4th MP tournament (or should that be 2nd?)

[Snotty]

Sabrewolf, 1400 GMT works for me. Also I have no need for an early night so my transatlantic games can go on quite late.

[Snotty]

Damn, I dont think this 1.15 patch likes me very much. CTD the same as before.

When I do a clean install civ 3 gold, then c3c, what patchs do I need? I presumed civ3 gold comes patched, then I downloaded the 'full' c3c 1.15 20mb patch and now the same problem again.

[sabrewolf]

snotty... i'm in the IRC chatroom waiting for you...

edit:
iirc, gold edition has the newest patches for civ3 and ptw and approx 1.02 for c3c. i recall seeing the need of installing patch 1.12 BEFORE 1.15, but i'm not sure anymore.

[Snotty]

Even with a clean c3c 1.00 install I get the same crash.

Perhaps I am not uninstalling correctly. Nothing has changed with my pc or network since I used to play. Im going to put something in the help forum if this next try doesnt make it work.

[sabrewolf]

snotty has the same problems as the last time... that means i'm open for the match against nye... i'm checking my mails from time to time, so post, when you're ready.

in the meantime i'll try and get a friggin' SGL...

[sabrewolf]

crossposted...

snotty: you can check, if you've done a clean uninstall (uninstall all games and XPs and gamespy stuff) if you delete the whole subfolder and go to the registry (WindowsKey+R, "regedit ") and delete everything civIII-related beneath the branch
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Infogrames/
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Infogrames Interactive/

gramphos may know if some DLL register themselves... i'm not as good as him with this stuff

but i really doubt it's the installation's fault.

anyway... good luck!

I would instal patch .12 first, and then .15

[Gramphos]

There might be a few folders in Progrsm Files\Install Shield Installation (or similar that has an ini-file with a civ-related name in it For full uninstall these fulders has to be deleted)

Well this weekend seems to have been a wash. I have PMed Snotty, and hopefully we can get his problems sorted out, but I think we need more details.

I can get my games in with sabrewolf and Gramphos on any Saturday or Sunday where they are available during their evenings. I am a night owl and rarely (if ever) get up early, but I could be alive and semi-sentient by 6pm GMT or so if a meeting is arranged.

[Gramphos]

Next weekend is totally out of question. Saturday is booked for a 50 years celebration, and sunday I HAVE to study for the first exam (on monday) The weeken after that should be good (I have the last exam on Friday, and no new courses start before Monday)

This weekend went away quicklt, but at least I got civgroup news done.

[Snotty]

I remember now having to repair win XP, I guess that must have erased my settings. The problem is I dont know what it was I changed to make it all work in the first place.

Unless anyone has any ideas, I dont really have time to find the solution to this. My comp is being replaced in the next month so any searching will be wasted time.

Sorry to leave it all on such a bum note, but I am open to suggestions as to how to fix it.

[notyoueither]

That's too bad Snotty. Do you mean you have had to delete registry entries and then reinstal in the past? If that is the case, help shouldn't be too hard to get.

[notyoueither]

We're into the final week. If either Gramphos or sabrewolf are available later in the evening next weekend, let me know.

[Gramphos]

I might be able to play on Saturday night, but can't promisse I'll be sober ennough to do so. I can play in the early Sunday evening, but not to long into the night.

[sabrewolf]

i may be around saturday, too.

nye, what's the best way to contact you then?
snotty, is your installation working now?
