No Kingdoms
I bought the package and have only got Med II, no Kingdoms. I have re-installed it, verified the cache, made a new desktop shortcut - still nothing. Kingdoms is not in my Steam game list, nor is it to be seen from within my PC. The only reason I know I have it is because Steam tells me so when I go to download it again. So I have paid for two games and only have one. I think that calls for at least a response here.

In order to find Kingdoms, you actually need to play Medieval 2, then in the Steam GUI, it will show you the campaigns from Kingdoms as well as Medieval 2 itself. However, like other people, I wasn't able to start any Kingdoms campaign, due to the recent patch.

I am only getting Med II. The only way I can see Kingdoms, I have now discovered, is from within Steamapps. In the data I can see America, Teutonic, etc - but they won't launch even from there. The idea of getting the Kingdoms GC mod working with it - my intention when buying this - is so distant a dream it can't be seen by Hubble.

quote from the sticky post:
Note: The Kingdoms expansion game has been migrated into the base game and will no longer show in your library. It can be accessed by selecting the desired expansion type from the Medieval II: Total War game which should now be in your library (assuming it previously wasn't).

Is that the links when you want to play Med 2 and it brings up a menu? I wanted to play Kingdoms but got a list of games under play for Med 2. i just want to make sure.

You can launch it from your library. Click on MTW in the list on the left then select the Kingdoms expansion you want to play.

Have you heard what I even said? Read my post all over again. And it turns out actually you can get Kingdoms to work despite the patch. If you tried loading up a Kingdom campaign from the Steam menu and it doesn't work (or maybe if it doesn't even appear at all), right-click on Medieval 2 in your library, go to the properties tab, and then press verify game integrity. It should be able to work.

Its you who are not listening. I KNOW the downloaded package is ONE game. I can only access the Kingdoms part of it from within Steam and even then it will not load. I have verified the cache. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I have finally given up, gone back to the non-Steam White Label version of Kingdoms/Med II I have (and had forgotten about) and gone through the entire laborious process of loading it, plus all the KGCM versions up to 4.3. That has worked. I no longer need nor want the Steam version, but it burns me that I paid good money for it.

What do you mean it will not load, what does it tell you does it go blank does nothing come up at all?

Well, I guess all that's left is calling Steam service. Seriously, I don't know how you ended up so unlucky, especially when solutions are given and they don't work.

Just some info:

I've managed to start Kingdoms with SS 6.4 mod. The problem was that executable named "kingdoms.exe" could not be found, nor could be "launcher.exe".

Solution: copy "medieval2.exe" and rename it "kingdoms.exe". Now I could use SS launcher to successfully start the mod and play 12 turns into the new campaign.

Hopefully it helps!

This thread has nothing to-do with mods...

How very non-helpful that comment is Aarontheshirt. Unlike the revelation that you can, in fact, get the SS 6.4mod to work with the Steam version of Kingdoms and how to do it. Thanks for that Puffster - innumerable SS fans will be relieved of considerable frustration. Now if you can tell me where to find a single download link of the said SS mod that isn't a Torrent and doesn't come in six different parts I may put you on my Christmas card list. Aaronshirt - go and ... colour-code your sock drawer or something.

But not one person asked about SS on this thread its irrelevant. If he posted that on a thread actually asking how to get SS working on the new med 2 i would congratulate him/her.

Dushka, there was a recent update that should fix some of the problems that the previous patch brought (like missing sounds). Try the game again and see if it might work.
