Play CTP2

Since it has become almost impossible to purchase Call To Power II at "real world" computer stores, the CTP2 Bureau now provides » links to online sources. You will find (and may contribute) information about mods in » Mod Doc

Language

Original Game

Even at online shops/marketplaces it might be impossible to obtain the program in every language. At the CTP2 Bureau you will also find » files and instructions needed to change the language of any installation of CTP2.

Apolyton Edition Translations

Call To Power II Apolyton Edition (currently in BETA stage) has been translated into a couple of languages - the files are included with the distribution. If you wish to play CTP2 AE only, you don't need the language files from this site - but you still need a legally purchased CD in any language to play the game.

Apolyton Edition Playtest

If you are playtesting CTP2 AE please remember to report your observations in the appropriate forum thread at Apolyton (look for the latest PROJECT: Playtest thread). If you experience crashes, please provide your crash.txt for debugging: To generate this file you need to find the entry EnableLogs in \ctp_program\ctp\userprofile.txt and set it to EnableLogs=Yes. If the game crashes you will find a crash.txt-file in the same folder. When reporting the crash in the forum providing the contents of this file is extremely useful for tracking down and fixing the bug.

Anyway with an unmodded game CTP2 AE already runs as good as or even better than the original Activision 1.11 patched version - most of the remaining issues are related to multiplayer/network functions and new modding features.
