A Note from Firaxis Concerning the Civilization IV Patch November 16, 2005 Hello everyone! I've heard from many of you via the Firaxis website Contact Us form (many thanks for all the dxdiag files and savegames) and wanted to say thanks for all the feedback and detailed bug reports that were sent up. I just wanted to let everyone know that as of Monday afternoon, the patch was sent to 2K for final testing, so barring any problems in QA, we will be releasing it shortly. Some of the highlights include multiple AI improvements and tweaks, worker behavior tweaks, MANY game play improvements (ex Animal Husbandry reveals horses), promotion tweaks, a softer pillage sound (requested by many, many people), fixed diplomatic exploits (gold for gold, peace treaty exploit), multiplayer tweaks (Hot seat, Lobby, etc.), memory, caching and performance improvements, etc. There were also a number of video card specific fixes. To those of you having problems, thanks for your patience. Our guys were working around the clock with your detailed feedback to produce this patch. For those of you having no problems, it's only going to get better. =) Dennis Shirk Firaxis Games from civ4.com news seems it's going to be out soon

I want it noooooowwwww! Hope you can mute people now, I'll metion no names but there's one person who I've seen nothing but derision mockery and a bad attitude from. Seriously overcompensating for something, probably an only child, few friends, bullied at school, whatever it is I don't particualrly want to hear the inane drivel. We don't all have an obsessive inferiority complex driven need to prove something. Sorry but not particularly fond of having to sit in the lobby and watch an overinflated egotistical monkey talk rubbish. Needless to say a mute button would be great.
Do you know what I mean? answers on a postcard to....

I have just changed my will to have my CIV disks go to my grandson, aged 4. I figure by the time he's old enough to play it will be all patched up.

Does the patch fix the issue of being able to see inside cities and gallies (BOTH totally unrealistic) -
with the exception of being able to see those cities of the same religion (the ORIGINAL spy network, lol).

mute buttton would be good, as well as pms in the setup room but mostly the mute, it couldnt be to hard , i for one am sick of listening to racist drivel, its not even a ladder player issue, ironic really that for all the no holds barred toughguy forum/lobby conduct rules that we get overrun by childish crap in the lobby

Well the 1.08 patch was released, and then about 20 minutes later, recalled when a major defect was discovered.
Firaxis, while embarrassed, is hurrying to patch the patch. Expect a replacement patch (1.09?) to be released within 24 hours.
Best, SPM
