Tech Advisor shows Messed up Research Times

[yalejock]

When I am playing the game (on 1 of the 4 machines that works) the techs I am researching appear with decent research times in the main world view (i.e. Monarchy 17 turns), but if I go into the "Big Picture" Technology advisor screen... it shows iditic number like 540! and all other techs have crazy looking numbers as well... God Firaxis really messed this one up.

Any idea when and if they are going to release a patch or two?

Are you sure you're not looking at the research cost, instead of number of turns needed to complete it? The earliest techs cost like 60-100 research points but after that they have three- and four-digit price tags, so 540 would be appropriate for that second level. But if your civ is generating 30 research points per turn then you would only need 18 turns to complete something that coast 540.
