bugs...

[King Zulu]

What I mean is that before the patch, the preference controls either had no effect on gameplay, or only sporadic effect. Either they wouldn't work at all or sometimes they would work and sometimes not. The main example was the music - I couldn't turn it off. After the patch, some controls still do not work at all, but they never work - I don't have to go into the Prefs panel each time and hope I get lucky. I can't stop the animation, but I can turn off the music.

I got two new bugs - an "out of memory error" when I tried to save games, and a complete system freeze when I quit. I tried an old-school Mac fix that got some interesting results. I threw out the Civ3 preferences file. The game created a new one the next time I played, and voila! it can now retain my preferences. Many still don't work, but at least the game knows what my preferences are. The "out of memory error" and the freezes were not affected.

FYI - I'm using Carbon Lib 1.2.5, patch 1.17g, and OS 9.1.

Which ones don't work? Be specific -- otherwise odds decrease that I'll be able to reproduce it and fix it. It would also be helpful if you could mention what you expect a certain preference to do. There's always a chance that you're misunderstanding a particular feature.
