    Patch confusion!

    Hi all, I`ve noticed some confusing things about PTW to do with the patch. Is the 1.14f patch needed by everyone? Poeple keep asking for peeps running this version only to join their games, @ Civ3.com they say this patch is only for the American version and not for the European one.
    Anyway, what the score with the patches... Plz... thnx alot Bigtool

    You can get the English-language European patch from http://www.infogrames.de/productpage.php?productID=218#. I'm surprised http://www.infogrames.co.uk hasn't got it.

      I found the patch at infogrames.com. I think it should be made clear where these patches can be got from. It is most confusing and Civ3.com should really sort it out. I went there first fro info and could findout nothing. thnx for the help Zulu..... lets hope they can make this thing work better. poeple are goingto be put of by this bad support.....

        Geeze, the whole community is peices. Most games don`t work due to patch conflitcs. There are ways of makeing this work. I think it may be a question of weather they want to fix these issues at all. Why did they release a game that worked so poorly???

          Trust me... THAT question has been beat to death around here.
          Infograme: n: a message received and understood that produces certain anger, wrath, and scorn in its recipient. (Don't believe me? Look up 'info' and 'grame' at dictionary.com.)

            How do I know what kind of civ3 I own? I bought it in Europe so it's supposed to be european, right?
            I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

              You can do so, yes. As long as your version wasn't bought from a web shop with its warehouse in the US, or your version is localized, I don't think you'll get any problems using the European patch!

                There is however, an English-language and a German-language patch European patch available. Make sure you get the correct one!

                  I have the English language, but I'm in Europe.
                  When I install the patch I'm being denied when I start the game.

                    And you did download the right patch? UK version and UK patch? I can't see what's wrong then...

                      So... the right patch for the european english version is located where???

                      Why was it necessary to make the european version different from the US version? Why bother to make it more difficult to make patches for the european version.... ?? I just don't understand these people sometimes...

                      And if there is a european patch out there, why isn't it on civ3.com?? can someone alert those guys??

                      happy holidays everyone.....

                        You can get it at civ3.de, under the pathes section and Euro-English part of that page.

                        That is a question as old as the patches themselves, I suppose... It's just like that.

                        Good question. I've wondered on that too... I do think that they've been alerted already, several times.

                              This is a mess, but Firaxis had nothing to do with it.

                              They didn't even know that Infogrames had released a European version with a different copy protection scheme until the complaints came in. Infogrames is in charge of copy protection and distribution and apparently never told them that they changed the CP scheme.

                              In addition, civ3.com is run by Infogrames, not Firaxis. Telling Firaxis that it is out of date won't do much good.
