Workers changed with PAtch- Help

[Reagan1984]

I just loaded the latest patch for CIV III (APril patch)

I went back to a game I was playing. The game was in the year 2013..... After installing the patch all my workers went back to the Acient versions of workers vs. the Modern ones. (in overalls)


What's causing this?

Are they working at the old speed again (vs. modern workers?)

Can I fix this?

Will this effect future games?


HELP Please

First of all, the patch from April is NOT the latest patch. The latest patch, v1.29f, was released in July. I believe the one you have is v1.21.

Secondly, your old saves are not affected by newly installed patches. The workers sometimes change appearances on me as well for whatever reason, but don't worry their work rate is not affected.

but be careful, you can't open 1.21 games with 1.29

Shldn't it be the other way round....

Yes, it is the other way around. OPening a 1.21 (or older) game iwth 1.29 is no problem, but a game saved in 1.29 cannot be opened by earlier version of the game...

You can't open a newer version with the older version in any program, but I had always error messages trying to open my old saves after I patched with 1.29. Thought everybody experienced this or is it just me?

I opened a save done with the out-of-the-box civ with the 1.29 patch. It worked OK.

no probs for me opening older games with 1.29f either ...

FYI,

I had downloaded the older update (1.21)

Based upon the first reply that I received in this post. I installed the v1.29 patch and the problem was fixed...

All is settled on my initial question.

Thanks for the help.
