I tried to join a server this morning only to see that a new patch/version of the game came out. What do I need to do step by step to install and apply the latest update?
4. If you havent't got NW so far you download 'Latest Version' on the 'Taleworlds Download Server 2' ( about 700 mb ) --> this is the latest version so this should work getting you on the servers
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. If you're version is 'outdated' you have to scroll down on the download page and look on 'Latest Patch' and download it from 'Taleworlds Server 2'
6. Then you have to give the download/patch data the right direction ( normally its finding its path alone ) and then you download and install the newest version
Please could someone post a step by step download instruction on how to update Mount and Blade: Napoleonic Wars. I need the latest version of the game according to what it says when I try to join a game. Run me through the process of downloading it and running the patch.
I bought Mount and Blade: Warband and Napoleonic Wars on amazon.com. I can play Mount and Blade: Warband. But whenever I try to join a server on Napoleonic Wars it says I need version 1.006 and that I have version 0.000. It says to visit the download page for the patches and updates. So then I...
You can download from Taleworlds without re-purchasing if that is your question. If that isn't your question, I don't know. As you have registered NW, it appears you have a legitimate key for that; without the icon for WB or you responding to where you bought WB, it isn't as clear that you have a legitimate key for WB so you may need to buy a legit key if you don't have one.
Again, as my post stated, it is unclear what of the suggested solutions you have tried or where exactly you purchased the games from. With all that folks have posted above, you have more than enough information to solve whatever hiccups you are experiencing...if you own legitimate keys to both Warband and the Napoleonic Wars DLC, that is.
I do own a legit key for WB and NW. I bought the game on Amazon which was the biggest mistake. If you could, please direct me with a link to where I may download both without re-purchasing. And just BTW I have scoured the forums and tried every possible solution including the ones that are in this thread. So no I am stuck if you cannot help me as it looks I am indeed running out of options/solutions and its starting to look like I just wasted nearly 20 good hard earned dollars.
MovingtoSteam as a solution to problems is backwards. There tends to be a higher likelihood of launch issues of Warband (et al.) through a Steam installation than one from outside of it.
I'm not entirely sure of the things you have tried here. Your best bet is a full un-install. After uninstalling, you might also consider deleting the hidden data the game keeps in %APPDATA%\Mount&Blade Warband\ (like your MP profiles and control settings). Also to delete would be the rgl_config.txt file found in your Documents\Mount&Blade Warband\ folder. You might also go into your Windows Registry and delete all the key information stored there to try for a fully fresh start.

Hit the Windows Key and R, which will bring up a Run... window.
Then type "regedit" in that window and press enter.
You should also see an entry for NW, which you can delete, too
Then install the Warband downloaded directly from Taleworlds and then the NW downloaded directly from FSE (neither downloaded from Amazon, if those were causing you troubles, and both full installations, not patches).
That should give you the freshest possible, and it certainly should work.
If not, then did you buy directly from Amazon or from a re-seller? It is possible that your key(s) is not legitimate.
I have bought Warband and Napoleonic Wars on amazon.com but I want to get it on steam. Is there a way I can redeem something to download it on steam? I think this might fix some problems im having starting the game. Information in this post. http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,241841.msg5795821.html#msg5795821
Isn't this the same issue you get from typing in the wrong CD-key?
Just check out the support area, there's a FAQ there, and I'm quite sure there's an answer to you problem there.
1.Click Start > Run
2.Enter regedit
3.A new window will open, browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > MountAndBladeWarbandKeys
4.Search the entry, serial_key_nw, make sure that the value is the same as your CD key. Also make sure that the key is separated correctly. Double click the entry and modify it until it is correct. Watch out for invisible spaces in the CD key.
5.If you are done with that, close the Registry Window and start the game, connect to the server and have fun playing!
This is the same author of another thread where Kashaka clearly stated he didn't purchase Warband along with NW.
The only way to resolve your issue is to buy Warband as well, since you need that serial key. It should've been clear from the beginning as I'm sure Amazon states it is an expansion.
I hope everyone else notices this before spending, they're just feeding a company money without being able to play the game.
install Warband from wherever you got it, it should be version 1.153, you can download it here;
http://download.taleworlds.com/mb_warband_setup_1153.exe
Meanwhile, download Version 1.005 of NW here
http://download.taleworlds.com/mb_warband_napoleonic_wars_setup_1006.exe
This way, you will have the latest version of both.(Unless you have it from Steam or another online distributor, in which case, you shuold have the latest versions)
