Problems with Gold Version on Steam

Try with this: http://www.1cfiles.com/XIII_Century/...atch.2.2.3.exe

OK - have tried everything. I have downloaded a fresh version of the game, installed the latest drivers, patched the game up to 2.2.1 and still the same problems. I manually installed the patch and the english patch as well but the game is not steam free. I tried to apply patch 2.2.3 but it said XIII Blood of Europe must be installed. I will try another steam trick and log on as administrator but that is about it. It just does the graphics configuration but stops before the game starts. Task Manager still says 'not responding'. If anyone experiences any similar problems let me know.

If you applied the 2.2.1 from the manual zip, the game must be free from steam. See if a "update" file (exe or bin) appears in the main directory. If yes try to connect to game server, the download of 223 will start automatically.

At last - success! I installed 221 and the english patch again and by turning off steam I then started the configuration tool from the game folder. This did the auto detect run and then I stared the game from that. I then logged on to the game server and upgraded the game to 2.2.3 patch as suggested. This now not only runs perfectly it also runs using steam. Many thanks Mitra and I hope no-one else has the same problems. Follow the guidance on this thread and you should crack it eventually.

remember to don't make the recover function of steam on the game, otherwise the changes are overwritten and you must make all again from the start.

Thanks Mitra - I will avoid starting the game using Steam to be on the safe side. Thanks for all your help.

I wasn't around for a while but my "XIII Century – Gold Edition" is gone...

Last year I bought "XIII Century – Gold Edition" on Steam. I never had much problems.
Except I wasn't able to start the game from the Steam program. I just did it manually. Also my gameplay houres etc were never saved on the Steam program.

Some time ago I formatted my pc and reinstalled steam.
"XIII Century – Gold Edition" was just... gone without any traces. It's like I never even bought it!

I just wrote this on the steam helpdesk, but you guys might wanted to know why I was away. Until now I also can't find my payment proof so I guess I'm in trouble.
