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.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

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).Seemingly Benign

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

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.

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.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

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 , ......

No **** sherlock, but I dont spend my time worrying about what version you have or if you're involved in a game with someone who's involved in a game with someone who's involved in a game with me.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

Now since only real difference between US and non-US versions is copy-protection, here is one small test.
Non-US user downloads US patch.
Then "installs" it in some backup directory (just to not overwrite original 1.14f patch)
Now, pick 1.21f civ3x.bix and civ3Xid.mb files and put them in your PtW directory (backup original 1.14f files).
Now try playing the game with such setup.
Will it them be compatibile since you'll use same BIX files as those with 1.21f version (but you'll still stay with 1.14f patch)?
I don't know.
Only time will tell.
Someone could test it.
.
P.S.
By the way and chance of post-patch chat with Firaxis?Comment

Took a chance, and lost
OK, I waited for this patch (past the 90 day refund period) thinking, no make that hoping, they will get it all working.
I still can't connect to games (no firewall, no router, no anti-virus).
I unisntalled, erased, re-installed to no avail. Totally frustrating.
I don't think I'm the only one who still has problems. Whats the trick? $500 of new hardware for a $30 game? (I already swapped NIC, tried new video card, exchangd some memory with friend).
The only reason I bought it was to play online, and it still does not work. Any magical words of wisdom, anybody find the 1 odd-ball thing that made it all work?
Running Windows XP Home (up-to-date).
Soundblaster Live
Nvidea MX440 (Elsa).
Athalon 1.2ghz T-Bird on K7S5A MB.
512K DDR.
PS
Other Directplay games I use work fine.
Any hints as to what to try would be greatly appreciated!================================================== ==
Hmm, play by email, will i actually live long enough to see the end of the game?Comment
