Civ4 Beyond the Sword Patch v3.17 is out

[Kaleekanoka]

How long does this uptake (patch) take?

I started it 3 hours ago and it is still not done.

Yes, my download speeds are excellent.

Granted I have been running other things at the same time.

I am scared to cancel it because I feel it will mess everything up.

 

[Gumbolt]

Has anyone actually played a full game with the new patch or have you all just spent the week debating its virtues??

Those that have are there any improvement to game speed?

Is it likely to resolve the BSODs I am getting when i close civ4 due to memory dumps? I think one of my 2gb sticks is going (

Can i just install over Bhurics patch or do i need to back up the file again?

Take care all and do play the game too.

I've have not noticed any improvements in performance.....

BH patch is for 3.13. Only God ( and probably Firaxis ... ) knows what it can do if you use Bh files over 3.17

As I never had the BSOD problems I can't say if it solves them.....

 

[Onagan]

it broke my game, it doesn't show BTS-leader. But how to uninstall the game???

 

[Kaleekanoka]

Damn thing still has not finished installing.

I wonder if I just cancel the thing for the time being if it will mess anything up?

 

[r_rolo1]

You can cancel it without problems...

If you're having problems with the auto update tool ( that is known for being less than perfect ), I strongly suggest you to download it from the Download section of this site ( like I did )

 

[Kaleekanoka]

Thanks for the advice, and yes that is what I did; hit the update from the auto update.

*Now it's my turn of ranting* ....

Why the hell they took the Unreveal tile from WB? Another step for easier scenario making with WB, I presume......

*finishs ranting*

Is it just me, or does a 170MB patch seem excessive, when the versioning only goes from 3.13 to 3.17? How big is that mesomod - does it have a ton of new graphics?

 

[r_rolo1]

^^Not exactly..... The mod is pretty raw.

EDIT
In light of the confusion coming about regarding the worldbuilder change, I have removed this post to prevent compounding the confusion.

The change made to the unreveal part of world builder is completely sensible.

 

[r_rolo1]

To me it does not make a lot of diference , because I know how to edit a WB file without WB. But for the casual player that only wants to make a self-consume map, and given that WB is the oficial map editor...... it is quite stupid. Oh well, problably simply commented the code out like they did with Glance, so it will not take long for it to reappear ( at least in my computer )

 

[TheLastOne36]

Are there any bugs known to the patch yet?

 

[r_rolo1]

Besides the Barrage and the No espionage Demographics, none AFAIK

Unpacked I get 67.5 MB for the latest version of DirectX and only 62.4 MB for the actual patch.

Patch is fine for me except one thing. The modern road graphics aren't there anymore..for me at least..don't know if it happened to anyone else. I thought it was my game that I had saved in 3.13 and then loaded in 3.17. It worked fine until I saw the old road graphics instead of the modern ones (All civs were in the modern era too). I did test a new game on the 3.17 patch and I started in the industrial era...the modern roads STILL weren't there.

So is this happening to anyone or is it just me?

 

[r_rolo1]

Confirmed by me... I also get old-style roads in modern era

 

[Balderstrom]

I have modern roads in the Industrial Era... maybe due to Veritas Delicat?

 

[r_rolo1]

Maybe.... Must still try in my other computer.

I have install the patch. Now what did happen with the UN?
I'd build the wonder of UN. Won the elections and I can't choose any of the issues to vote. What happened here?

Did it happen with any of you guys?
