Hi all!



As you may have heard, a few weeks ago the Gamespy servers had to shut down and it was no longer possible to play multiplayer on MEDIEVAL II However we are happy to announce that players who own this Total War classic on Steam can now play multiplayer again.



Players who purchased the game elsewhere can use their existing Gamespy key to redeem the new Steam version. If you own the physical CD version of the game, the key should be included in the package, most likely printed on the back of the manual.

If you purchased a digital version from a distributer other than Steam, your key should have been sent to you on purchase of the game. If you cannot locate the key, please contact the distributer you purchased the game from.



It may take a short time for all Gamespy keys to be registered on Steam, if your code is rejected please wait 48 hours and try again.



Save files from previous versions can be copied from the “…\saves\” folder in the previous installation folder to “…\Steam\SteamApps\common\Medieval II Total War\saves”.





All multiplayer functionality updated to use Steamworks, as the Gamespy service has now been discontinued.

French, German, Italian and Spanish language support added to Steam.

Launcher removed. Selecting the title from the Steam library will now launch directly into the game.

Medieval II: Total War - Kingdoms content is now displayed as DLC for the Medieval II main game, rather than as a separate listing in the Steam game library. You may notice that Kingdoms is no longer listed in your library, but you will automatically be granted access to the DLC package. The four Kingdoms campaigns are now accessible as launch options when right-clicking Medieval II in the Steam library.
