Online Load/Save bug

[Titus001]

I play online all the time, it is where I have the most fun with civ4. I never had any problems with warlords nor the original civ4. I was playing the supreme Earth map online and most people quit b/c it was late. I saved the game to continue at a later time to finish a game that i was in first place. When I loaded up the game the turn timer would not move, it was stuck. So I could not end my turn to finish up my game. It is annoying when you waste 6 hours to finish a game at a later date to only have the turn timer freeze up.


Will a new patch come out any time soon to fix this very annoying bug?


What is the deal?

could you post the save?
you do play with 3.13 right?
could you post what about this build says?

It is patch 3.13....... I would load the save here but i do not know how. Some guy named Levi who is like a helper for noobs while online said that there will be a new patch that fixes this bug.

How do I post a save?

 

[Titus001]

Anyone? Is this a confirmed bug?

i dont know how to load a save to here. Some people were saying that this is a bug and it will be fixed with the next patch.

 

[Titus001]

I even had people that were in the same game as me load the game up only to have the same problem. When they loaded up a old save for online play the turn timer would not count down. You could not move units either. The turn timer just froze..... I hope a new patch fixes this b/c this makes online play rather lame if you cant finish a game at a later b/c people quit or got bored. Some guy named Levi said a new patch will be out in the future. Have any of you guys heard that a new patch will be out any time soon?

This issue has been posted multiple times, any idea when the patch to fix this will be released?

 

[ori]

there has been no official confirmation of a new patch (though with alexman asking for map scripts in this forum for a new patch - it is likely there will be one) - no release date is known. Might be a while.

 

[Titus001]

ttt Anyone know if this has been fixed in the new patch?

My understanding is that this bug WAS fixed. Try it out and see of course

I would download the new patch but I have many mods. I don;t know if the mods I have will work with the new patch. They probably all have to be updated. In my current game I'm playing as the romans. Israel is surrounded by Saddam Hussein, Adolph Hitler and the Iranians. I hope LTBob updates his mod that allows us to play with more than 18 civs on any map.

Glad to see this bug was fixed.
