Anyone got a no-cd patch for PTW 1.21f? - Page 2

I'm still running the 1.14 cracked version. I love it because now I don;t have to change CD's between PTW and vanilla

Hi all. Does this mean that the Americans are using 1.14 for the PBEM's?

anarres · 12-04-2003, 00:43

I am running both 1.14f and 1.21f side by side.

You shouldn't need to downgrade, I will post how to do it (very simple) if people would like.

1) Make a copy of your CIV3PTW folder, call it CIV3PTW-114. You CIV3PTW114 folder should be in the CivIII install folder, along with CIV3PTW.

2) Update using the 1.21US patch.

3) Make a backup of your 'Civilization3X.exe' file from the CIV3PTW directory, copy over it with the contents of this zip file. (Thnaks to Mel for finding this!)

That's it! The Civilization3X.exe in CIV3PTW is now a cracked version of 1.21f, the Civilization3X.exe from CIV3PTW-114 is your normal copy of version 1.14f.

Note that each version will have it's own save directory, so your games won't get mixed up either.

Discalimer This apparently hasn't worked 100% for everyone, please make sure you are prepared to reinstall PTW from scratch if it all goes wrong.

Oh, I know how to do that since last weekend

. Thanks for the tip. Was this tip on CFC as well?

anarres · 12-04-2003, 16:45

Yep, someone on CFC posted how to do it.

I was very dubious so I didn't do it for ages. When people reported they had been using it without problems I decided to give it a go.

Both Versions installed!

Nice one anarres and thanks, however knowing my luck, they will bring out the 1.21 European patch on Monday
