BIC v. 3.0 no longer supported

Hi!

I install the final patch 1.17f and got this message after editing a scenario and trying to load it...."BIC v. 3.0 no longer supported".

I tried to find a fix on this forum for this problem but without succes! Anybody knows what I have to do for resolving this problem?

thanx in advance!

Hi !

It is quite simple: You patched with 1.17f. FIRAXIS made a mistake during the first hours and spread an editor version
that was NOT intended to be shipped with that patch release.

Solution: I would behave like that (but you surely will find other threads where this is described). Uninstall 1.17. Download the (separate new editor) or just the 1.17 patch. Apply it.

You cannot edit a file saved with the -V3.0- editor. But you can edit *.bic files of 1.16 or newly created files of 1.17f.

Have fun!

Okay, downloaded and installed the patch (117f) from the official site and I get this same problem, incompatable map files created with the "new" editor(version 3.0?).

I see mention of the "correct" version of the editor being available as a seperate download, but have been unbale to find it anywhere.

Is there a solution to this, or is it a case of wait for the next patch? Firaxis told me they do NOT support the editor, so no help there.

I just spent the last 4 hours making a new map ... got the bad version 3.0 error

Will I be able to salvage this work?


Where can i download the editor talked about above?

Thanks

I too seem to have this problem. Though it only seems to occur if you change the Civilisations. Changing the geography of a map seem to not be a problem. I was also told by Infogrames the editor is not supported....why not I was shipped with their game?

Anyhow I need a fix and I need one now.

*cough* I 'collect' 'rare' program versions...anyone want to *cough*send me the messed editor?

(keep in mind I have no wish to subvert Firaxis, and if requesting this is against some sort of directive from Firaxis, I withdraw my request)

Anyway....I'm gone
