patching

[WezZ]

Hi guys, I just bought this game and I was looking for patches and found v1.2 but when I want to install it it says "Cossacks 2" not found. Can someone help me ?

I have the same proplem. Being a Steam game I thought that it would be already patched, alas it is only v1.1. this problem is with all 'Cossacks 2' related things like mods and maps packs - if you try install any of these things it will say 'Cossacks 2 not found'. I fact I would extend the probelem to any 'Cossacks 2' related thing that uses an installer. Its almost like the compouter dosnt know it is there.

Keep in mind that it is a an old game, and take note that no verson of Cossacks 2 works properly on 64bit operating systems (Vista and 7) with the expection of the Steam one. it was not built for 64 bit OS. I think the installer looks for the file path for Windows XP and 2000 etc to try and find the game. As Vista and 7 use a different registry file paths the installer can't detect the game and therefore thinks it is not installled. Becuase of this I think that the problem can never be solved unless you play it on Windows XP. I was personally greatfull that steam gave one the works on windows 7!.

I recommend buying the stand alone expansition pack Battle for Europe as it is patched to the latest because it is an updated expaation pack and will contian all the oringal cossacks updates plus it own (this is the case with all expansion packs) - even though it might say v1 it still contians the oringal updates. I Hope this helped and others see this.

--I assumed you are using windows 7

In the forum for this game someone has posted a link to the 1.2 patch. You DL and copy and paste it into the C2 file. It has worked for me. There is also a link to the manuals

There must be a way to paste in new maps...

i have the game patched to V1.2 and it still won't work, but i don't have the game in steam but still it shouldnt be any differens.

Why the f*ck Steam version is an old version of the game?
Did they updated to 1.2 or still the same 1.1, I mean WTF support the damn game and your customers damn it.

I was going to buy, thank goodness I saw these threads now changed my mind.
