Installing/running US and UK help!

[AgentSmith5150 3]

Hello all

 

I have the UK international English CE installed with elite gfx right now. I just got a hold of the US collectors edition. I insert the first US disc and it does not give me the option to install. So it obviously sees that I have the game installed already.

 

My question is do I need to (somehow) force a second complete install of this version? Or can I just run the game as normal and then create a new account using the US key on the MP side? Will that screw anything up?

 

I tried creating another user account (running Vista Ultimate) and that didn't work. I tried exploring the disc and manually starting the setup .exe, and it still won't let me install the US with the other version on my computer.

 

Any ideas?

Heya Agent. I have both like you and can run US or UK from a single UK install. Just have to change your custom settings to point to either US servers or UK servers depending on which you want to play.

 

UK

network .lobby_ip = "eu.sacred2.net"
network .lobby_port = 6800

 

or

 

US

network .lobby_ip = "us.sacred2.net"
network .lobby_port = 6900

Awesome, thanks man! that was nice and painless

 

Now it's just a quick cfg switch on the desktop to swap where I go.

 

wow, there really is NOTHING happening on the US side O_o about 20 servers vs sometimes 200 on the EU side.

Guess you didn't see my post in your thread over in the SIF.

 

EDIT:

opps.....That what I get for checking D.A.R.K forum threads before checking into the SIF forum

 

glad it worked for you

Agent, I'm glad you got the setup going. Man, is this game ever demanding on our patience huh ^^ I'm curious, why did you go and buy an american server copy rather than another EU? Did you know that American servers were much smaller population?
