BNW patch en route

The patch is rather buggy. The downtime between turns has decreased dramatically (good!), but I keep getting stuck on leaderscreens (bad!).

If you have a save that repro's this, could you make it available? We would love to take a look.
 
I preordered the game but didn't get the 1 gig download? Also, maybe I am going crazy, but I don't have the option of watching the opening video. At least I think I remember an opening video. Honestly I haven't played the game in quite a while. Could I have disabled the opening video somehow or does Gods and Kings not have one?

Pretty sure you can disable it in the options menu.
 
Steam automatically updated my game with the 88mb patch before I preordered BNW... now that I preordered BNW... there doesn't seem to be a way for me to get the 1gb patch... :(
 
Can you post this save where we can grab it? We'd love to take a look. Thanks!

I took an autosave and played on and quicksaved each turn until Egypt notified me of their bullying. So hit end turn.

Also, when the globe starts to spin, it never stops.


Edit: Also this is on the 1 gb download (I have pre-ordered it through steam). I have tested some new game and although I haven't played for many turns, I have made (DoF) deals, so the diplomacy screens doesn't seems to be broken there and I have not seen the eternal spinning glove thing.

Hmn... I did preorder about a month ago, however only 88 MB here... It was downloading 1GB but now it finished and its only 88...
 
I found the option to enable the intro video so that is one question answered. Still wondering if I am going to receive the early download for the game though. I have a slow connection so it would be much appreciated if I do.
 
I shouldve listened to my instinct. My Inca game crashed on turn 420 something. Wu Zetian's diplomacy screen for a peace treaty lagged out. She offered a bunch of crap and I demanded Salzburg then the UI disappeared and I was wondering if this was something new. I pressed ESC and it turns out that I just refused the deal. Then the same diplomacy UI pops up again while watching China destroy my naval fleet. It seems that patches needs patches.
 
Loaded up my game with the patch, and it's unplayable - no UI at all. Just the mouse pointer and the land. No city names, nothing. Can't even save it :(
Try verifying files in Steam, and/or clearing your cache.
 
Art updates are pretty cool. I still see no evidence of any updates to America or Germany. I am disappoint:( Oh, well. I'll have the American Domination mod. Sadly, nothing for Germany.

I've restarted Steam several times now... I'll try rebooting my computer to see if that will work...

BTW you can change your signature. It's not.

If you have a save that repro's this, could you make it available? We would love to take a look.

Rest of the patch is great BTW. Keep up the good work; BNW look's like it's going to be awesome.
 
Get a savegame ready and an elaboration of the issues (what did you do, when did it happen, etc.), and maybe your system specs, this will help the team :)

The patch is just a few hours out. Don't know when 'last night' was, but if it's more than a few hours it's probably not related to the patch :)

It may just have been that I was playing on a game started before the patch. This would only happen when it was between my turns - those pop-ups you get when the AI wants something. The first couple showed odd things, like Gandhi saying he wanted a Research Agreement, but the listed terms were just Open Borders, and Bismarck saying he wanted to renew an agreement of... no terms. Then Augustus popped up giving ridiculous terms for peace, which I rejected. The terms menu went away, leaving Augustus reclining on my screen for 10 minutes. I hit Esc, which brought me back to the map, and began my turn. The terms menu reappeared (without Augustus's leaderscreen), which was usable normally otherwise. Similar things happened a couple more times, then Boudicca decided to tell me not to bother Kathmandu (which I was nowhere near). Now the game was stuck. No matter whether I clicked "I'll leave it alone" or "Screw you", it didn't do anything. So I exited out. I am on an HP Pavilion g series laptop which heretofore has played Civ V perfectly fine. Again, I think it may just have been because I was on a saved game from before the patch.
 
Hello all. Several conversations are emerging regarding a stand alone Pitboss server. I wanted to share this from you which comes from the official patch notes.

Patch Notes said:
New Mode - Pitboss - Your game can now run in a server mode, which allows players to connect, take their turn, disconnect, and come back later. Email notifications and steam notifications are built into the system. Once the system has received a healthy amount of feedback from the community, we will also include a stand-alone Pitboss server that does not require a steam account to run.

I hope that this clears things up. :)

Thanks so much, we'll take a look. Please let me know if you see this in a fresh game.
 
Also, how would I upload a save file to be checked?

There is a button (looking like a paperclip) called attachements. A least that's how I did it.
