My guess is we will see a final patch, which will fulfill only about %50 of MP promases. Infrograms offical word on it will be "well, if you don't like it than play by E-mail, hotseat, or LAN".

Infogrames has their money. They don't have to make any patches. Firaxis will, because they actually believe in their products. Call me a fanboy if you want but I believe that.

And if you spent more time listening to people who know how to make it go, and less time ranting, you would probably have some fun and find that yes, Virginia, it does work.

I assume this comment was directed at me. There's no need to get nasty. If you've been looking at my posts, you'll see that I'm very far from ranting anymore. However, sometimes it doesn't work for me. Sorry to say, but I've tried everything. But at least I (unlike other "ranters") am hopeful. I also hope to play you someday nye!

Speaking of which, I'd love to play an entire MP game sometime (most people quit after around an hour, lag or no). 'Poly looks like the best place to find dedicated players. Anyone interested, let me know.

Edit: Strike that last request. Just go to the 'Multiplaying' forum here on 'Poly and sign up on nye's thread.

No Dominae, not at you.

I look forward to seeing you on the wrong side of the Legions one day.

Oh, sorry nye, guess I'm a little defensive tonight...

Highly Dissapointed

I agree with [FX]Roman, I too am highly dissapointed with this game. Multiplayer is totally unplayable at this point, and thats why I bought it :/ Feels almost like robbery since EB doesnt take software back anymore... just exchange for the same game... Betcha Firaxis is laughing their way to the bank...

I doubt Firaxis is laughing. I'm pretty sure that they're working they're asses off trying to fix the problem

Now infogrames, now thats another story. they're saying Oui oui all the way to the banque.

I agree with that. Is Infogreed French? It would explain a lot

[[FX]Roman]

I just cant believe that the game was shipped in its current state. Dont both sides have to make the choice to say Aye or Nay?

If that is the case, they are both equal evils.

[WarpStorm]

Not really. Infogrames probably 'owns' Civ3:PTW and can ship it when they feel like.

Nope. When you're dealing with one of the big publishing companies (infogrames, vivendi, interplay, microsoft) if they say it ships on such and such a date, it'll ship then or you'll be out of a job. About the only people immune to that is Blizzard, since they're basically their own publisher. Officially Vivendi publishes their games, but most of the work is done in-house.

Ahh, I see, thank you.


Well, then in that case, they are retards for publishing it in such a state.

Who is the ******, the one that published the game, or the one who bought the game knowing their game release history.



ACK!

Corruption/Lag

Hi!

Everybody already read what was been say in the PTW: Release Party (hahahah, i'm sure Firaxis did not find this party so funny) by Jeff Morris:

"We`re aware that the gamespy connection stuff is problematic right now and it`s the focus of our team. "

It's the same word used by Civilization3 to describe corruption in Monarchy...

Did you think the word "problematic" is exact, when you compare the lag and the corruption under a monarchic governement.

Ciao, have a nice day!

And wish that a patch will be release soon!

Do you think the future patch will fix Lag? Cause the lag is pretty big? I've read many post to know how to fix the lag, and I never succeed to have a good game with low ping. I succeed one times, 2 players with 2 computers, but it was laggy, slow, like if i had only 32 meg ram with a Penthium 266...(i'm modem cable, 512 ram, and AMD 1.1MHZ)..
But, when i play medal of honor with 20 players on Gamespy with no lag at all, I just keep asking myself how Firaxis can release the game with so much lag?

But I play a very good game in LAN....
Wish the patch release soon...

I thougt the release of Civ3 was pretty good since I have never used Monarchy, ever.



Did you just call me a ******?
