hello,

I love there is an update to Settlers2 since I have had so many fond memories of this game and quite incredible there is active involvement to update this. Very awesome. I very much looking forward to enjoying this update.


Problem...

I am having a very difficult time understanding what I need to do to install this.

F.A.Q. is entirely in a foreign language that I do not understand. Unfortunately, only language I know is English. I tried to put the F.A.Q. through Google Translate and it would not work.

Trying to find direction on what I need to do to install this update. I can not find it.


I appreciate any help.

Search YouTube - channel:Spikeeins and those videos are either called how to install rttr on windows or how to install on
Mac (can't provide a video link ATM)

Hello Skybee,

the unbelievable Spike has created a Video to your questions:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYYx5XJbX64&index=4&list=PLB59CA3B7DBDABA68

On the left side on this page you taste the "Downloads"-Link and choose your Version and download it.
Then unzip the downloaded file and add the original siedler2-directories "data" and "gfx", exactly like in that Video.

If you don't have those directories, you can get it from the web-page

bestoldgames

It's the complete Programm, where you can copy those directories.

At last you start the s25client.exe
...then it should be run...

best greatings

Well done. Appreciate the fast responses.

I always loved this old video game. I was about 10 years old when I started playing the game on MSDOS and just loved it. Still, 24 years later, it peaks my interest. Very unique civilization game. Nothing else out there like it that I could find.

I hope your solutions will work.

I will try that as soon as I can. Busy at the moment with family.

I will give an update when all said and done.

Thanks again!

Well, S2 is just ~20 years old :D

---

Thanks!

I finally got some free time here to try this out. Installation and game start successful! Thanks again!

Music does not play. I tried to get some of the music to play in the Music menu without success. When I close the music window, an error automatically shows saying "Specified filed could not be saved" and then the game crashes.

Is there a quick easy fix to the music? The old MIDI music really brought it home for me.

Appreciate the time! Thanks again.

use the rttr.sh(lin) or rttr.bat(win)

---

---

No luck.

Ran the rttr.bat to update everything and still no music.

I uninstalled then reinstalled RTTR and then ran rttr.bat again. No music.

Sound effects work, but no music. Same error happens when I leave the Music window. I hear the sound effects very good. Menu says the music should be enabled.

I have today and tomorrow free to help figure this out. Give a yell if there is anything I can do to help.

Thanks!

If helps any... my OS is Windows XP Professional.

Download those files: https://github.com/Return-To-The-Roots/s25client/tree/master/RTTR/MUSIC/SNG

And put them in the same folder (RTTR => MUSIC => SNG)

---

---

Downloaded the .GOG files, moved them to the folder, and music still does not work. Sound effects work, but just no music.

Sorry for the delayed response here. I only have the free time to do this when at my sister's house. I will be here for today and possibly next 2 days to help any I can to figure this out. This is very minor problem so no worries.

Are there any files I can upload to help resolve this?



I have enjoyed this new version of Settlers 2. I love the improvements, options, and features in Settlers 2 Return to the Roots. In many ways, the improvements made in Return to the Roots makes Settlers 2 almost better than the Settlers 2 10th anniversary edition, but Return to the Roots needs much more polishing to truly be better than the 10th anniversary edition.

Again, I absolutely love the improvements, features, and options made in Return to the Roots. These features in game and in the options menu are exactly what was needed for Settlers 2 to really shine. If the 10th anniversary edition had the improvements, features, and options you made in Return to the Roots, then this would make for the perfect Settlers 2 upgrade.

I look forward to seeing what you achieve for Return to the Roots.

The work is very much appreciate! :)
