PTW v1.21f Patch Released

[Panag]

hi ,

"For the US version only and is completely incompatible with any European version."




"IMPORTANT NOTE: This patch is designed for the US version only and is incompatible with any European version of Civilization III: Play the World. "


why is it so difficult to read the above before one downloads , ......

have a nice day

Here's a little bug (of sorts). If those with US versions upgrade we cant play PBEM with non-US versions. This has led to a big bollux-up with some people (including me) upgrading then trying to remove the damn thing (with the usual success).

On that note, does anyone why the splash still says 1.21 if you remove 1.21 with windows 'add/remove programs'? It seemed to work (except for the splash) but it would save a bunch of trouble if I knew for sure.

I wonder what Soren did to the AI this time. Last patch was GREAT in terms of AI - Changes. They don´t mention it, as always.
Experiences ?

[Wittlich]

Well, enhancements are for CivIV.
I know, but I can always hope.

[WarpStorm]

I wouldn't expect any enhancements in the future either (as I didn't in this patch), just bug fixes from here on out (although, I'd like to be pleasantly surprised).

[SpencerH]

So they've fixed some of the game bugs. Whooop de do. There's none of the improvements I was hoping for. I'll finish my existing PBEM games and thats it for CIV.

Any changes to the default scenario rules?

[ricketyclik]

What about existing PBEM games? Can they continue if the patch is applied to one or more of the players' copies of the game?

[Spiffor]

All Civ3 or PtW patches previously could be implemented on vanilla versions of the games. I cannot install the patch now (I have the UK version), but it is very likely the patch can install on a vanilla PtW too

[Alex]

And now for my usual stupid question: can I install this patch over the vanilla PTW or do I have to have v1.14 in place prior to do so?

[Alex]

Good. I'll wait a bit longer to download it, though. Terrible past stories of wrong patches and fubared installations... Although, from what some people say, this one seems to be OK.

[ChaotikVisions]

Hmm, a patch. I saw this news yesterday while browsing the MoO3 forums, was thinking "1.21f? Isn't that already out for Civ3..must be European". Of course, now I realize its PTW and 1.21f not 1.29f. Patch looks pretty good, though doesn't seem to be any major changes to SP, the military advisor speed getting fixed is great though. For now though, my galatic conq-, er unification must continue in MoO3.

[Spiffor]

Great
I can't wait for the UK version to ship !
