Solver's Unofficial BtS Patch

[Solver]

And 3.03 overwrites this patch, so you need to install it again

Sorry if this has been asked before, but thi is a 30 page thread.... are the latest "Unofficial Patch" updates backwards compatible with previous saved games? Even with locked modified assets?

 

[Solver]

Not sure about locked assets games. Other than that, any version of the unofficial patch is backwards compatible with any saved game from 3.00, 3.02, 3.03 or previous versions of the unofficial patch.

Awesome, thanks. My girlfriend would kill me if we couldn't load our saved multiplayer game... Great job with the unnofficial patches by the way, you rule.

Edit: Also i'll you know whether my locked modified asset savegame works.

If you're talking multiplayer, then you'd also need the unofficial patch installed on girlfriend's PC in order for it to load.

Therein lies true service, in meeting the girlfriend / spouse obligation.

So... I downloaded the unofficial patch.. I went to my assets file, renamed the origional file CvgamecoreDLL1.dll, and dragged the unzipped DLL file into the assets folder... So - at this point, how do i confirm that the updates have been applied to my game?

Play You did all right.
And Welcome to CFC

So, if i have 2 DLL files - the origional and the new one, in the assets folder, the game will run as intended correct?

It should, yes.

As long as the new one is called CvgamecoreDLL.dll the game does not care if you put 100 backups with different name in there So yes

Hey Solver,

Just wanted to say that you ROCK!

I can kill you whenever I please... but not today - The Cigarette Smoking Man

...and that's my favorite X-Files episode.

Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable -- because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup. An English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts. If you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

Cheers!

ok ive done the auto update with 3.03. then i downloaded this patch and unzipped it to the assests folder in BtS. everything looks like its great. i start up the game and go to civlopedia to check something and find that anytime i click a link in there i get a ctd. any ideas on why? and how to fix this? id sure appreaciate it. so far i had enjoyed BtS untill i started installing patches lol. if i have to ill remove it and go back to before the patches

if i have to ill remove it and go back to before the patches

Unfortunately this is a bug introduced by 3.03 so you have to. Solver's patch is fine though so go back to 3.02 and apply Solver's patch...

 

[lord_graywolfe]

ok thanks ill download and install the 3.02 patch then. i hope the next patch they come out dosnt require another patch to fix it too

I'm very glad to see that there other people who appreciate the "Life is like a box of chocolates" speech. Masterfully done

Unfortunately you'll need to completely reinstall the game,as you can't just install 3.02 after having installed 3.03. But yeah, 3.03 has a bunch of annoying problems.

 

[lord_graywolfe]

well everything works fine now since getting rid the latest upgrade thanks for all the hard work Solver.

i do have a request for you to fix on a future upgrade if possible. for some reason in BtS when you spread your state religion to other countries cities it no longer allows you to see whats there as in the first two installments. im not sure if this is an oops or diliberate but id like to have it back the way it was myself. thanks again

 

[Colee]

It is deliberate. It is a consequence of the revamped espionage system in BTS. You still get some espionage benefits for spreading your religion though (meaning, espionage costs are decreased for foreign cities that have your state religion).

 

[Solver]

Yeah, it was changed for the new espionage system. If you want visibility on enemy cities, invest in espionage.

Thanks Solver for your and Blakes swift patching of the game.
I hope you will continue to do this kind of constant updating after the first official patch.
Also we players are the best tester group possible.
It worked well for Blake's mod for Warlords.
