New 2.13 patch out for Warlords!

[AlanH]

Do you think it will help? Well, maybe.... next time I will do so. I have started a game yersterday and the first crash was while starting up

I've no idea, but they certainly can't solve problems if they don't know about them. It only costs a little time, it can't do any harm, and it *may* do some good.

This does not work on Macs! Whoever will try: here you go. Say Thank you to ColdFever

I don't think I said it did. I was simply pointing out where they might have got the latest built-in translation from.

yep, that's true, can't deny it.

I just completed the info you provided - nothing to argue about

I've sent Aspyr about 3 crashlogs regarding random ctds, through their support site. I doubt seriously we'll see anything out of them for various stability issues among the machine types.

Here's what the good old Aspyr Support department sent me in response to my crash reports:

Thank you for your continued feedback on the Civ 4 Warlords patch. At this time
we have not received reports from other customers about Warlord 2.13 causing
crashes or other problems. While looking into your two most recent crashlogs I
have noticed a common factor. The crash thread in the log indicates a crash in
your Open GL/video card drivers and not the game itself. If Open GL or video
card drivers crash or malfunction any game will crash.

 

[AlanH]

... so no one else has reported any crashes with Warlords 2.13?

 

[Endure]

I reported a couple crashes with the patch. It crashes randomly for me from time to time.

 

[AlanH]

Well, if the crashes *really* relate to the OGL or graphics divers, then Apple needs to know. However, I think Aspyr are a little cavalier in assuming that it's not their code that's provoking the crashes, wherever they occur.

... any game will crash

Do any other games crash?

I play a lot of World of Warcraft and it NEVER crashes. When playing Civ4 Warlords 2.13, it crashes every 3-5 hours. Next time it does, I'll find the log and send it.

Warlords is the only game I own atm that suffers random CTDs. Now, I do own other Aspyr ports that do not crash per my ailing memory. Granted, I play Warlords by far the most - along with EU3: Napoleon's Ambition via Virtual Programming.

 

[AlanH]

I rest my case

 

[dojoboy]

That's not meant for me, is it?

 

[AlanH]

Nooo! It's meant to represent my self-satisfaction at being proved right when I said ...

... since other games *don't* crash on the same Mac, it seems that Warlords 2.13 *is* provoking the crashes,

I'm sure it is, but I'm getting the same crashes to the desktop as with earlier versions. Since they fixed HoMM V, this is the only game I have that's crashing (but not really very often).

 

[AlanH]

So tell Aspyr! If no one tells them they can rightly say, "At this time
we have not received reports from other customers about Warlord 2.13 causing
crashes or other problems. "

Tried that with earlier versions. Didn't work

Grab it now. 841 meg. I'm currently d/l if from the Aspyr site, with only 1 day, 14 hours, and 56 minutes remaining. If somebody could put it up on Pirate Bay I'd be thrilled!

Well, I'm finally getting around to downloading this patch and am having a heck of a time...I get about 50% of done and then something goes wrong.

Is there some other legal way to download it like via a torrent or an ftp site that would support starting a download from the point it left off?

Thank you.

Have you tried the mirror link to Atomic Gamer on this page?

I've reinstalled Civ for Mac.

Windows wasn't working out for me , I'm downloading this patch at 779 kbs/second. I noticed when I installed the vanilla patch that the graphics on my macbook looked like they did on the iMac. Everything is shaded, I was very pleased to find.

I just used the "Check for updates" button inside the program and it told me there is a 213 patch and asked me if I wanted to get it.

I said yes, and it downloaded it, and said its installed but requires the game to restart. So I restarted the game, and checked the build and it was still 2.0.0. I checked for updates again and it told me there is a 213 update and asked me if I wanted to install it -.-. I am downloading it from the link provided now, and applying to from outside.

By the way, what does this patch do?

If you read the FAQ you will discover that the in-game update menu item takes you to the Windows update. That will do you no good whatsoever. You need to download the Aspyr patch, from MacGamesFIles, as linked in the sticky threads at the top of this forum list.
