All Hail the new 1.27 Patch !

Skyfish · 02-08-2003, 10:59

Hopefully this will be available soon for us UK version players but meanwhile I have gone throught the list and check these fixes, the best one being last

:

* Fixed lockup when loading pbem and switching to standard

* Fixed numerous bugs related to hotseat/pbem game modes and loading saves/scenarios

* Fixed Specific sequence pbem to scenario load crash

* Fixed crash when choosing scenario->load game-> then launching the loaded game

* Fixed a bug where units with 2 movement points would occasionally warp 1 tile when moved quickly in succession.

* Fixed a bug where diplomacy requests were sent to the wrong player/every player when loading a game.

* Fixed some display bugs in the Foreign Advisor.

* Fixed bug which caused walls not to be obsoleted by growing from a town to a city.

* Fixed an exploit allowing one to get extra shields during wartime mobilization.

* Fixed a PBEM exploit which allowed you to see other players turns even in passworded games.

Will also have to wait for Meli to find me a No-CD executable for that patch as I cant live without it anymore

Bleh. Roll on 2 months from now when they finally get the UK patch...

Good to see they fixed the mobilisation bug at last, that was a real killer bug!

Not sure what that last exploit is Sky, and I'm not sure I want you to post the details here thanks.

I thought they promised us everyone would get a patch at the same time from 1.21 on??? Apparently I didn't get that one as it was meant......

I'll stop now before I start ranting....

gaargh, now there's another chance to trash Firaxis for bugs and you all will have a good chance to find them all before I get home

That last pbem exploit allows you to get into single player mode and play as your opponent. Won't post how, never used it (of course [

] ) but I discovered that coincidentally.
I agree on the no-cd. I dramatically reduces loading time (and since I play on 2 computers I dislike dragging the disc with me all day...)

According to CFC the US version is also out. Guess which one we still have to wait for:

"Also, I emailed Jesse Smith today about the UK patch and he said it's not posted yet because the Atari localization person is new and didn't get the UK version wrapped with the right copy protection. The UK patch should be released tomorrow. - Thunderfall"

Anyway, within a couple of days we all will have it!

Oh no, and i was exploiting that city walls bug...now when i upgrade they will be useless

the password thing was almost useless, the only reason it was there was to stop you accidentally loading some one else's turn (from the main menu

). This is a good fix.

Yea i need that no-cd patch, i just got a free laptop, but it has no cd-drive, i had to borrow a cd-drive just to install the game.

digger760 · 06-08-2003, 08:58

hmm I see in the CFC patch center that US, UK and Euro version of the patch are downloadable...but i need a no-cd patch as i don't have a CD player in my new (free!!! C333 laptop)

I have updated the Patches page with the UK and US 1.27f patches. If anyone wants a different version of the patch just let me know and we'll get it.
