This means that you installed the update on top of a very old version of the full game build (earlier than 1.4.x).

It shouldn't be possible, but it seems it is.

You need to uninstall the game, and install it using the full v1.05.06.01 installer. (You don't need to run the updater as well)

getting the same message sequence - I think -

have re-installed, the game earlier was working fine so the only change was to update to .02,05.00 and the sublime Porte dlc followed by patching to 02.05.1

Can't imagine it has any affect but I am running a test version of 'Kingdoms' but I don't think the cross-links have been created yet?

This indicates that your build has an old version of one of the game scripts (Functions.BSF) dating back to the v1.02.05 Swords and Scimitars update.

The v1.05.06 update will not update that build correctly, it is only designed to correctly update the v1.04.06 build. There is supposed to be code to prevent people from attempting to update earlier builds, and we are looking into why that code has not worked.

The game is now on v1.05.06. You need to uninstall the game and download and run the full v1.05.06.01 installer.

Instructions here: https://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=110301 (2nd post) You do not need to also run the updater.

You said you patched it with 02.05 patcher. If so, that is what will have messed up the build, as that is a very old patcher, dating to the release of Swords and Scimitars in September 2021.

I would recommend deleting all old updaters and installers from your system.

It is safer to always download the latest version from My Page.

ah that explains it, clearly wasn't being very sentient since that was an older patch than the one I had in any case
