I am very sorry about this patch-related troubles, this game seems to be cursed
Unfortunately, I can't anymore play with the old 1.21 patch, because my hard disk is already full, so I can't make a second install!
Playboy, read below, maybe there's the solution:
"UK PTW 1.27f Patch Update
posted by Thunderfall at 5:11 PM
No, Atari STILL hasn't posted a working UK PTW 1.27f patch yet. However, there is a way to make the US patch work on the UK version. Just follow these simple steps:
Install the US 1.27f patch (Download from Atari CivFanatics, 11.21 MB)
Replace the "Civilization3X.exe" file from the CIV3PTW folder with the "Civilization3X.exe" file from this zip (2.49 MB). This will fix the "insert CD" copy protection error that appears after you install the US patch over the UK version.
Have fun playing! "
So, you could try.
At the moment, this is situation:
