Ok, so I along with a few friends have gotten back into Civ and have been playing nearly every night. I was poking around on here and found info on the BAT, BUG, and BUFFY mods so I checked them out. One friend and I decided to start up some games using the BUFFY mod, so we did. Everything worked great until we attack something, then we are instantly given the out of sync error. We searched on the forums and found others with the same issue but no solution, so we decided to try the BAT mod. We ran into the same problem with that. We were doing a direct IP game which I read has issues, so we tried alternative ways to play. We have tried playing over Gamespy, but with the BAT mod loaded no matter who hosts the other cannot see the game to join it. We opened all of the ports that were recommended in this post, but it has not helped. We tried playing a LAN game over Hamachi, but the game does not show up when trying over a LAN (even with no mod loaded LAN does not work for us at all).
We downloaded the zipped version of the BUG mod and installed it directly into the BTS folder as instructed in the readme file. If I launch a single player game the BUG mod is functional. If we try playing over Gamespy you can tell the mod is working because when attempting to connect to a game you are given a BUG loading screen hint, but the game does not connect. A direct IP game connects just fine, but for some reason the BUG mod is not loaded, the game plays just like vanilla BTS.
We are at our wit's end. We have started a couple of games with BUFFY and BAT but have really been unable to finish them because of the out of sync issues. However, once you've played even a fraction of a game using any of these mods it is really hard to go back to playing regular BTS, so we're trying to find a way to get this to work so we can still enjoy the benefits of at least the BUG mod.
Anybody have any helpful advice?
