

Thanks

(i posted here because i only just found my product key)

IIRC the reg fix is only for the original CK. Since you have DV too, you just install them both and then apply the last DV patch from the forum.

thanks for that info. though i dont understand how to install the DV 2.1 patch. do i place it in CK or DV folder? either way i get a graphics error, some image missing.

I think you should have installed DV over CK, leaving you with only one folder. Then you would extract the 2.1 patch over that. It's been a while though, so I'll move this to the CK forum where hopefully someone will know for sure.

Yeah, DV should get installed over CK. Then you put the patch in the CKV folder and pick "Extract to this folder" and say "Yes to all" when it prompts you to overwrite.

From there you can play it, install a mod, or install JSGME and use that to swap between mods.
