The new patch seems to have arrived

[jjkrause84]

I was on about turn 630 in a marathon game, and since the patch, lag between turns for me has been reduced like it was on turn one!! I do not have the deluxe version.

That is fantastic news if it's true for all of us.

I don't know if the patch itself is responsible, but two additional options popped up on the play the game menu -- one for the soundtrack, and one for a "making of" video.

Haha, so the patch granted you the Deluxe Edition? Congrats

I got squares! Ahhh it takes me back to the good ol' days

I've seen this before in my games many times. I doubt this has anything to do with the patch.

Actually I know I had the deluxe, because I had babylon, but I still had to go digging through the steam folder to find those. glad they included a link.

I have never seen it before and I have played a fairly large number of games so it is new to my system.

I loaded up a save from a large map in the late-game and it crashed before I even pressed end turn, so I would not get my hopes up too quickly.

Collector's edition?

Is it confirmed that only collector's edition legacy saves are having issues loading?

First thing I noticed that wasn't documented is the luxury resources being worth less. Would go for 300 gold pre-patch and now it's barely 150. Also I can't seem to 1:1 trade with any AI, they all want 2 resources for 1 of theirs.

Steam auto-updated and now Civ crashes when I load a saved game. Not amused

Give more details on trade pls. price varies based on your relations.

There better be another patch forthcoming within 24 hours for this oversight. How could something this severe not get tested?

Sadly this is common practice in modern PC gaming.

Map size is standard. I have a decent graphics card, but I also have Reason/Record running at the same time so it does not help matters. Time seems to be anywhere between five to ten seconds between turns. I forget what kind of graphics card I have. Either a 1gig or 512meg. 5gig of RAM running Vista 64.

I have no explanation why my turns went by so fast right after the patch. They have slowed down a bit I think, but are slightly faster. I think things may be quite different for other machines and games. I am anxious to hear how other players lag times are.

Same here.

 

[dexters]

If IBT lag has been reduced significantly, can someone confirm if the cultural borders bug/issue has been patched?

 

[gstommylee]

It's now impossible to enable mods.

Works for me. Have you tried verify the integrity of the game files?

 

[gstommylee]

Collector's edition?

yea it has cause people have standard and are able load games fine.

Good stuff the patch arrived, but I'm having too much fun with my Civ4 game right now to jump into Civ5. When I finish I guess I'll try to play but tbh I'm still waiting for them to do sth about City States and diplomacy.

Still, good start, keep it coming Firaxis

That's just too bad...
But if the patch fixed the save somehow, new game saves after this patch probably won't crash that often.

Do you know how many patches Super Mario Galaxy got, ZERO, because it was perfect on launch date.

But the game sucked just like all Super Mario and Super Mario like game out there.

I just patched and noticed one thing not in the patch notes (I think). You can actually view a conquered city before choosing whether to annex or puppet it. A definitely welcome feature.

^^^ THIS!!

Can anyone Verify this please?
