Patch is out!!!

Might take a while to download, but this is normal behavior for Steam. When a patch is brand new, (and we're about 6 hours old right now?) and the Steam servers are really busy feeding the demand, sometimes patches don't auto-initiate for a few hours. This is a huge patch
steam say 46599Mb this is true
full patch:p
i cant play a game or do some other...
steam sucks....
 
Regarding the quality of the game after patching, I am less than enthused.
 
The patch for me was only around 170MB.

Unfortunately the game now seems slower to start and IBT.

I've also just had my first hang playing a small map (game started prior to patch) and I'm only in the early ADs. Prior to this my only problems were late game huge maps and when they made games with Babylon incompatible between patches.
 
don't forget to also remove the following "gimmicky, unrealistic features"

yes yes -- arguments about historical abstraction are weak. My bad! The whole game is one big abstraction blah blah.....

I'll re-frame my argument, the true failure of those particular gimmicks is that they are bad for the game play reasons noted above (there being no basis for a fountain of youth or city of gold in history should always be a secondary concern to game play).
 
i woke up to a new civ day post patch and my latest game had corrupted savefiles and i also saw that many of the mods i where running had to be uninstalled because they stopped my first setler from settling down! and i got a lot of programmer-txt on screen. Im not impressed yet,but still optimistical... I dont want to stop using thals balance mods and going vanilla...not a realistical options when u have been in heaven
 
10 happiness or 500 gold? And I thought that goody huts giving you a free tech were already pushing the luck factor. 10 happiness is... more than the Eiffel Tower. Don't get me wrong, I like that natural wonders now have better and more diverse yields but that's really over the top.
 
Shift-Enter to skip the required production no longer works. The bastards have fixed that thinking it was a bug when it's not, I needed that option because I hate building these useless warriors every freakin turn.

Moderator Action: Merged into existing thread. Didn't deserve its own.

Why is everyone saying they downloaded 500mb worth of patch? I only had 170mb or something... So WTH!?

Fairly easy to explain;

-- Some people may somehow have different versions & integrated features (such as Mongols & Babylon) and while Steam has an opportunity to grab over your folders it thoroughly scans anything to find missing or corrupted files - which leads to the second point...

-- I don't need to watch Spanish, German or Italian intro movies.. so i scrapped them out (97Mbs here, another there). Along with their corresponding PDF manuals. And sure enough, they loaded the whole stuff right back in without my consent. Understandable though, since it allows for continual verification of stable release(s) over time. I don't mind at all, but this does add to a hugely variable amount of necessary MBs to download.

-- Many other files might also become larger in the process (all those dated 15/12, for example) of patching.

Their PC, yours, mine. The setups (OS, DX, name it) are mindboggingly complex.

You build a warrior a turn?

I highly recommend playing Vanilla only for a while or at least until all of these HUGELY_Impacting_To_Numerous_Features Mods are re-adapted to v1135 features by their corresponding authors.
Saves are also a bit tricky, since coding context & specific routines may very well interfere with continual linear db accessing, in particular most lua panels and certainly InGame_dispatching of constants are revamped enough to nullify (even crash) some Mod_calls.

As i said earlier in another thread, reloading previous saves is a gamble that hangs on a miracle. I got lucky with a few still, but there's no way to predict if a flaw might creep in later.

General rule of thumb; Gameplay evolves (continually) while the past fades away.

Whilst you're removing El Dorado and Fountain of Youth, don't forget to also remove the following "gimmicky, unrealistic features":
- 99% of Civs that are playable from 4000BC
- food resources such as wheat, cows, sheep tied to a tile
- science victory (since the space mission to AC is fantasy)
- random maps, since you only want the Earth map strictly
- random resource allocations
- random start locations
- immortal leaders
- immortal great people
- immortal units
- visible technology tree
- instant diplomacy
- unit upgrading
- golden ages
- predictable population
- entire food growth mechanic
- 100% employment (since no country has every person being a useful member of society)
- time scaling

Actually come to think on it, your best option is just to simply delete the entire game (since the game itself in its entirety is a "gimmicky, unrealistic" representation of history).

yes, but the fictitious landmarks... are childish and don't exist. They will work however in a Pirates of the Caribbean Mod, so its nice to know that they are still keeping modders in mind. :D

Things are also complicated by the fact the downloads page in steam does not make it clear that when a game is updating, the proportion completed is after decompression. The latest patch was actually about 100MB as a transmitted download, but reported as about 173MB by Steam.
 
New Natural Wonders are supposed to be fun (and have a reasonably fair impact on gameplay mechanics **FOR REASONS**) as they were designed.
Coke or Pepsi imbroglio, again.
Pure strategists want it all in a way they prefer while others refuse to give up their fantasy trips with fictional principles or assets.
Bread & Butter + Jam makes a meal.

El Dorado is an historical legend.
Fountain of Youth a myth of immortal Life.
Bolivia mines DID fill up Spain's sailships with treasures beyond value & utility.

Read their corresponding new pedia slots, if you don't believe Firaxis' agenda.

But damn it, stop complaining; Play or simply delete CiV off your PCs never to return here bothering us or me, cuz i'm tired of watching trolls & spooky comments about anything which barely ressembles whatever your definitions of a good game must be.

Yep, and if i had a choice back then... This game (as every other games i installed) would have been located on my G:\drive as usual instead of C:\OS\CORE\parsable\indexed\Registry-savvy\imaged_for_security\defragging_at_times... own little Internet\Prog\Folder_For_Steam_serving... and then yet another \SteamApps... and f-i-n-a-l-l-y "the last burried deep in the usual indenting Explorer structure" one for a Firaxis product called CiV.

All they had to do is popup somethin' like...
"Where do you want your purchased software to be installed?"
Our ways or yours?

Waaayyyyy Off-Topic.
And yet, that's what Steam does. Not me.

And, Not Impulse, btw.
 
How do you "work" a natural wonder...

eg I have Cerro de potosi and I'm not getting the +10 gold..
