sorry guys ive got my mac now and im in the last week of my final project. I'm going to install the boot camp beta but give me a week or two.

[aebbeka]

week #4!

[KrazyE]

.....That Mac must be working really well......

[Lumpkin]

sorry, i've been putting it off cos I know as soon as I get it installed I will waste loads of time playing computer games... (not PBEM, this only takes a 15mins max/day)

[sabrewolf]

i'll be away from tomorrow on until sunday, 15th.

hello everyone!

I have good news and bad news.

The good news is that I have finally installed boot camp, acquired my civ4 cd from the person i had lent it to and installed it (along with Beyond the Sword )

The bad news is that when I try and load up the latest save game file it gives me the following message:

'The save file you have selected is protected to ensure that the assets in your mod folder have not been changed'.

I click ok (only option) and after briefly seeing a message saying 'load failed' it closes civ and returns me to the desktop.

Any ideas?

[sabrewolf]

yeah, you probably patched before playing the game... we could solve it by you temporarily un-patching, or i replay the old turn (after patching) or whatever...

but this game is pretty much decided. i propose that we instead play a nice BtS game, uh? do you all have it or do you all intend to get it?

ideally PTBS, but i don't know who could host the game for that. otherwise a PBEM?

[Lumpkin]

yep, well done for winning that game. I'd rather just cede it to you then play it out to its inevitable conclusion. Considering I've played civ since civ1 (only my second multiplayer game though) it's quite humbling to be so thoroughly thrashed

What's PTBS?

I'm not sure whether I want to play another PBEM game or not to be honest. Now I can only play via Boot Camp, it just isn't very convenient to have to load up windows just to play one turn of civ. Maybe if we played with some epic world war scenario (maybe one of the ones included in BtS? (which I haven't even looked at yet btw)).

[aebbeka]

I humbly accept your congratulations on my victory. It wasn't easy, but I'm proud of what I have accomplished.

As for playing a BtS game... I don't know. We're back at the issue of spending $30 for something I rarely play. This problem can be easily solved by visiting this site.

As for Lump's delima, some new version of OS X called Leopard is supposedly going to have a "fast switching" feature in Boot Camp, where you can quickly switch between OS's. It basically puts OS X into "safe sleep" and Windows into hibernation. So you can quickly switch back and forth without ever having to wait for either to boot up.

I was thinking about buying it. Does it come with all the stuff from the first x-pack?
