Firaxis, please respond, RE: unfixed bug in patch??

[Xentropy]

I posted this in the main patch thread, but I believe it was lost in the flame war that yin (surprise surprise) trolled up in there, so I'm reposting here where it might be seen:

One of the largest bugs I've found in the game so far is not listed in the readme as having been fixed. If you get a tech from a goodie hut which should uncover a new type of resource, in v1.07f it does NOT do so. You are left forever not seeing horses or iron or whatever that tech should have shown you. Needless to say, this pretty well kills that game for you if you forget that this bug exists and don't reload an autosave before it scrolls off the list.

I consider this easily one of the top 5 and no mention of it at all. I severely hope that this was an oversight on the part of the readme.txt typist and not an oversight of the patch itself. PLEEEEEASE tell me this patch fixes this problem which has killed two of my games already!

Hanging Gardens Never Expire Bug

Here's another bug:

It appears that the Hanging Gardens never expire. I noticed it when I captured an enemy city with the HG and I also noticed it in an AI capital when I established embassy.

I don't know if it is the best game ever, but it is great. Butwritinglikethisisreallyirritating.

Firaxis will respond again and again to questions about civ-specific starting locations, to say again and again that they can't say anything, but they won't respond to my unique in comparison complaint?

And please, people, why must you enter my thread and turn it into another flame war? >sighs<

[Rasputin]

they only respond when they have an answer

[Badtz Maru]

The reason Firaxis isn't addressing this bug is that it appears you are the only person suffering from it. I frequently play Expansionist civilizations and therefore most of my early techs come from goody huts, and I've never seen this. I frequently get The Wheel from huts and that is always followed by horses showing up on the map. I'm pretty sure I've got Iron Working from huts before too and have never had a problem where there was no iron anywhere on the map - maybe not in MY portion of the map, but that's not a bug, just a problem that has to be overcome in-game.

Try reinstalling, it could be that there's a glitch somewhere in your install, it happens.

You're wasting your time buddy. They don't respond - unless they can point you in the direction of the freakin' editor.

Another IGNORANT statement made by a whiner.
If you want to critize them... fine. But at least be honest and constructive instead of lying and making stupid statements.
They have been answered many questions...
But I can understand if they don't waste their time by responding to rants made by idiots.

[Libertarian]

What's the point in posting something that everyone can plainly see is demonstrably false? The numerous Firaxian posts can be seen by everyone here.

[Mannamagnus]

Never came across this bug either. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist though.
Over to you Firaxis.

Perhaps you should check the facts before insulting someone. I've approached the team in a polite manner in various threads on this forum and similar to the vast majority of posters referring more delicate issues about the game, never got a reply. Besides I'm getting a bit tired of the endless whiner accusations from fanboys like you.

If you want to critize them... fine.

I did, but thanks for your permission.

But at least be honest and constructive instead of lying and making stupid statements.

Who are you to determine what's stupid?

They have been answered many questions...

Ok that sentence doesn't make any sense at all but in case you meant "They have answered many questions" then I can tell you: I don't care about the quantity - its the quality that matters to me and regarding Civ3 neither the game nor the postings of the dev staff shines brightly.

But I can understand if they don't waste their time by responding to rants made by idiots.

Yeah, I know what you mean ... they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. Sad story.
