When it's ready

I am sure it not the fact that I quit smokig again today that has me on edge. So could that be why I am wanting to say thats not an answer. Oh my god what is going on. Psst..... anyone have a smoke.

 

[player1 fanatic]

That's the best answer you can get.

 

[Herocrafter]

Psst.... wanna smoke

 

[Harkonnen]

Pssst.... smoking (who said I'm evil?)

I get crashes during the late game years on huge maps. That's about the only problem I have. Especially when I zoom out to planet view.

I just got the game. I am playing it on my sony vaio and it seems to work fine with the new patch. But did the patch make the units not appear as 3 figures? Ever since i installed the patch all my units show up as one. is that because i am using a computer with the bear minimum specs or is that they way they wanted to change it?

1.52 resets all settings to default (like 1.09 did). Just turn off "single unit graphics" in graphics options.

Heres a list of the error messages I get during init XML (uncached):

There are more siblings than memory allocated for them in CvXMLLoadUtility::SetVariableListTagPair
Current XML file is GameInfo/CIV4CultureLevelInfo.xml

Tag: GAMESPEED_MARATHON in Info class was incorrect. Current XML file is: GameInfo/CIV4CultureLevelInfo.xml

I get these two error messages six times each while loading. Sometimes I get to see an intro commercial, but most of the time it crashes before that.


(and yes, I am posting this everywhere, and yes I emailed tech support... its been a while)

 

[eddiebluedevil]

so is the patch worth getting?

Its a mixed bag. Some say yes some say no. I had problems with 1.52, but with 1.09 and harks little patch I was able to play. Its all in what you think is acceptable game play.

Late stage crashes. Not good so long after release. This game is sadly unplayable.

When does the next patch that everyone is waiting for come out?

When the expansion comes out.

When the expansion comes out.

Sadly to say but probably people will have to pay for the next patch (if they want really pay for this)

 

[JanusTalaiini]

Didn't they say something about releasing the files that would fix that China scenario "when everyone got back from the holidays"? Did they mean Easter?

Why give away content when you can charge for it, right?

Here's a question I haven't seen raised. In the readme for patch 1.52 there's this interesting line:
-Created a set of low-res movies for machines without dynamic texture support (this is a separate download)

So where the heck is this separate download available from? The system I game on does not (and will never) have internet connectivity... which means I need to download on a separate box.

Anybody?

@BuzMack I asked this same question a couple of months ago, and Thamer from Firaxis answered that it would come available after the patch.

This would then probably be downloadable from the 2k-site, or here at civfanatics.

 

[BuzMack]

Thanks Michelangelo.

Although, "after the patch" is pretty vague... since 1.52 has been out since December.

I presume that means "after the patch but before the universe ends. Probably" Perhaps Firaxis needs some more people doing QA and proofreading?

You know what I find funny. I stated a very long time ago that the patch the will make the game playable, will be in the expansion pack. Funny how you will now have to pay for this next POS. Which I believe will cause more problems. Funny how it works. 1.52, they promised low res movies. Shortly after 1.52 they had several options available that improved game play. Yet they are now sitting on them and including them only in the expansion. I love checking back here every few weeks to see how many more suckers they get. WOO HOO!
