Civilization 5 hotfix released

I have noticed a few errors while playing the latest patch:

Problems I've noticed during ancient scenario:

I haven't seen the following problems during normal play, but it's probably there also

I had set a worker to build a road route to a tile just next to a city. On that tile a swordman was fortified. After clicking the end turn button, all the units I had set to move moved as they should, except for the worker, who complained that he could not finish the route as something was in the way. I couldn't move the worker to the tile with the fortified swordman for some unknown reason. I tried to activate the swordman, so I could move the swordman, but whenever I clicked the swordman it reactivated the worker again. It was completely impossible to activate the swordman. The next turn I could move the worker to the swordman, but for some reason the road was built in the tile with the swordman, it wasn't built there before


I also played a hotseat game. Both players ended up having a problem selecting the unit in the capital. For player 1 the unit could be seen, but you couldn't click on it, even though the popup says click to select. For player 2 the unit couldn't be seen, I could only see circle around the unit icon, but the unit icon was gone and no popup text when hovering over the icon that you couldn't see. I could select the unit from the unit-window in the upper left corner

I also just noticed in a normal play game, the citystate Soul refered to itself as Katmandu. You could see the name of the city was clearly Soul, but when hovering the mouse on top of the city it said Katmandu. I noticed this when I got a message saying I almost had no influence left in Katmandu, but was confused when I was sent to Soul

And just a few minutes ago I noticed I couldn't use normal keys when I alt-tabbed to Windows (using Windows 7) if I had Civ V running in the background (as soon as I closed the game everything went back to normal). If I outside of the game pressed M, everything minimized and the arrow keys unmaximized the window and sent it to the direction of the key (e.g. if I pressed arrow left, the window filled the left side of the screen)

I've noticed this too. When you hit end turn but the turn doesn't end, as units moving somewhere still have movement left when they arrive, you can only activate the units that stopped the turn ending.

Adagio,

Your first point is a bug if you have only one person to move, the programming is already moved on to the AIs turn and won't let you pick a different unit. In fact, if you have say 4 movement on that unit, and only move 2 spaces, it will clearly show the 2 spaces available, but end your turn. Of if you plan to move 1 spot and fire, you can move 1 spot and have your turn end.

Seoul was changed to Kathmandu because of the new Korean Civ.

The windows tabbing problem is due to the fact that Civ is sucking all your memory into the AIs turn. If you keep trying, you can get a flash on your screen and it will go to the next application.

It's shame that now that they finally have the conceptual things working OK, the mechanical ones don't. Some more examples are that the ! no longer stops the auto turn from going on, potentially giving the enemy free attacks. My favorite is if you click on a ! to change the focus and deal with the problem, it goes right back to where it thinks you should be.
