2K Greg's recent posts on the 2K forums

Technically, that's correct.

"Technically". What an interesting choice of words. Of course, it's possible that a programme might be ignoring all attempts to talk with it just because it's a badly written piece of crap. But nine times out of ten, it doesn't talk because it has crashed.

Happens a bunch to my Outlook inbox, which can certainly be a bugger.

You changed the subject. So here's the question. Does Civ 5 ignore all attempts to talk with it because it's a badly written piece of crap that refuses to talk with the rest of the system in a timely manner? Or is it because it's a badly written piece of crap that crashes and couldn't talk no matter how much it might want to?

Hmm???

This one is brilliant.


Ever heard the sound of complete despair?

You know, I had this thing happen in most recent patches all the time, and in 100% cases it wasn't a crash.

Usually happens during initial save game load, or if I try to do other stuff with alt-tabbing out of the game. Just waiting or ignoring the message fixes it.


P.S.
Still, I don't remember having this issue with initial game release.

You know, as I haven't loaded the 1.167 patch, I don't have faced THIS problem either. Doesn't really matter, btw.

What I think is funny is the pure fact that a game with a minimum requirement of a Core2Duo, thus at least having been written for a 2 core processor, has been written in a way in which it sometimes stops to communicate with the OS.

It is just an additional piece in the mosaic.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but can anyone direct me to a post about the most recent patch and its effects?
