I do konw about the cheat menu, though it didn't occur to me to try using that to fix the problem.

How do you remove the cheat options afterward though? The cheat dialog options remain after disabling cheats again.

edit, figured it out, type 'nocheatmenu' in the console.

Only beta patches needed new games. Saves are generally compatible in every release version.

Just wondering: Does having the cheatmenu on (or cheat mode on) prevent you from unlocking steam achievements? I'm assuming (and hoping) it does, but want to be sure- I hope that this didn't prevent me from earning any.

Steam did indeed find a few corrupt files after this update. Thanks for that tip!

Against waves of bots? That's not in F&S

um yes it is. It's the new captain co-op mode.

Also, I'd prefer a game type mod to just change the game type and not add all kinds of random new stuff- e.g. I still want it to be the swads and the nords and the khergits, etc.

The NPC will not have the name given to you by the lord when you walk up to him. The name comes up during dialog.

You are looking for an NPC called Nervous Man. He will only appear during the day time and will usually be off in a corner or hiding inside/behind a building.

There's no difference between the steam and non steam versions. Why would you hope that so strongly? Not to say this issue wasn't a mistake, because it was, but still.

Steam is not bad, it's not evil, it doesn't hurt your computer, it doesn't sap excessive resources unless you've got a pentium 3 and 128 MB of RAM- it is NOT hurting your game's performance, no matter how much you'd like to believe it. Most of the bad things people say a bout it are just myths and lies spread by haters. If you didn't want to use steam in the first place, why didn't you get the game from another source?

To make a long story short:

Lords from different factions keep joining my faction right after being kicked out of their original faction.
I do not want them to be a part of my faction, yet when i find them in my cities they have automatically joined my faction without my approval!

How do I end this frustrating problem?

This is a bug, and it's actually been fixed for the next patch. I submitted it a while ago.

Basically, if a lord *defects*, you have the option to reject them. But if they're exiled, they bypass the approval dialog. After the next patch, they will need to get your approval regardless of how they came to your faction.

However, if that key is only accepted by steam I can't play it without steam installed in a computer, and this "little" app consumes a lot of computer resources while running

If steam is consuming enough resources to actually affect the game's performance visibly, then your PC wasn't hot enough to run the game to begin with.

If you have a computer well above minimum spec, then Steam becomes a useful tool. can access the internet in a full screen game without alt tabbing, which is great for me in a few cases of games that like to crash when I alt tab from full screen.

The resources consumed by steam while a game is running are trivial on any modern system. Heck, my virus scanner uses more memory and CPU time.

But I thought you should know, your "rusty" English is better than that of most native speakers.

They hotfixed the problem not asking for validation if you have one of those keys and play the game from your steam account, but I don't think that's the right way to do it.

They are still working on a real game patch, where they will probably address the issue more fully. The hotfix was just an emergency patch to allow the people who bought the game during this steam sale to play.

This patch has fixed some of weird issues i've been having with the latest ATI drivers, but I'm still having issues of a few objects and textures randomly not loading.

And it's up on Steam now.

some may kill me for pointing this out, but you can unlock achievements vs bots on a listen server.while the bots aren't TOTALLY pushovers, you might find it easier this way. (Also easier to test if this is the case- just make it a 1v1 battle)

Generally speaking I also find it much easier to use first person mode when fighting mounted.

Exception to this is if you're using a slashing weapon, but it's rare that anyone would do that.
