Patch?

[Eagle Pursuit]

why they didn't fix the Indonesian trait bug (you get unique luxury resources from any cities you conquered in different continents).

I wouldn't consider that to be a bug. It is nicely exploitable by other civs though. You can gift 3 island cities to Indonesia and conquer them back to have Indonesia's UA in your own cities without the need for puppeting or courthouses.

This is what I hate: they should release it for PC and Mac at the same time

"They" are two entirely different companies. Firaxis designs the fixes, and Aspyr translates them into the Mac version. And Aspyr then has to go through two extra approval processes before App Store release, with Firaxis and Apple.

A hotfix is an urgent patch to fix urgent issues with a release. Would you expect Firaxis to hold off releasing it to the vast majority of users while they wait for Aspyr to incorporate the changes and get them approved? You still wouldn't get it any earlier, and it would just delay its availability to Windows users.

BTW. It isn't yet available for Steam Mac users either.

About time. Important question: is it save-game compatible?

There's no difference in the save formats before and after the hot fix. Only the version numbers have changed.

Does the patch install even if you don't yet have Brave New World? My wife and I decided not to upgrade to BNW until we finally finish a game that we started months ago. We knew BNW would break the game. That being said, I play on Mac and she on PC. Anyone forced to install the update who doesn't have BNW installed?

It's a patch for all versions of the game on PC.

Aww, darn. I figured as much since they usually are. I guess I won't be playing with my wife again until Aspyr catches up. Poop.

Well, I had the hopes of mods being finally enabled in multiplayer with other people, but it doesn't seem to work. Well, guess I got my hopes up too fast...

Where is the DoF/denouncement counter?

When you go to declare war, it tells you.

Thanks - I was looking for an actual counter somewhere.

You can also see it under Diplomacy Overview > Global Politics.

Well, unfortunately the mod support is still not fully supportive, can't play custom scenarios in it... oh well, guess I'll wait for the Fall Patch *pokes Dennis as a suggestion for a feature of the Fall Patch*.

And by Custom Scenarios, I did mean Scenarios in general, hell, the DLC and EP scenarios don't have a "supports MP"... I really wanna try some of those scenarios in hotseat

 

[compwiz1202]

Dang it, I never got to use the Siam university + wat exploit...

But kudos to Firaxis for fixing the issues so soon. I may go after some of those achievements now...

Haha yea, the night I was going to try Siam they fixed it

THAT's what I wanted. Also, very nice mods, Barathor.

After the patch I keep getting the stupid acknowledgement popup after launching civ, before showing the main menu.

Thought it was one time deal but now it's back every time, whereas before patch I never had that popup.

Mods in multi aw ya lets PARTY!

 

[DeclanTKatt]

Do we know if any core .lua or .xml game files have been altered with this update? Mods including files like cityview.lua and ingame.lua would then have to be rewritten.

 

[eldiablonoche]

Considering I was getting the pop up glitch 10 turns into fresh games where I never so much as touched the keyboard (let alone F6) I can't wait to test out if it's been really fixed! Yippee, I can multi with my friends again!!!

 

[Aristos]

Can anyone confirm that the new denouncement counter is working as intended (Global Politics tab)? I see it bugged: shows always 49 turns left for ALL denouncements, and does not decrease from that number.
