14th of June Patchnotes

It's just an idea:

Might it be possible, that people with the mentioned problems had graphic settings lower than max and the patch changed all graphic settings unintentional to max quality? Maybe this change is only internal and even might not be represented in the options menu?

I'm just wondering, as some people (including, fortunately, me) seem to have no problems so far and my settings are on 'high' anyway.

But that's just a guess...

That doesn't seem to be the problem. I have went to the extreme and set everything at low settings or some of them at off and still get the slow slow turn lag and management screen lags. Also the information snaps up before the unit even reaches its destination. They got the info screens fast. They should be able to make other parts of the game even faster.

Still looks like a programming problem and some errors that should be very basic to correct. You should be able to click on the video settings option 'quick combat' and not have quick combat and quick movement on when you set up the individual game. There seems to be a gliche even in that part of the patch.

started a new standard size map and am almost in the future era. game plays smoother.

odd though, china went on a wonder spree, while germany hasnt expanded beyond 2 cities. units that need attention after you press end turn dont get snapped to like before, you have to click on the big bar.

my biggest gripe so far..WHY OH WHY can we not get an option to have show queue always checked?? LOL

 

[joncnunn]

If I'm reading this thing about courthouses right, then it would really suck to annex anything.

Oh wait, Police State does give +3 happiness which cancels out the base unhappiness.

Police state really isn't a good option: It suffers from Autocracy not being able to be unlocked until you enter Industrial era.

What changes did you make to your system to allow the program to operate as well as before the patch? Did you have to reset your video settings lower or did you keep what you had before the patch?

Can anyone else not see the advisor's change for each era? Is it just such a subtle change than i can't even notice it?

Judging from the unused arts, there are only THREE types of Advisors

Ancient (which I'm presuming will also be used for Classical), Medieval (Which will be used for Renaissance) and Modern (Industrial up to Future).

Look in the Gallery on the last page of "Unusued Art" and see if you notice anything diffrent.

As someone that always always always plays with randomized personalities, this is funny to me
Maybe there's a bug that enables that setting even if you have it unchecked?

Also, it's nice to see that they still havent bothered to fix the "Player 1's territory", "Player 1's Swordsman" bug that was introduced in the third patch after release, lol.

I mean, they are adding religion, overhauling combat, diplomacy, reskinning the UI, everything. But a simple text bug is too hard to fix? IT RUIN MY IMMERSION!!

Why is my desire to play Civ 5 atm so magnified!? I want to play my CIV 5 D: but I can't because i keep crashing

This could be small or big depending on the person.

I found that a farm which was in the way of being built in a desert tile, then abandoned, then completed (thank you barbarians) will show the yield but not the farm graphic.

Prepatch, upon a mouse hover each Korean specialist would clearly indicate a +2 in addition to whatever they respectively contribute, true to the UA. But the patch removed that indication, so unless you're a very smart noob you wouldn't even know.

 

[TheMarshmallowBear]

I think tahts' been in a while.. I've noticed that at certain times the terrain improvements don't show up at all.

 

[prince_caspian]

I didn't know it happened for the others, but mine showed every tile improvement, all the time. Now it doesn't.

 

[MadDjinn]

I hope it gets updated. That is one of my favorite mods. One of those I just got used to using. Many of these mods most likely will not be updated before GnK anyway.

I have a question, for anyone who can answer it. What takes care of city unhappiness now, if not the courthouse? I've just puppeted a capital, so let me know if I should annex or not. Thanks

Has anyone heard anything from 2K Greg about all these patch issues?

Well, as long as the mod author is around, it'll get updated. There's ~145ish mods already in the workshop, so hopefully more will come soon (or he's waiting for GaK and will update it with new stuff).

Either way, that's no reason to yell and hate at 2K/Firaxis (not you, that 'other' person).

Don't know about 2K Greg, but it looks like Dennis (producer) is taking point and talking with people about their issues.

Yes, in my case I will puppet it, until resistance ends then annex and build a courthouse.

You should always do this anyways. Annexing a city as it's in rebellion is never a good plan. You can't buy/build anything there anyways, but your unhappiness does go up until the rebels are gone.

So, what is the function of the courthouse then? Does it give a happiness bonus of some sort. Even +2 happiness would be nice. It is supposed to deter crime.

Oh wait, Police State does give +3 happiness which cancels out the base unhappiness.

...makes FP useful again...

The function of the courthouse is to let you use that city as if it was one of your own (buy/build stuff).

Police State has the happy bonus, so it might be 'useful' to use Autocracy in a warmongering game again

Mods will always be updated by the developer when a new version comes out. Actually so far most of my mods work ok on the patch. The whold issue is just performance and hope they do get it fixed before G&K comes out. Be a shame to have G&K not to performe as well as Civ 5 without it.

I know that there's other issues, but the mod one was a specific one that is easily remedied.

I was opening a game I had already been playing and naturally went thru the Steam protocol. It updated my game automatically without asking me if I wanted the new download and naturally I cannot play the game I started. The worst part is now when i try to start a new game nothing plays. The game comes up but I cannot do anything. Very Frustrated with this steam system and the auto download. Any suggestions as to how to fix this problem?

 

[King Patrick]

I was playing a game as India, and after the patch Spain became the Incas headed by Genghis Khan and Isabella was now head of the Mongol Empire.

 

[spider1]

I should have saved at least one game just to see this. But normally I delete all my saves when I know a patch is coming.

In the config.ini file there should be a line EnableGameCoreThreading = 1 - try setting that to 0, might improve your gameplay

Nice patch.

I was starting Civ5 for the first time since the patch just a little bit ago, and as it was starting, I was reading about the Patch in Steam.Then the intro video started as I was still reading.And then I read the patch note that said that trying to win in the same way had been disabled as a diplo modifier, and right about the time I read that, the old man in the video says, "Glorious."Seem to fit awfully nice.

And then after that I say the nice new loading screen!
