TSG71 Delay

[Tinker]

Or pick a VC that barely gets affected, like Domination, Science or Culture, because that Mac patch might take a while.

Sorry to have to say it, but if the save is created with the patch, older version cannot load the save. So without the patch, you are out of luck anyway. Nothing we can do about this except hope the Mac patch is coming really soon.

Do you have an ETA for the save?

 

[dthompson32]

Aspyr says they have the Mac version of the patch ready for release on Steam (stand alone version will take longer). They are waiting for approval to release.

I can confirm (through personal stupidity) that saves made with the fall patch can not be loaded on systems without the patch.

Aaaaand we're open for business!

Sincere apologies for the delay, everyone. The patch officially released on the 15th was both a blessing and curse for various staff members. Leif and AlanH really came through in a timely bind for this one. This will still only run until Novembr 15th so it will be one, maybe one-and-a-half days shorter than normal. I hope there will be no conflicts with the patch. Our submission testing so far has proved reliable.

Good luck, everyone, and thanks for your patience!

My game has just patched to version 1.0.3.144. Probably some hotfix. I havn't found any release notes.

 

[leif erikson]

Just checked mine and the same thing happened. Must have just released it is I was playing earlier and it was the new, old version.

update:
From 2K's site:

There's a small update coming through today that includes:

[LOCALIZATION]
- Added support for Traditional Chinese

[BUGS]
- Fixed some issues with the Pitboss server.
- Corrected some multiplayer lobby issues related to WorldBuilder file names.
- Corrected a multiplayer exploit that could allow humans to steal other humans tradable items.

In fact. telling us these 3 things for every GoTM a day or two before it's released could let us all get some practice in before each one.

Looks like we won't get the pre-release informations (at least not for TSG72).
However, it might be a good timing for Guess of the Month So, what will the next game be????

Well, currently, post BNW, there have been games with :

• TSG67 : Morroco / Diplomacy
• TSG68 : Zulu / Domination
• TSG69 : Portugal / Science
• TSG70 : Poland / Culture
• TSG71 : Venice / Diplomacy

This leaves those BNW civs still unplayed

• Brazil
• Assyria
• Indonesia
• Shoshone

For the VC, it will probably be Domination or Science (unless they go for any). This would get Brazil out of this round as it's clearly a cultural civ. Dom was older than science, but last science game was low difficulty.
I would guess for either Shoshone/Science or Assyria/Domination (Indonesia is really a strange civ, so they might not throw it on high difficulty first).

Let's make a wild guess for Assyria/Domination/Immortal, and i won't buy you any cookies if i'm wrong

 

[leif erikson]

You're close!

How about Assyria, Science, Immortal?

 

[Monthar]

I was close. I suspected Assyria, Domination, Immortal. I even started a few practice games of it.

 

[Lord Yanaek]

Well, Science will sure be more subtle than crush everyone with towers domination.
Will need some balancing on conquest to benefit from UA vs keeping firends for trade and RAs.
Let's hope there will be at least one warmonger out there to get the hate (Shaka are you there??
