new patch is out #303

[RedRalph]

Does it auto-install once downloaded?

 

[elsybelsy]

it worked all the way for me?

Hmm.. not sure about anyone else, but my patch download just got interrupted with a "failed" message. When I try to download it again, it says the patch is there, but that it has -1 bytes. Nothing downloads at this stage. Maybe it was released early by mistake? Or maybe it's only me getting this issue.

Good luck, all

So it's basically just a patch that contains the latest version of DirectX and no other fixes? Wow, what a waste of time.

It doesn't sound like a needed patch from the changelog by the OP...

You just have to download it then try again, it worked the second time for me, see attached:

It is if you plan on playing with someone who bought the Steam version and got auto-updated.

Good news! But there already is a thread about this

It links to this thread?

 

[taketounwanted]

yeah, somewhat around those % it stops here too

Anybody know what "Manifest Requirements" are?

It's far too early to be expecting gameplay patches I think. From past experience they seem to take a lot longer - QA and stuff.

 

[eoghammer]

so there is no correction to the gameplay and no corrections for the various mods.... I may wait several days before installing it...

hehe, well I tried 3 times to download it. Even restarted the game and tried again. But it didn't work.

Then I went back to the game I'm playing... played a few turns... went out to the main menu to try again, and it's working fine now.

Shame if it really is just a Microsoft manifest + DirectX fix...

 

[svkenney]

Downloaded it with success. I'll try it out this evening...

I merged the two threads. Guess it would have helped if I had mentiod that.

I installed the 3.03 patch from D2D last Friday, it does just seem to be DirectX stuff. It definitely didn't change the main .dll, I put the unofficial patch one from Solver back in after the update.

Me too, but it crashed a couple minutes later in Civilopedia, hope it's random, really hope so.

I can't believe that they didn't fix Gers obsoliting with Rocketry (should be with Advanced Flight, like Stables do), though I think it must be very easy to fix.

Just for the sake of it here is the changelog

Spoiler don't expect too much :

told you so

v3.3

- Microsoft Fix for Manifest Requirements

- DirectX 9.0c June Version Included

 

[RedRalph]

Bizarre. Why bother? and I thought the new DirectX was in the non-patch edition anyway?
