Where is the Patch?

Paddy · February 26, 2004, 07:09

Ok, so I may be missing something here...

but where is the patch?

DrSpike · February 26, 2004, 08:50

I've asked the administration to sort this out, but to no avail. Follow the link in my post in the topped thread about the beta patch location. This leads to an untopped thread with the relevant info. The patch is hosted at CFC.

Paddy · February 26, 2004, 08:52

Thanks, I will go there now

and we have no current thread here on it?

we are talking about the last week of February U beaut 1.8 or 2.0 wonder patch, right, that is what I am looking for

DrSpike · February 26, 2004, 08:59

I don't understand. The current patch is 1.15 beta.

Paddy · February 26, 2004, 09:03

was that released this week? I thought 1.5 Beta had been around a while.

I may be way off base here, but I have in my calendar that FireAxis are releasing the main patch in the last week of February 2004. I thought it was to be rated as number 2.0, but some I speak with say it will be 1.8

It is this new patch I am searching for

DrSpike · February 26, 2004, 09:07

That version has not been released. However, if you don't have 1.15 beta I recommend getting it.

Of course, we should have a topped thread on the current patch, and removal of topped threads that have misleading and outdated info in them.

Paddy · February 26, 2004, 09:09

well said on the threads being topped

any ideas on the new patch...?

DrSpike · February 26, 2004, 09:20

It's on the way. Check over at CFC for more recent info. I'd install the 1.15 beta patch now because the official patch may take a while. If you are concerned just install another version of Civ3 and patch that.

Paddy · February 26, 2004, 09:24

thanks

Fatwreck · February 26, 2004, 12:00

the official patch is coming in Q2 IIRC?

DrSpike · February 26, 2004, 12:04

I believe late February was the last estimate I saw, but it changes quite a bit so I'm not entirely sure.

vmxa1 · February 26, 2004, 13:45

They said Feb, but probably will not make that target.

Shogun Gunner · February 26, 2004, 14:29

patch hosted at CFC, but not Poly?

yes, that would be a shame...!

DrSpike · February 26, 2004, 14:41

They'll host the official patch I expect.

MrWhereItsAt · February 27, 2004, 02:23

Interesting how it is taking longer than expected. With the beta patch more than adequate, perhaps they are adding in more than we believe they are.....

Or perhaps they're all just having an extended, late holiday.

Lucky sods if they are.

Aqualung71 · February 27, 2004, 02:27

Alexman posted a rumour in the AU forum recently that another Beta patch was to be released in the next day or so, numbered 1.18, so this is probably where the confusion has crept in.

Check it out here

DrSpike · February 27, 2004, 08:00

Well I checked that out and he said official patch (ie the one that we were expecting around now) and the "1.18?" looks speculative.

Paddy · February 27, 2004, 08:03

speculative... ???

cause they are not getting cash for it...

Ok, I am a tad steamed... they gave a lot of words of this was coming...

Thanks for checking on that.

DrSpike · February 27, 2004, 08:09

No, the patch will definitely arrive, but the "1.18?" looked speculative, as if he wasn't sure about the number.

Paddy · February 27, 2004, 08:11

ok, thanks

WarpStorm · February 27, 2004, 09:26

Firaxis is definitely still working on the patch. They just aren't releasing it to the public at large yet. No need to get upset.

Shogun Gunner · February 27, 2004, 10:05

Sorry to harp on this, but isn't 'Poly large enough to hold "an official patch". I believe we can be trusted with such things... Is "the other site" bigger and badder than us? Have we fallen from favor with Firaxis, et al.?

DrSpike · February 27, 2004, 10:22

The reason the patch is not hosted here yet is it is a beta version. The official patch will I'm sure be hosted when it arrives.

Fatwreck · February 27, 2004, 11:15

I looked at some old threads and Jesse said that the official patch would come late febuary at the earliest, so we probably still have some waiting to do

dexters · February 27, 2004, 11:37

I'm hoping Firaxis is still cranking away at it. There's so much still on Alex's thread that could be fixed.

WarpStorm · February 27, 2004, 13:16

Firaxis is definitely still working on the patch.

asleepathewheel · February 27, 2004, 13:32

hope they get something official out soon. I wonder if they are still going to introduce worker gangs to the game.

vmxa1 · February 27, 2004, 13:51

Since I don't need a new patch, I am happy to wait. I treat it like DiabloII or Space Empire IV patches. Every now and then one comes out and they are useful, but I did not need them to make the game playable. It is just a bonus.

1.12 was very necessary for playability.

1.15 was a bonus.
