PATCH v1.21f bugs and issues.

[SpencerH]

I'm so pi$$ed-off I could spit! This whole thing has been a farce. We have to wait for gramphos to update his multi-tool. The firaxians virtually mentioned him by name in that regard. They should be paying him for his work.

[Grrr]

Yeah, but it won't happen, sadly. They won't be in a hurry to create one as long as people like gramphos do it for them.

[lockstep]

Gramphos' update is already available.

[SpencerH]

Thanks I'll go look. I think that the only thing that explains their "no-comments" is they plan to sell it in XP!

Is there any way to auto-save without compressing?
It takes too much time between turns while the game saves and then, compress.
Now, i'm playing smoothly without the auto-save option, but i still want it. No care for disk-space.

Cya!

[Grrr]

Is that why my early turns take so long.

Compression should be an option, and used in PBEM games.

Okay, here's my problem. I just installed 1.21 and now I can't load any of my saved games from 1.17. It gets to about 5% loaded and then I get up a Windows pop-up that says Data I/O error. Anyone else had this problem?

[randommushroom]

Ack, things are really screwy. I just tried to start a new game, and nothing, nothing would happen.

[Grrr]

Pop the case off your computer, and check if your IDE cables are inserted properly. Also, your motherboard may be on it's last legs. (Mine died a week after starting geting I/O errors).

[randommushroom]

Heh heh, I always keep the case open anyway! They're fine.

I solved the problem anyhow, by uninstalling completely, reinstalling the game and then doing the patch. I loaded some saves now just fine.

But thanks for the suggestion.

[Grrr]

You keep your case open all the time ! Does your computer not become incredibly dusty due to this.

[randommushroom]

Yes it does, that's why I use compressed air to clean it out from time to time. But for a whacko like me, who likes to fiddle around with hardware, it's much easier this way.

[Grrr]

That's for sure. The only thing, is that somepeople ... my brother... use a vacuum cleaner to clean their computer. And that was the end of his RAM, MOBO and Video Card.

It seems they didn't like us adding units as they turned off this ability. Yet at the same time they added the ability of the Units32.pcx to hold icons for an unlimited number of icons. Same for Resources. Why would you enable one thing and then enable something else that makes the first thing pointless?

Because they are starting to seem as if things are really screwed up over there. Some of these errors are excusable, but many are not. Some on their own are enough to make me wish that i hadn't bought this game....

To me it makes sense that the old utilities were shut down. Imagine Infogrames being pleased by being bombarded with requests for help by people using *hacked* games?

They tell Firaxis to eliminate the *hacks*. Firaxis does that, knowing that the hacks would just be remade.

What I find curious is the multi cheat. What harm was done by the players being able to examine the game?
