New MP Game Starting (8pm GMT +12)

[Onan]

The update is...I still can't play, same error.

Stazba, this game is for an already set time...so suggesting other times won't work.

Anyway, it's all on hold for now...hopefully it doesn't last too long.

 

[stazba]

sorry. I didn't know the time had been firm set yet. I was just saying if the times that I was able to play were not good for anyone else, I had those other times available.

In any case, when everybody is set to play, and if I am available to play at those times, I would love to join in. If I can't, I'll just follow this thread with interest and sigh at the lost opportunity

 

[Onan]

That's cool, I hope we can work something out for all of us to play on a regular basis.

Right now I'm relegated to hoping I can play civ 5 again someday, period.

Not sure if this is good news, but at least 2-3 other players are running into the same problem, apparently since the recent hotfix. It's a gamebreaker...hopefully they figure out a fix soon...so far, no word from either 2K or Steam.

 

[Tabarnak]

Have you tried with another copy of ciV Onan?

 

[Onan]

No. I don't see the point in buying another copy of the game when my original disk should work fine. I suspect if I bought another, it wouldn't install either. In any case, I'm prepared to wait for some technical support before trying something drastic like that...especially since it might not even work.

 

[Onan]

Hi guys.

I am back in business for Civ 5. (The problem seems to have been due to a conflict between steam or civ 5 and a recent update to Avast! antivirus.)

So, who's up for another full MP game? Hopefully we can get a six player game off the ground.

 

[Chrimera]

Count me in if your lfm players...

 

[Onan]

Hi Chrimera,

I was going to say, the timing is the most important thing--but if you're in Auckland, we should be all good. Are evenings good for you? Start is between 7:30 and 8:00, running for 2-3 hours. One of two of our players from our last game doesn't have a set schedule, so we just ran it when we all could play, picking days week by week.

How long have you been playing civ? Absolutely, you're welcome to join us if you can be consistent and dependable--it'd be great to have someone in the same timezone.

Onan

 

[Onan]

Getting more specific...who can play what days this coming week in this time slot?

Tuesday (tomorrow, might be too soon)
Wednesday 25 July
Thurs
Fri
Sat --probably out for me, may be out of town
Sun 29
Mon

If Brenador / meso-pitt / and Tabarnak are all in, and kyp can join us consistently too (secondsabre), then Chrimera could be our sixth player... (not to count out others who've posted, but they didn't seem so interested in this timeslot, or could only play it on weekends).

 

[Brenador]

I'm in. I can play on any day. Thursday would not be my top choice, but I can play then.

 

[Tabarnak]

I think i will pass. For next two months i will not going to sleep very late like before. I prefer begin a new game later like in 2-3 months when summer will be gone.

I could start Fri and open thru the weekend. Mon thru thurs are more difficult.

 

[Onan]

Looks like we're still struggling to get to six players. (Look forward to playing again with you next time, Tabarnak.)

We have five though, I think. Meso should be in, the time is easy for him; not sure about days though.

My preference is to play something rather than wait. Five would be fun. Let's try it tomorrow (Friday, wee hours for some), at the appointed hour. I will jump on Steam and see who's around then--if we have 4 or 5, we'll get something started.

 

[Onan]

Well, it was just our three from the last game on tonight.

Still looking for three more players who have the patience and reliability to coordinate this kind of thing on a regular basis, at the given time.

Please post if that's you!

 

[mto86]

I am a keen to join the game (although new to civ 5 and never played multiplayer before). When is it kicking off?

 

[Onan]

Hi mto86.

As soon as we have enough people, we'll set a start date.

What timezone are you in? Hopefully the set time will work for you on a regular basis.

 

[mto86]

I'm in Adelaide, Australia (GMC +9.30)

 

[Brenador]

I am available for a new game, and open to most times.

Great, sounds like an easy time for you.

That brings us to 5/6...possibly 6/6? Kyp, I'm not sure if you're watching the thread and if you really wanted to commit to a 4 am game your time? (Sounded like you could only do it weekends, too?)

edit: mto, what's with the half hour? talk about complicated.

 

[zalta]

I'm probably late with this, but I'm desperately looking for a regular group to play Civ 5 with, and after reading your previous game reports I'd definitely want to join, if still possible. If not, I'll just keep on waiting.

I'm at Finland (GMT +2), played Civ since 1994. If I can read timezones correctly, I should have no problem attending the game regularly.
