The Official Apolyton Bug List Version 2.0

Just for the heck of it you might upgrade your drivers. Mouse driver included if you don't have a generic cheapie.

I think there is an end turn hotkey that helps with this. I don't recall having the problem a lot myself. I am pretty sure it happened a few times though. I am using Windows XP myself.

The K6-2 is known to have some incompatibilities with a lot of games depending on the chipset used but I haven't heard of any problems related to it and Civ III.

Re: Selected Unit Problem

Originally posted by Luticus
I've looked through the FAQ and this bug list and haven't found this problem I'm experiencing:

Usually, when you complete moving the selected unit, the game jumps to the next active unit so you can give it orders, and so on. In every game I play, there comes a point where it will not jump to the next active unit; the current unit remains selected with the animated white selection circle around it, *none* of the hotkey functions work, and I have to use the mouse to both select the next unit I want to move and to end the turn. I find that if I quit and restart, the game works fine for a while, but the problem inevitably reoccurs. It may happen after I've begun giving units drag-click move orders. In any case, it's incredibly annoying, and I'm surprised no one else has found this. I don't know how it could be system-specific...

Thanks...

P2 450 Mhz with 128MB ram, nVidia G Force 2 with 32MB 52X CDROM? Logitech wheelmouse.

I have the same problem but for me it only seems to happen near the 'end game'. I reported it a while back and have yet to hear anything, that was almost a month ago now

Worker Fights?

I ran into a very strange bug last night, and I didn't see anywhere to submit it on the civ3 website, so I figured this would be the best place to post it. Anyways, it's 2001 AD, I'm playing as the French in a Monarch game. I'm at the end of the tech tree, at war with most of the world due to nuclear strikes. All of my 40 or so workers are automated. But during the workers move phase of my turn, a few of them tried to go to my cities to sleep. As they did so, my mech infantry engaged them. The workers HP didn't show up, but the mech infantry fired 3 times, and they died. And I got exp for it, I got 4 of my infantries to elite [no GL though ]. Anyways, I've never seen anything like this, and yes, I am patched. I was playing anouther game before this, and in the year 2030, the game would crash at the end of that turn, no matter what I did. So if someone can tell me why my infantry killed my workers, I'd really appriciate it.

hi ,

care to posr a SAV(e) , ...

have a nice day

[Palleon]

Strange. I just reloaded the game, and I can't get it to repeat. I tried nuking people, and not nuking people, attacking and not attacking, and I can't seem to get the workers to die again. Guess it's a random thing.

[Ethelred]

You have discovered the work around. I am pretty sure that all pr at least most of the cases I have seen reported involved Mechanized Infantry. Might have been some others but those are mentioned most. Usually a nuke has used as well.

Reloading does take care of it. The bug has been reported all along but since reloading works around it, giving Firaxis a save to show them the bug is just a touch difficult.

I just found something else. I'm the Babylonians, at war with the Germans. I bombarded one of their improvements with my battleship. It swiveled AWAY from the target, pointed its guns out to sea, fired, and destroyed the improvement which was behind it. Now, this has only happened once, but I thought it was quite an irregularity. Maybe they just got confused.

Edit: It happened again the next turn. I am firing east of me, and the guns are pointing west. It doesn't seem to happen to any other units.

Shush!

You are not supposed to give away your secret weapons! It is the top secret Babylonian battleship fired, rocket assisted, 15 inch projectiles.

And it never fails to happen at the same point in the same turn, even if I load an auto-save or start from a previous save. The problem occrus during the 1900s or 2000.
