Does 3.19 remove the CD check

[Narnia]

I've heard that patching BtS to the official 3.19 patch removes the CD check meaning that you can play without the CD. Is this true?

 

[Furiey]

Yes, it's true.

That's odd, I thought that I already patched my game to 3.19 but it still checks for the CD, how do I check what version I have?

Start the game; in the main menu select "Advanced">"Check Build".

Cheers, LT.

Ok, it says:
Civ version: 313
Save version 301
Build version 3.0.0.1

What should it say?

Not this. Should be "Civ version: 319"; "Save version: 302", and "Build version: 3.1.9.0" (at least that's on my - fully patched - end). So, update, mate!

Use this download of the patch, though - the in-game updater is notoriously buggy. To make sure you're patching properly, you *have* to download and install it by hand.

Cheers, LT.

Yes, download and install it manually. If you have Vista or Win 7 right click on the patch and choose run as administrator. The ingame updater does not work with 3.19.

I have windows 7 and I downloaded the patch (thanks for the link) but I can't figure out to install it. I tried double clicking on it, it asks for admin privs and then nothing happens. I right click on it and click run as administrator and it asks for admin privs and after that, still nothing happens. Any suggestions anyone?
