How to play with an old warband version on steam / How to play NI on steam - Yvain - 03-08-2013

Traduction française/ French translation

Quite a lot of players needed some help about it (since 0.5.1 update doesn't work with the last warband version), so I guess a short quide about that could be useful. Playing a warband mod on steam enables the steam overlay (chat steam while you play, steam buddies can see you as "In-game : Mount & Blade Warband, etc.)
Current NI version (0.5.1) is not compatible with 1.157/1.158 but does work with 1.153. So :

If you want to keep the latest warband version on steam for other mods, and add the 1.153 version on steam as a non-steam game :
Steam updates your warband version automatically (unless you have disabled it).
You need to download the 1.153 version. You can find it in Senni's post : Here is it : http://download.taleworlds.com/mb_warband_setup_1153.exe
Execute it (initialization might take a few minutes), set the Destination path (for example your program files folder, or the steam/SteamApps/common folder) and install.
Go to your steam library. On the bottom-left corner, click "+ Add a game" then Browse, select the folder you chose when you set the destination path and click the mb_warband.exe file. Click "add selected programs". Once you have done that, you will find the game in your steam library. You can rename to Mount & Blade 1.153 it if you want.
Playing warband this way should let you use the ingame steam chat.

If you want to keep only the warband version which works with NI (1.153) :
Check you steam library, right click on Warband, "view downloadable content"

Then select "updates", then select the "Do not automatically update this game" option.
This done, you need to go back to the 1.153 version.
http://download.taleworlds.com/mb_warband_setup_1153.exe
Once it is downloaded, open the folder, Copy everything, and paste in steam/SteamApps/common/mountblade warband (and merge/replace if you are asked to). Warband version will be changed to 1.153 and the Native module will be updated too. You can now play NI via steam, or any other mod (other modules must have remained in place).

Alternative if this .exe file doesn't work for you :

For next warband or NI updates you will have to follow devs'instructions Smile

In any case, you don't need the cRPG launcher (unless you play cRPG...).
