What is the latest version number of Civ 2?

[stwils]

My Civ2 is 1.06 (I think.) 1996.

I saw Civ2 for sale in a new double jewel case for $9.98. Would this be a later version?

I have just gotten a new Dell Inspiron computer with Win ME. After I downloaded the 2.42 patch, the music quit playing. Really upset me.

So I reinstalled the game and left off the patch. Still no music.

Then I rebooted a few times and the music is back. I just don't know how long it will keep playing! And every time I start the game I hold my breath until I hear the music.

Right now I don't want to download a driver for this new computer. Why would any of the drivers be old? This is 900mhz,GeForce2Go graphics, 256mg.

Do you think this version I saw in the new jewel case would be a later version? Would it be worth the chance to get it and install it over the version I have? Would that give me the music with no problem?

I don't want to lose my music again.

the version in the double jewel case is 2.42 and if you have a problem with the patch then most likely you'll have a problem with that. One question though did you have the CD in the drive when you turned Civ on? If you didn't there would be no music. Also you can get the FW patch from me that would make your version 2.7.8 I believe. Off-Topic glad to see you still playin Stwils, guess you like the game now.

If the cover doesn't say it's Civ2 Test of Time or Civ2 Gold, then it's the old version (the version you have).

To fix the music problem, you may want to update to the latest Indeo drivers at http://www.ligos.com/index.phtml?pi=103

Thanks. So I have the latest version. Or at least adding the patch would make it the latest. (2.42)

On downloading drivers ... do I need these because Win ME is lacking? Or because my new computer is lacking? Or because the game doesn't have these needed drivers?

My music is still playing . But I live in fear that it will stop.

Love the game, but still a long way from really being on top of things.
