Something has changed with the patch. It seems your workers are not available the turn after they have completed their task. Anyone else notice this, or is it just a side-effect from the first turn after the switch to the patch?

Dominae · March 3, 2003, 15:45

alexman, I did not notice that problem.

I sent the turn to jshelr, but now he asks me to resend the turn in 1.14f. I can't do this, as we already played a whole turn in 1.21f.

Do we want to downgrade? In this case, I have to replay 550BC and we all have to replay the previous turn.

jshelr · March 3, 2003, 18:47

i don't insist on it but it would make my life livable if we go back to the prepatch situation.

Dominae · March 3, 2003, 19:06

All of us are playing in Strat PBEM 3, where Nor Me cannot use the patch. Therefore we'll need to switch back and forth every turn if we want to use the patch here. I agree that we should just unpatch, or stop playing Strat 3 until Nor Me gets the patch.

Ok, then I resend 550BC (one turn back) to jshelr with 1.14f.

Harovan · March 3, 2003, 19:27

550BC resent with 1.14f

jshelr · March 3, 2003, 19:30

this will be my last turn tonight

i have to make a series of speeches tuesday and wednesday. i should be able to play a couple of turns. but if i'm not responding, that is why

alexman · March 3, 2003, 20:59

1.14 version of 530 B.C. sent

alexman · March 4, 2003, 10:41

OK, who has it? Dominae?

Dominae · March 4, 2003, 10:51

Sorry, I'm busy and away from my home computer this week. I should have the unpatched versions send by this afternoon.

alexman · March 4, 2003, 11:09

No problem, take your time.
I was just making sure the save is not lost.

Dominae · March 4, 2003, 11:22

I felt guilty so made some time for my turns before school. Sent to Sir Ralph.

Harovan · March 4, 2003, 14:47

The savegame I received is at v1.21f. Can you please send the proper version?

Dominae · March 4, 2003, 16:19

How did you guys downgrade to 1.14? Apparently simply uninstalling the patch does not work; the game still thinks I'm in 1.21. I'm quite confused about this, actually (I hope no registry editing is involved). Will I have to reinstall PTW?

Dominae

alexman · March 4, 2003, 16:21

No, re-installing the 1.14 patch should work. But take a look at Sir Ralph's steps for a dual installation

Dominae · March 4, 2003, 16:28

I guess I have to uninstall 1.14, then reinstall it? I'll try that now.

Harovan · March 4, 2003, 17:01

I noticed, that "unpatch" doesn't work for some reason. I thought it's safer to make a clean installation.

Turn sent.

wish you all could be here

Dominae · March 4, 2003, 23:02

Winnipeg, I envy you not! Then again, I spent about 3 hours there in the middle of night, on an extreme hang-over.

Harovan · March 5, 2003, 04:07

Turn sent. What's wrong with Winnipeg? (heck, I don't even know where it is and am lazy to look up a map

)

alexman · March 5, 2003, 11:22

It's in Canada. That's all you need to know.

Sent to Dominae.

Dominae · March 5, 2003, 13:14

Canada is a pretty big place, you know...

Harovan · March 5, 2003, 17:51

Turn sent, a while ago. Before I went in the bar, that is. Now I'm back.

What is Canada?

kidding, of course. I know, it's one of the Great Lakes.

alexman, are you sure you speak no french? Your 'Laissez le fer' play on words is quite good even for a native speaker.

Harovan · March 6, 2003, 05:16

Turn to jshelr.

This Laissez stuff has a slightly obscene sound in German.

alexman · March 6, 2003, 11:14

Just because you Germans have dirty minds.

The game crashes on me when I try to check active deals. I hope this doesn't continue.

Sent.

Harovan · March 6, 2003, 11:30

It crashed for me on the same reason

. I had to replay the turn twice to get it through. Firaxis? Hello?

Dominae · March 6, 2003, 11:32

All of us PBEM players are just Firaxian guinea pigs.
