Civilization 5 Hotfix Patch 1.0.1.348 has been released

[mkorin]

I started Steam this morning and Civ 5 got a 60 meg download. Does anyone know what this patch does?

- Hot-Seat: Refresh resource icons for each player so that you cannot see another players resource icons above the fog. This also allowed you to see the location of a natural wonder discovered by another player as well. Both have been addressed with this fix.
- Hot-Seat: Fix auto-save issue that was causing “Next Turn” hangs on re-load when players had no AI in the match.
- Policies: Fix an issue that was causing policy finishers to count against the cost of the next policy (should be free).
- UI: Map Options panel now works correctly for both multi-player and single player.
- Modding: Fix problem that caused errors when starting WorldBuilder.
- Modding: Fix problem causing WorldBuilder maps loaded as scenarios to always load the first leader slot instead of the selected leader.
- Exploit: Close exploit that allowed a user to “sell” a free building for gold each turn without losing the building.
- Multiplayer: Because of a hot-seat change, the chat window would end your turn every time a user hit “enter” after typing something in chat. This is now corrected.

What was the release/version number?

[mkorin]

It is labeld as a hotfix, not a new release number, at least on the steam news page.

Most importantly, there is a big tacky button for CivWorld now on the main menu.

And it doesn't appear to work!

Just try to verify the install, no need to do a complete reinstall before all other options are tried.

[Addled Platypus]

here is what I get

from cd insert
play/reinstall/uninstall

when I click play it gets as far as updating steam and nothing

from steam

clicking play - updating steam - nothing


oh the joy.....

but thanks for trying to help

[Nikolai]

You have of course tried to close down Steam completely and restart it?

After that, try this: Right click on Civ5 inside Steam --> properties --> Local files --> Verify integrity of game cache.

This has fixed similar problems before, so it's worth a try.

EDIT: You don't need the CD btw.

[Addled Platypus]

yep have tried a restart of the computer
I am aware of no cd needed. just velt like eliminating possibilities

will let ya know of the right clicky thing

thanks again

UPDATE:
all files successfully validated

attempting to play

[Addled Platypus]

denied........suprise, suprise

its taken two days now just to get registered for steam forums, just to leave a bug issue thread

wtf ???

[Addled Platypus]

Ive been saved by the Civgods

just a reinstall, everything else was still there


still was a headache from a simple patch...what next??

[Addled Platypus]

I was so mistaken

I did not make my saving throw vs the Civgods

I had managed to play for 1 day and thought all was well

a couple days later, tried to play again

WTF.......

unplayable again

Im back to my original rant

GOOD BY CIV for ever, tired of wasting my time

[Nikolai]

Try one last thing: delete the game cache and database directories, if you haven't.
