So when is the next patch?

[Great_Scott]

ANOTHER patch you say? Well of course! Firaxis/2K aren't going to leave the password bug for multiplayer games in the final version are they??!?! Surely not!

I've had a smooth Civ4 experience so far, and this is the only bug thats affected me. I created the MULTI-multi player Civ4 game REALPOLITIK, and we may need to, down the track, expel players from Civs as they are spies for another Civ. You see, in RP, each Civ contains 8+ players, all in a structured system with voting determining the Civ's outcome.

If a player is caught spying (it's actually LEGAL in the game, you see), well we can ban that player from the foreign Civ's thread in the forums, but how can we stop that player from logging into the PTBS game... ever?

I can change my domain name where the users connect via Direct IP, but then I'd have to boot that player together!

C'mon Firaxis! My game is the biggest thing to hit Civ since Rise & Rule or Civ Game of Democracy... and my players agree it's got the potential to be bigger than everything! Don't let a stupid bug like this potentially ruin games where 32+ players have poured hours upon hours of discussion, planning & strategy into!

There's already several threads about this. Go hang out at this one for awhile:

Yes, Soren himself responded to the other thread, you might get him to answer your question.

 

[Thasis]

Despite this thread, when is the next patch anyways? I heard that the SDK will be released with it? Any speculations?

 

[scienide09]

Perhaps you should take the advice given above and actually look at the other thread.
Right in his post, Soren mentions the SDK.

Get a life plz. This realpolitik thing is simply so childish. The game wasnt designed to be enjoyable like that... Maybe I am too sceptic, but you should at least stop advertising so aggressively and stop writing posts in bald all the time....

I can write posts in BOLD anytime I like. It's also [ FONT = Trebuchet ms ].. it's aesthetics, and I happen to be a fan of this concept. As for your idea that RP isn't enjoyable? Go ask any 1 of the players we have if it's enjoyable. For the record, every post I make advertises RP, since it's in my signature. Duh. Now please refrain from posting if you haven't got anything constructive to say. Consider yourself reported to the moderators.

Please use this existing thread instead. It's still on the first page:

In that thread, Civ4 designer Soren Johnson made this comment on March 5th:

It's coming soon... we wish we could announce a date, but we are trying to get it out as fast as possible. There is a lot in this patch (like the offical PitBoss and the SDK), it is taking longer than we anticipated.
