??? You sure about that? I am playing PTW, in single mode, and every time I get to air wars and send bombers in I get a jet interceptor appear on the other side and BLUE SCREEN, game over!

Also, in the US "Fix List" on the mod, it clearly says it fixes just that buglet.....

Never had that bug....check your range on your bombers; it may be in excess of what the game allows (recomend a range no greater than 12) it is possible that it is causing the crash. (ignore if you do not mod)

of course you should make sure that the origional and PTW are fully patched (1.29 for CIV 3, 1.21 for PTW)

Aha!!

Just twigged your location. All you folk in CONUS have the advantage that dear old Inforgames/Firaxis/Atari/whoevertakesemovertoday got your fix out almost immediately for PTW.

The rest of us poor mortals in OCONUS [Who incidentally pay Pounds Sterling where you pay Dollars US] continue to get shafted because they cannot work out how to fix "localisation issues".

BTW, I know that the rest of the world pays in other currencies than Sterling however the principle applies that any techie stuff costs 66% in the US of "real world" prices. Don't even get me started on the price of their gasoline!

Basically, as soon as they realised the PTW game was seriously flawed they got a US fix out and we are still waiting several months later despite having paid more for the game in the first place.

Oh, and the games I am referring to are not modded at all, still trying to play through a whole game with "bog-standard" software before making mods.

I have a UK version of PtW (on a US version of Civ3) and I've never seen that bug. As far as I know, You are the only one compleining about the interception bug since the first patch for Vanilla Civ3 came out. It is most probably a problem from your copy or your compuer, so you should check Infogrames' support

I am now seriously considering therapy because clearly I am insane and you are all sane. However, if you look at the other threads on this board and also main topics of conversation on other newsgroups such as alt.games.civ3 then you will see that the US version HAS been fixed of just such a bug as I am complaining about and also that they are about 3 months behind on releasing that fix to the rest of the world.

The fix is V1.12f (see separate thread on here) and it, amongst other fixes:

* Fixed a graphics issue with bombarding and interception causing a lockup and graphics corruption.

Having said that, the voices in my head are arguing but then they always do.

More unit abilities sound cool. Maybe we get a pikeman defense bonus against knights at last.

cheers

Who knows, maybe we'll also have ground units with an "Anti-Aircraft" ability!! That would be incredibly cool, and finally give ground units a means of defending against aerial bombardment!!

Yours,

I wrote back to them and suggested that if they fixed the existing bugs in PTW then I would be more than happy to entertain purchasing some more products from them. Until that time......
