Danke schön!!!
hmm, surprised nobody has mentioned savegame compatibility (ok so I used search and didnt personally read the all the 3.13 threads).
If I try to load my "current" game (Next War mod, no protected assets or whatever setup) it just drops me to desktop (there's a popup dialogue but it's back to desktop too quick to printscreen, nerver mind read). Making a new game starts fine.
Just unlucky with that save, or are they incompatible? If the latter, *insert whinge about not disclosing it*.
Nice big changelog though.
edit/update: just tried starting a new game then loading a different save, this time it sent me to the NextWar main menu with the dialogue "failed to uncompress game data". However the menu was borked, and when i tried to load again to take a screenshot it "encountered an error and needs to close"

They just added those to the end of the events xml files so they are in addition to those already there - I'll update my events list soon and then you'll find those also in the thread my sig links to.
its obsolete and will be overwritten by the patch.
Indeed, Methos already pointed this out. The weird thing is that it is not a new patch for Vanilla and Warlords, but still the .dll files got changed (and the buildinginfo and globaldefines for warlords, but they seem to just have been opened and saved with no changes). This means that someone with Vanilla (and Warlords) but not BtS now has different Assets from someone with BtS but both have the same patch version - I would assume that this might cause problems in MP games

You are not the only one with this issue (see here for more reports on similar crashes) - I assume you also do not get any error messages?
Final Frontier tile grid does not appear... it's really needed for the space background sometimes

Save games are definitely not compatible. I've tried 3.03 and 3.02 saves, no mods involved, and they all CTD while loading. I definitely recall it being stated several times that saves would be compatible (and I was sceptical as they usually aren't).

I'm in the same boat. Unfortunately, we're just going to have to wait until D2D releases the patch for their version. Maybe the D2D patch will just go direct to 3.14 (fixing whatever bugs were generated in 3.13....)
I have emailed D2D customer support asking them about 3.13.
Which version of the game do you have? I've seen reports that only people with the UK version are having this problem.

well ... i think i don't know. i can tell u that i didn't buy the game ... and the crack is labeled MULTI5 no-dvd.... if u can make smth out of this...... more on this subject will be guessing for me ( anyway until BTS came out out civ 4 was the worse out of all the civ's for me).

judging from the thread I linked to at least one poster has the location Australia and another Canada - so this might not be the case but since there are at least half a dozen people with that problem there I'll just post your question there.@numaru7:
Welcome to CFC by the way
Get a legit version of the game 
Quite apart from the fact that this forum is very strict when it comes to piracy it is not uncommon for game publishers to ensure that new patches render pirated versions obsolete...

I've got the UK version, and I'm not getting any crashes from the main menu or when starting new games. Only CTDs I've seen so far are from attempts to load old saves. Doesn't seem like it's connected to the UK version.
curiously this also is something that not everyone experiences - just to make sure: you do not have games started with locked assets do you?
Bhruic, FWIW I have UK version and though only very limited play, it works fine for me (assuming the savegame incompatibility is universal).
numaru7, if I made civ IV I'd go around finding cracks and every time I made a patch, would try to break them with it. I'm guessing you'll have to find an updated crack or go buy the game - in UK CivIV complete with both expansions can be had for £18 in about a week's time, I guess elsewhere you'll find a similar online deal where it's about half the (already discount) store price.
edit: oops must have a missed out a page of responses made after the post i thought was the last one
