Patch fixes nothing for me

[Boogers]

I downloaded the new patch and I still get runtime errors on my deity level game. I manage to load my old saved games, but it still crashes in the same spot.

I think I would meet the minimum system requirements as my rig ain't too bad.

Win 7 64 bit
Intel i7 950 3.07 GHz
6 Gig Ram
Nvidia GTX 285

I got better things to do in my life than waste it on a crap buggy computer game. This is the last Civilization game for me, which is a shame as I have been playing them all including spin-offs since Civ I and have enjoyed them.

Seeya Sid, its been a great ride, but I'm too old to waste my time on this anymore.

So start a new game and don't be such a child? If your savegame was corrupted there was very little chance this would fix it anyway. If you cared so much about this particular game perhaps multiple savepoints would have been an idea. Seriously though, posting like this because an old save on a computer game doesn't work? Get some perspective please dude.

I manage to load my old saved games

I wouldn't even attempt to "load" an old saved game, it can actually spoil the integrity of the updated game, who knows! PC Gaming 101.

It was mentioned somewhere earlier that although the patch is fixing *future* save/load on huge maps, it probably will not fix previously corrupted saves. Doing that would amount to a small marvel on the programming side considering the way Civ saves/loads data.

Try an autosave prior to that last save.

Children, if he has the deluxe edition he can't load the saves, it's a problem of the deluxe with the new patch...

Heh, calling people names is contructive. I have multiple saved games of course and I was careful of always saving from a game I started from re-starting the game as I am aware of saved game issue. As I said, I still get the runtime errors(so please read the post, this is NOT about corrupted saved games). Anyways I am getting perspective and plan to spend my time on other things than waste a few weeks on another deity level game in the hope I do not encounter the same problems several hundred turns later.

I hope you guys get more fun out of it than me. Cheers,

Posting that the patch fixes nothing for you, then in the next breath saying that you are attempting to load a save from a previous game that was an older version, explains why you are still having the issue. Start a brand new game, then see if you do or do not have the issue still. Otherwise, your post is pretty much pointless.

Not trying to flame you, but as someone else said, a patch will not magically fix an old game save. Lots of times, old game saves are not even compatible with the new build at all (Far Cry 2, for example). Your only two options are to either start a brand new round, or to stop playing altogether. Either way, it isn't the developer's fault. PC games have bugs. It is pretty much impossible not to have bugs, due to the nearly infinite number of hardware and software configurations out there. Hopefully you will take this post as intended and not be insulted, and you will just try a brand new game.

Good luck

I was able to successfully load a save game after the patch for a save game that I was getting a runtime error loading prior to the patch. I played another 50 turns for the culture victory, so it at least fixes some crash issues for existing save games.
