Warlords Patch 2.13 Released!

[strategyonly]

I keep getting a CRASH right away since i have downloaded and installed the new patch, Heres what i did, i started Warlords, press Advance and went to Check for Updates, it stalled there, but then i messed around a bit and got the WHITE arrow(not the yellow one) to an area that i was pressing and all of a sudden the install update showed up about three minutes later, installed the updated, restarted by PC, started up Warlords again, opened my MOD and POOF crash, i thought it might have been a glitch so i restarted it and this time it opened just the Warlords single player and i started in Play Now, it went to the map and there it was settler and warrior, so i opened up the WB, and looked around as soon as i closed the WB POOF crash, so i looked at this thread and looked at post # 49, and installed the directX the way it is supposed to be and restarted my PC again and same results, so i tried again with a different MOD and POOF crash right away also, any IDEAs what is going on here???

a DLL in a mod that was made for 2.08 wont work with 2.13, and will cause such crashes..

The reason for this is the function CvPlot::isCity() changed from having 1 argument to having 2 arguments.. and the exe file will call this function... so all warlords mods that use a custom DLL will have to be recompiled before they will work with new patch

Gyathaar, OK, thx for the info, will get on it right away, and again thx.

well i solve the problem before install the BTS Demo, but when i install the 1st thing it does is check and actualize the directX so i belive it solve the problem or at least have the files there.

I have a question/problem. My computer on which I play Civ 4 at home does not have Internet access. Will this patch be put on the 2k or Firaxis sites soon so I can download it from work?

The brazilian version doesn't work with the patch. We have to wait until the stupid publisher releases a special patch for us...

 

[Minor Annoyance]

This thing won't let me load my saved game. I'm just going to install the old version and let BtS sort it out on monday.

 

[moloTov]

realism mod boys..please get your mod patched for us. thanks!

I cannot get Warlords to start with the patch. I get an error message cannot find BOOST_PYTHON_VC71-MT-1_32.DLL. Vanilla starts without any problems. The message suggests reinstalling is this the only option?

 

[Cru]

My game was running fine until I downloaded the patch from firaxis. Now with both vanilla and Warlords I'm getting the following message:

Program cannot run because D3DX9_32.DLL was not found

Any idea on how to fix/solve the problem would be greatly appreciated

Search for the file on google then download and move it to the windows/ system folder... afterwards you might get the shaders problem though, in which case you download the direct X stuff, but this still doesn't work for me so I think you have to reinstall vanilla and worlords then install the patch, but I don't know how to uninstall without deleting my saved games...

EDIT
Never mind, I know how to keep save games but it still doesn't work. I installed direct X, uninstalledd and reinstalled worlords and vanilla, installed the patch, restarted the computer all in that order and still shader errors! I would just wait for BtS but I don't wan't to abandon Total Realism... when I install BtS will it fix these problems, even for Vista?

Did you install a version of directx9.0c that is from april or newer?

Yeah I went back thru the thread and found someone who said that worked for them. Tried it and it works now!

Thanks for the help.

He's running Vista and the patch will dl but it won't start installing. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Nevermind figured it out.

Uh, care to share the solution? I'm having the same problem (getting a "Setup.exe has stopped working error). For some reason since I started using Vista yesterday, all of my downloads have been very slow and repeatedly stop for a few minutes before resuming. I don't think it's my connection as other Internet functionality has been just fine. Anyway, the dragging downloads haven't caused a problem with any downloaded .exe files, really (including a 159 MB download, so size isn't an issue), except this patch. For some reason it seems my computer can't get a full download of the patch, even though it says it's complete. Last effort produced a file that was 39MB...
