German release is extremely bugged

Shadondriel · Jul 27, 2007

I don't have any sound and misc options. Graphic options seem to be somewhat lesser too.

Did we have to wait a week longer just to get a broken version? :confused:

Scotsh · Jul 27, 2007

Lol, you beat me by 2 minutes

I got the same problems, can you test if you can use the "advanced start" option? Thats broken for me too.

And yes, i too got the "german version" today.

Shadondriel · Jul 27, 2007

never tried advanced starts before, going to check

Just noticed that you can't see the planets on the right side in the city screen in Final Frontier like in the demo. Seems to be broken too

Shadondriel · Jul 27, 2007

Can't place any cities, buildings, units etc. in advanced starts :eek:

And I can't get the advanced start interface away once I let everything autobuild. Can't even select cities or play the game

Scotsh · Jul 27, 2007

Just as i thought, so i think this thread -> http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=233715 and this thread -> http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=233920 can be merged with this thread here.
German release seems really screwed, could be interesting here in the next hours as thousands of german Civ4-fan are getting the game today

Shadondriel · Jul 27, 2007

Not just in the German release, but I guess everywhere:
All cities are size 4 and "Königsberg" is called "Konigsburg"
"Gibraltar" is misspelled "Gibralter"
I can't believe that I was looking forward to such a screwed add-on, really.
I guess I've never felt that disappointed in my life

Scotsh · Jul 27, 2007

I am not so sure about this, havent read about this bugs before and some are pretty obvious (game options for example).
Also when i "check for updates" no updates are found, despite there is a patch (at least for those you could buy the game a week ago -> http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=232159

So i actually do think there is a difference between the version that was sold a week ago and those which are sold since today in germany (and possibly now everywhere)

klokwerk · Jul 27, 2007

The idea is to make you buy BtS as soon as possible. The next version will be even more screwed than this one, so rush and buy it ! :lol:

Now I understand why the release of the german version was so late,
they needed the tme to program the bugs in

One wonders how many bugs te US vrsion will contain, after all it was also released late, maybe the dutch and australians are the ones with the least buiggy versions

Teg_Navanis · Jul 27, 2007

I can confirm the bug with the German version. A quick fix is to edit CvOptionsScreen.py, lines 468-469.

From:

Code:

		iInitialSelection = UserProfile.getMainMenu()
		tab.attachDropDown(vbox2, szWidgetName, szDropdownDesc, aszDropdownElements, self.callbackIFace, szCallbackFunction, szWidgetName, iInitialSelection)

to

Code:

#		iInitialSelection = UserProfile.getMainMenu()
		tab.attachDropDown(vbox2, szWidgetName, szDropdownDesc, aszDropdownElements, self.callbackIFace, szCallbackFunction, szWidgetName, 1)

Edit: The real problem seems to be in the non-accessible part of the source code. This is not a fix, but a quick workaround. Python bug report:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "CvScreensInterface", line 98, in showOptionsScreen

File "CvOptionsScreen", line 243, in interfaceScreen

File "CvOptionsScreen", line 468, in drawGraphicOptionsTab

AttributeError: 'CyUserProfile' object has no attribute 'getMainMenu'
ERR: Python function showOptionsScreen failed, module CvScreensInterface

Teg_Navanis · Jul 27, 2007

Some more python errors:

When starting a game:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "CvScreensInterface", line 705, in forceScreenRedraw

File "CvMainInterface", line 749, in redraw

File "CvMainInterface", line 3002, in updateGlobeviewButtons

AttributeError: 'CyUserProfile' object has no attribute 'getGrid'
ERR: Python function forceScreenRedraw failed, module CvScreensInterface

When using advanced start:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "CvScreensInterface", line 269, in showWorldBuilderScreen

File "CvWorldBuilderScreen", line 124, in interfaceScreen

File "CvWorldBuilderScreen", line 2437, in refreshAdvancedStartTabCtrl

AttributeError: 'CyGTabCtrl' object has no attribute 'setActiveTab'
ERR: Python function showWorldBuilderScreen failed, module CvScreensInterface

Looks as if there is a major problem with CyUserProfile and CyGTabCtrl not having newly implemented functions, possibly they compiled the wrong version.

Shadondriel · Jul 27, 2007

whoa, that's a lot to fix manually. I just hope they'll push out the patch soon.
I got 3 days off now just for BtS

Teg_Navanis · Jul 27, 2007

After a workaround for bug with advanced start, I got another one:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "CvScreensInterface", line 692, in forceScreenUpdate

File "CvWorldBuilderScreen", line 329, in updateScreen

AttributeError: 'CyInterface' object has no attribute 'isFocusedWidget'
ERR: Python function forceScreenUpdate failed, module CvScreensInterface

Teg_Navanis · Jul 27, 2007

It's getting boring:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "CvScreensInterface", line 705, in forceScreenRedraw

File "CvMainInterface", line 749, in redraw

File "CvMainInterface", line 3003, in updateGlobeviewButtons

AttributeError: 'CyUserProfile' object has no attribute 'getMap'
ERR: Python function forceScreenRedraw failed, module CvScreensInterface

I'll just assume CyUserProfile().getScores() and CyUserProfile().getYields() are broken as well...

Shadondriel · Jul 27, 2007

well, . .. .. .. . me sideways :lol:

The patch for direct2drive versions works for the German release too.
Someone has just told me :eek:

I just wonder why it doesn't download automatically like all other patches

bokaj · Jul 27, 2007

Yes! Just downloaded the patch (here) and now the options menu shows up correctly!

Thanks Shadondriel!

BtS I'm coming!!! :king:

Proteus · Jul 27, 2007

Yes, tje patch also solves the problem with the buggy advanced start

Scotsh · Jul 27, 2007

YaY!
Downloading the patch now, hope is resolves all mentioned issues

They really should fix the automatic downloader tho...

Razor2 · Jul 27, 2007

The options bug is still there after 3.02... :confused:

and it says it is still 3.01...

Razor2 · Jul 27, 2007

ok...I have a solution:

just use the CvOptionsScreen.py file from vanilia civ...

but this still not solves the mistery why after the patch it still says 3.01.
