It appears that the new patch will not allow the loading of a savegame afflicted by the DATAIO errors. I have a series of autosaves with four hours work in them which exhibit BITM, TILE, UNIT, CZFG Data IO errors when I attempt to load them. This means that I am unable to complete any of the three games that have died with this problem.
It also gives me ZERO confidence about starting a new one and investing time in it. I have not played it for the last ten days, knowing that it was odds on that the save would corrupt and die at some point.
As somebody who REALLY loves Sid and Firaxis's past works I am gutted and probably won't play the game again unless it can be proved that I won't be wasting my time.
They can fix as many in game errors as they like, but if you can't save your game then it makes the whole product about as useless as a chocolate teapot
They've even fixed the Safedisc protection problem so I can now play the game with the original CD rather than being forced to use a crack. Not that I want to play it anymore. It's time to dust off CTP2 until Civ4 appears
