The latest patch especially all those repetitive resynchs causing diverse bugs and crashes made multiplayer games very hard to manage. Luckily, I have a prepatch version of the Gameplay folder and the CvGameCore_Expansion2.dll because I was playing lots of mp games with a friend of mine and we wanted to play with modified game rules.We removed the xcom squad and added the smart AI mod to the game. Therefore I made a backup of the original folder so whenever I'm going to play with someone else or an FFA for example(where you should come in with uneditted files of civ V) I could exchange the modified folder and file by the original ones again. When the patch was published, I the prepatch Gameplay folder survived.
So, I'll give instructions to roll back to the former patch for anyone who is interested:
First I want to mention that every player of an mp game has to have this done, not only one.Otherwhise the game will crash.
Go to your steam folder(you should be able to find it in your programs folder) and follow this path:
Steam\SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\Assets\DLC\Expansion2
Cut out the "CvGameCore_Expansion2.dll"-file and the "Gameplay" folder
and put those two somewhere else on your pc where you can find it
just in case you want to redo this.Now download the two attached .rar files.
Exctract those and put them into Steam\SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\Assets\DLC\Expansion2
Now you can play Civ V mp games with players who have done the same. Everything is like in prepatch times.
The resynch bugs disappeared but also the diplomacy bug for example returns, cocao and bisons are removed etc.
The CvGameCore_Expansion2.dll- file implies the Smart AI mod (not many changes, or any gamebreaking change), published by steam user ninakoru in the steam workshop.
I'm not sure if you could also play with the CvGameCore_Expansion2.dll-file of the current patch version without problems and didn't test it out yet.
