PTW 1.04f Bug & Crash Reports

[syf]

While playing a LAN game with 2 players and 4 AIs, i've noticed that there's a problem with diplomacy and AI.

As in before it seems to 'syncronize' after the trade is done, it's possible for the other player to do the same.

Example:
person a) trades nationalism to the ai for 40 gold per turn.
person b) has 5 seconds to do the exact same thing, and get 40 gold per turn aswell.

"Worest Game Ever!"

Now that may be a bit of any overstatement. But honestly, I've never seen such a buggy game and I've done beta testing before.

Setup:
Custom Built (Water Cooled)
P4 2.53 GHz
512 MB DDR 2700
120 GB Hard Drive
Audigy 2 Platinum
Geforce 2 (yeah I know, I'm waiting for the Geforce 5)

Playing over a high speed LAN within the same house.

The Good:
- The single player is great and I love all the new stuff.

The Bad (oh, where should I begin):
- I haven't been able to sucessful get one mulitiplayer game past the 2nd turn.
- I have found AT LEAST 10 seperate errors in the basic operations with in the game
- Cannot play turnless with computer AI (somewhat understandable, but still a problem as far as I'm concerned)
- Cannot play with even just 2 human players because the inface is soooo buggy that as soon as I queue to build a settler I lock up the game-everytime.

The whole idea of this expansion was so that we could finally have multiplayer abilities in Civilization III.
But guess what?
Only about 1 of 100 people can even use the Mulitplayer without the game dying a horrible death.

Firaxis needs to fix these problems ASAP if they want to have ANY future customers.

Hey, hey. I swore that I wouldn't buy PTW but happened to be in the store so I wandered over and asked a salesperson where it was. He said, "Man, you don't wanna buy that!".

Good. You should wait until it is perfect. Less noise that way.

another bug

bug Report:

I have found that around 3/4's of all the TURN-BASED games with NO CLOCK hang after the end of the last player's first turn.

When this happens, the "It's your turn" dialog usually does not show up.

Clock games seem to flush this out.

2 Things:

1st: Whenever I try to play MP, not only does it not work, but when I give up, I have to walk down the hall and reset my router and DSL Modem (I'm on a home phone line network, never had problems like this before), as well as reseting my PC.

2nd: In SP, the pop-up for unit construction completion never shows. I've selected it through the Preferences menu, but no luck.

Can't start at all after instaling patch

I installed the patch, but now I get the error message that some .dll file is missing. I reinstalled everything, but the same thing happened the second time

What is going on ehh?

I run win xp pro

@Jesp:

Which dll is missing?

[Jesp]

missing dll

ifc23.dll mangler.

Har du den? Kan du ikke lige smide den efter mig på min mail hvis du har?

På forhånd tak

@Jesp

You asked the wrong person, bro'

I will not send you the file. The problem is you're using the pirated version of the game. Even if I sent you the file, it would still be buggy as hell. So get rid of the warez version and wait for the game to be released here in the little ol'e kingdom.

If you find bugs when you have the legal version, I'd be happy to help you out.

@Daedalus106:

1st: Did you configure your router to open the necessary ports?

2nd: No Idea - could you post a savegame?

[Jesp]

Got the Original

Why would the developers place a pirate version of the game in the original box?

I just bought THE ORIGINAL this afternoon, so do not tell me that is the problem.

I am in Moscow at the moment, and the game was released here a few days ago.

so.. any suggestions what to do?

Pull another one!

The lead programmer of the game has confirmed that this file is missing from the Warez version.

If it's missing from your disc, you're either running the warez version or you need to contact the vendor cause then you have a defective disc (what a coincidence if it's the same file that got corrupt on your disc, huh? )

Also - IIRC the game is out in North America only - Is Moscow in North America?

Nice try.

[Daedalus106]

I figured #2 out, apparently if you chose the build the same unit option, it won't open the construction pop-up. I don't recall that being the case in CivIII. As far as the router, how do I go about configuring it?
