Maybe installing the game before you try to install the patch might be a solution

[Filling25]

Could it be some problem with the language version?
(for example that multiplayer recognizes the english language version of the game, but no other laguage versions)
These are often sources for errors with patches.

Try buying the game rather than downloading it.

[statistica]

reinstalled several times, its the patch won't unbundle

anyone got it?

[29clepayJainync]

yeah, it won't install

[vipbunter]

its a system conflict of some sort sloww, I thought one of the whizkids here might know

[trubreTab]

Give it up horse, you got put on a black list by Sid Meier for your antics here, no multiplay for you ever!!

AH:

I'm afraid you misunderstand. If you already have Civ and want to upgrade, use this instead of the patch that you are trying to install.

First download the patch you want (If you have ToT you should not have to download the first two parts of the MGE patch). Then unzip (using an unzipping utility such as WinZip) the files to the directory in which your version of Civ II resides (by default usually C:\MPS\Civ2). The next time you start a game you should see the difference. All files go directly into the Civ2 folder and if prompted to overwrite existing files yes to all. Click on the link to download:

Civ2 MGE 1 (3.87 MB)
Civ2 MGE 2 (1.66 MB)
Civ2 MGE 3 (1.41 MB)
Civ2 MGE 4 (3.21 MB)
Civ2 MGE 5 (2.47 MB) All these files are ZIPs so it should work for you.

the message I get is "installshield cannot find a copy of Civilisation II multiplayer Gold edition on this computer. Aborting installation."

Hi Trev

but if I upgrade to MGE will I still be able to play with finbar?

[giDdfezP]

I'm alive and well in Italy, Trev, and never happier. We've bought a place here, so we'll be here for some considerable time. I just wish Horse would solve his unzipping problem - I wish he'd stop doing it in the street - and get back online.

As far as civ 2 goes I think I used to copy contents of MGE folders into civ2 folder, allowing overwrite of files as necessary, not using any installation program, just doing it manually. Have not played civ2 once since civ4 came along though, civ2 no longer holds any interest for me and that perversion that some called civ3 holds less interest than that. So your belief is that his pc is too antiquated to play Civ 2, which he's played for years, and to play Civ 4 instead?

And I thought I was an idiot.


And Oerdin, wrong again.

Hi Trev. No, I don't think he has. Or, maybe he has, but he's too busy winding up the North Koreans to play Civ with me.
