... another thread that can help us to wait for the next patch

Hi Everyone.
As you all know, Civilization III: Play The World was released a couple of weeks ago and we quickly became aware, thanks to feedback from many of you, that there are connectivity and lag issues with the internet multiplayer component. I want to update you on how we’re addressing these issues and let you know that we are working diligently to remedy the situation, and that we will see it through. A patch for Play the World is now being tested and we will announce its availability very soon.
The patch we are testing addresses issues related to internet play including, fixes to the matchmaking process via GameSpy Arcade, improvements to overall game speed, fixes for lag issues and “player-drop” crashes, and the addition of Direct IP support.
We appreciate all the positive feedback we’ve received concerning PTW’s single-player features. We’ve also heard from many people who are having great multiplayer experiences using their LANs. We are doing everything we can to ensure that the Play The World internet experience is every bit as fun and reliable.
We certainly regret that PTW’s debut was less than what people have come to expect from Firaxis Games. I want you all to know that Firaxis is thoroughly committed to making great games and to supporting Civilization III: PTW and fixing the outstanding issues as soon as we can. We appreciate your helpful feedback and continued patience.
Best,
Jeff Briggs
President and CEO
FIRAXIS Games
