Patched, but weird result

[McPolle]

Hi guys,

I got the Beta patch yesterday, but have had a few weird things happen.

In the start menu, it says Build barricade, instead of Start new game, also number 2 and three in the list are different.

Is this normal????

No.
Perhaps you should de- and then re-install it

lol, build barricade? I'm sorry, that's just too funny. Yes, uninstall it, and make sure you manually go into the directory and delete the patch files and whatever else is left before you reinstall.

I want Barricade in my basement!

Make sure that Civ3 is patched to 1.29f, and PtW (if you have it) is patched to 1.27f

And make sure you don t smoke strange things before opening Civ3 !

Where do you find these updates, if anyone could point me in the right direction, so as that I can save the page.

Also bit of a bummer if I need to re-instal, I have just started a game where I am for once doing really well.

My advice - play yer game and enjoy, you can always patch later!

I've read that loading and trying to play old games from before a patch doesn't always work so well.

Maybe he said YUMBO! while installing and then got this result...

 

[TerraHero]

The magic random result when yelling YUMBO!

I patched it as well, seems fine..maybe yah got the wrong patch?

the US patch can't go with any other game..such as French

UK patch can't go on the German..so u need the right patch.

 

[McPolle]

That's maybe what has happened then, maybe I patched the wrong version or language.

no you used the no cd patch of v.1.00 . Dont use a no cd. So simple

 

[McPolle]

Hi Sunstone, how can you see that???? And where to get the proper patch???

Thx

Tried the v.1.00 Nocd with the 1.12 beta patch but it showed the upper results.
there is no nocd for the beta yet. Use your cd to start the game.
Over and out.

Yeah, I tried that and it didn't work too well. In certain circumstances, the game would crash back to the desktop.
