unchecked hide extensions

[Addled Platypus]

and this is what I get sometimes


went to download the first hkcr file

WinXP

Civ4 in D:/ drive

one thing that looks strange is that no file name is proposed when saving the "saved game" from post #45.

one thing you might want to try is -once file extension hide is OFF- to go via file explorer to the folder (i saw you already have a desktop shortcut) and make sure the extension is .Civ4SavedGame . the capitals must be exactly like that otherwise the game won't recognise the file.
maybe you can even type the right filename in the "save as" dialog, but make sure you check it does not add on an additional .sav or whatever.

windows is quite a drag with the file extensions hiding.

I have been typing save names for awhile now.

All this had worked pre patch


The worse I saw was a CTP file go csg.csg

I just renamed the file, worked like a charn


Thank you for all your help and support

[sabrewolf]

so any success with anything i wrote down?

[Addled Platypus]

actually just now getting ready to unzip and execute

will keep you posted

[Addled Platypus]

still no success


Thanks again

[sabrewolf]

by the way, patch is out (try hitting update within the game. mirrored files download of the v1.52 update will probably be available soon...)

i vote for patching immediately, but will only do so when a majority of the PBEMs decide to do that.
from what i have read, this patch is great and improves many things!
what do you guys think?

[Addled Platypus]

I got nothing to lose

downloading - nstalling

[sabrewolf]

good luck

[Addled Platypus]

FYI

still no change

[sabrewolf]

guys, shall i resurrect this one or shall we let the 3rd try die with dignity?

[Mickeyj]

It looks like this ones dead, if anybodies keen for another PBEM let me know and I will set one up.

[sabrewolf]

yeah, i'd like to see another one

something nice would be a non-ancient start. i've got a classical and a industrial (with jshelr) start game going. especially classical is quite fun! maybe something a little further down the line such as medieval?

anyway, count me in!
