PTW 1.04f Bug & Crash Reports

[MC Hawking]

My game has started crashing every time I try to move/use my last unit before the end of my turn in the year 1822, even if I go back a turn and disband the unit that I had given the order to that crashed the game. In addtion to that I can't attach the save file because it's too big, even when compressed with winzip.

I'm running a 1.7 GHz Pentium 4 with 512 MB RAM and Windows XP, I'm using both the actual Civ3 and PTW(no warez) with all the patches. This game appears to be dead, there go 13 hours of my life (according to the timer that comes up when I retire).

Only pirated versions need that file.

Trivial bug in text

I have noticed that the Viking leader is gramatically challenged. When he complains about my unit near one of his cities, he says something like this:

"We have spotted Stavanger. Do not make folly in our lands, Hannibal!"

instead of "We have spotted your units near Stavanger."

I can fix that myself, but it should be corrected in a future patch.

What makes the picture of Juana de Arco in the hall of Isabel la Catolica?

Alfonso, you must have eyes like a hawk to have noticed that. Were you playing France by any chance?

[WarpStorm]

Maybe it's her "special friend".

[SpencerH]

I looked and it was in my game, and I wasnt playing as the French.

I'd like to point out to folks who're having what may be copy-protection-like problems that PtW uses SecUrom protection while CIV3 uses Safedisk (gleaned from the civfanatics-firaxis chat). It might explain why some of us who had no problems with CIV3 now have problems (albeit minor in my case).

when playing regicide, I have eliminated all of the AI civs, the game continues with no victory screen even if I'm the sole survivor......does that mean that the new victory short modes are only cosmetic in SP in order to complete one of the traditional victory??? Left with only 2 choices in an empty tiny map filled with ruined cities: retire, or sacrifice my king in a galley in the middle of the treacherous ocean, since you cannot disband it, and see what happens...I've done the latter, and: Civilization 3x has caused an error in CIVILIZATION 3X.EXE........will now close.....oh my god SP is buggier than I thought......and I still have an empty Hall of Fame after 16 days of gameplay because of the unmodded/modded rules bug.....

Firaxis, you reading this ? Too much incomplete info and feedback

The answer may be in this thread ...

When I go to build a city, and then decide NOT to build a city, it will skip that name. As an example the order for my cities are A,B,C,D, etc. I decide to build city A and then decide not build it. The next time I build a city I will ask to build city B, thus skipping city A.

This did not happen to me in regular CIV3

See the readme. You have to open up a lot of the firewall to be able to host behind one.
