Does the new patch fix all the major problems?

[Stalker0]

Hey guys, I'm an avid CIV IV player (the original). But I've been thinking about buying the expansion of late.

I came on the boards a while ago and noted many problems with BTS (like the poison water issue and corporations). However, I just came back after a long hiatus and noticed this new patch which apparantely fixes a lot of those problems).

Are there any major issues that was not fixed by the patch?

This patch introduced way more errors than it fixed.
But get Bhruics unofficial patch to patch the patch (see stickied thread) and (nearly) all is well.

Does "(nearly) all is well" come out better than not patching BtS at all?
I have yet to patch BtS, and I'm a bit hesitant.

I've been lurking around here for the better part of a year and finally got around to signing up and posting. Hi.

Yeah the unofficial patch by Bhruic works wonder on the crazy trade agreements

The official 3.13 patch does fix a lot of the old issues, but creates a number of serious bugs of its own. Fortunately Bhruic has produced an unofficial patch to fix these. 3.13 with Bhruic's patch is better than 3.02 (and obviously 3.03). There do seem to be issues OOS errors in multiplayer which are not yet resolved though.

Yes, especially considering that Bhruic's patch is an ongoing process. Almost weekly he's bringing out a new version. So if you patch to 3.13 then keep up to date with Bhruic's patches then eventually you'll have the bugs worked out.

Hi! Yes, it's definitely better than not patching it. The "nearly" is just there so people don't complain if they do find a bug. All known significant issues are fixed.
(in SP... don't know about the OOS MP error).

Well, the unofficial patch crashes my comp and nobody seems to have a clue why....so back up first
