1.20 for the 360 has passed certification!

[2K Elizabeth]

hey 360 gamers!

1.20 for Civilization Revolution has passed certification with Microsoft! I don't have an exact time when the download will be available, but except an update today or tomorrow!

[Picolini]

Finally!.

Thanks Liz.

[Angus Mac Barca]

Yeah !!!!! "Je suis récompensé de ma patience"/ "I had right to wait for"...

Not the same words but same sense ;)

[munchingfoo]

I am repaid for my patience, perhaps?

Or, more commonly, "My patience has been rewarded".

[notrain]

Why the joyous comments? AFAIK the patch does not adress any of the problems, the changes are mostly cosmetic. I don't think this patch will improve the Multiplayer Experience at all.

1.20 patch notes are stickied. this is the same patch as the PS3 1.20 -- 1.30, due out in the october time frame, will address more issues.

this patch was in testing long before we started work on 1.30, and we wanted to give you this patch as quickly as possible for the issues it does solve, so we didn't wait to roll it into 1.30.

[Angus Mac Barca]

I'm joyous because future DLCs which will make more deep Civ Rev games...

There's a good deal of content being added. If you'd read the patch notes you'd know that. Or maybe you don't know the definition of the word "cosmetic", but I digress. This sort of attitude and the several players posting on these forums are nothing but a hindrance on getting any and all updates for the game, yet despite this ingratitude it would seem that the development team is hard at work towards that exact cause. Consider that.

Moreover, if you truly cared about this game or it's development you'd supply useful information rather than being downright belligerant.

I'll add my "joyous comment" now.

SWEET! Thanks for your hard work!

This patch contains some enhancements for the single player portion of the game (DLC) and small bugfixes.
The vast majority of this community plays civ rev Multiplayer. For this portion of the game, the patch fixes tiny exploits, all the technical problems still remain.
Hence I used the word "cosmetic" to describe the patch, since it does not adress any of the pressing issues most people are having problems with. I don't understand why you feel the need to insult me for a correct observation, if you think that 2K is showing an extraordinary inclination to support this game you should take a look at other developers' support for their games. Also, pretty much all the problems have been discussed left and right on these forums, so what else would like me to report in addition to what already has been reported during the last three months the game has been out?

I agree with you, that we should support the team and be thankful for their efforts but this moment is not now. It will (hopefully) come upon us in october with the 1.30 patch, I'll hold my breath until then.

[BacchusOne]

Anyone seen the patch/download when they log on yet?

You're making sense here and I'll admit that but alot of those games likely don't have to do updates for both playstation 3 and xbox live versions, I'd think. But you're right, it's nothing worth arguing.

And yeah, I aimed for a potshot atcha', for the sake of the fact your tone neared those of the regular mindless flamers, but you've shown otherwise so I apologize.

For an update, it's 3:00 PM PST over here, I think we're looking at tommorrow for 1.20

The vast majority of comments like this have no factual basis.

He really means that the vast majority of himself and the community of people he plays online with, play online. That is probably factual. ;)

[notrain]

The vast majority of comments like this have no factual basis.

I am beginning to feel like I have a giant bullseye painted on my back. You can verifiy my "factual basis" if you take a look around the forums and see for yourself that the most postings and threads are about Multiplayer Strategy and -not to start another flamewar- issues/problems with the multiplayer portion of the game. I'd go as far saying that the two very long threads on civ balancing/rushing have probably more posts in them than all threads not related to Multiplayer have combined. Moreover, the Singleplayer works pretty much perfect already, doesn't it ? At least I have had no complaints so far.

I may argue from a biased standpoint here, but how long can it be fun to play vs the AI ? I had a blast the first week to get a basic grip of things, but after that I've been playing MP exclusively. Playing against human opponents is just infinitely more challenging and fun than playing the AI and I am betting that is how most people feel. A good MP experience is what keeps people playing a game in the long run, so that's where most of the focus should be in my opinion.

[*Futureheads*]

Has this happened yet I have played it the last 2 days and have not been prompted to update the game. Good job!!!

[Mysterio]

I wonder what's taking MS so long to post this patch. I hope it's not like their XBLA titles, which are only posted on Wednesdays. :(

[Mortal Fury376]

Any1 got a download prompt yet

[robm15]

Is there anyway on the Xbox 360 to check and see what version the game is after after patches?

[jayeffaar]

Is there anyway on the Xbox 360 to check and see what version the game is after after patches?

Only if the game itself tells you, which Halo 3 does, I think, but I can't think of any other game that does that. There's no support for that from the dashboard as far as I know.

[BacchusOne]

I think you are right. Halo 3 does have a v1.3 or whatever in the corner so you can see what version you have.

Still no patch on the CivRev game as far as I can tell.

hey guys if this isn't up on monday i'll go asking what's up and report back! sorry about this. i don't get an exact post time from them but it's usually within 24 hours.

while I was playing FFA I was suddenly disconnected from Xbox Live then "you need update to play" message showed up.
I lost a game but really glad the patch has finally come.

as 2K Elizabeth says, this patch is 1.20 and same as PS3. well I tried a match just now, it didn't freeze anyway (usually I get frozen 30-40% of the time). I need to play some more games to check if freezing problems were fixed.

One thing I can realize now is the bug of connecting to lobby got fixed. I often couldn't enter lobby with "Evaluation Games....." message, now the problem disappered.


MorteEterna, I really hope the leaderboards bugs also fixed.

1.20 passed MS certs over a week ago, yet MS still hasn't posted it. From a business standpoint, if I was 2K, I would be in MS's ear and wouldn't leave it until the patch was posted. MS has dropped the ball, and it's reflecting negatively on 2K. MS has the grease, and 2K needs to be the squeaky wheel. Get that grease, Elizabeth. :)

[xbman22x]

or maybe 2K f-ed the up the patch and lied about giving MS the patch. then when it doesnt get posted, MS takes the blame, not 2K. this is just another part of 2K's evil scheme to conquer the world!!!!!

I've been playing this game for a month, everyday, so I doubt it's an old update. But I'm sorry if it's my mistake the update is not patch 1.20.

As an example, "scenario" menu has shown up on ranked match, which existed only on player match before.

like
Multiplayer
> Ranked Match
>> Custom Match
>>> Head to Head, Teams, Free for All, Scenario

I believe different areas receive XBL content at slightly different times, meaning the content has to propagate. Just as system updates don't hit everyone at the same time, I'm thinking it's the same for game updates.

[*Futureheads*]

Still nothing wondering if there was a patch made at all, can't see what the hold up is I mean my Rockband was patched up the other day, and they came up with the same lines as the moderator.

while I read responses on this thread I was wondering the update came to only my xbox in the world, but today I heard some players saying they had update also, some saying not yet. I think you will receive it soon.


By the way I played a singleplayer game to confirm if this update is patch 1.20 or not.

I refered to 1.20 Patch notes below:
http://forums.2kgames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20862

Well I can't find any "New Wonder and Artifact Packs appear in the single player game", but I confirmed

"city will only receive a set amount of food by settlers",
"disbanded militia units provide zero gold".

I guess these changes means I got patch 1.20.
Am I correct, 2K Elizabeth?

You are correct.

The new Wonders and Artifacts patch notes are in reference to the upcoming DLC.

[*Futureheads*]

Yep they should be coming out next month (Sorry English is the fall in october).

[Mysterio]

Has anyone outside of Japan received the 1.20 patch, yet? If not, does MS think it's only for Japan? Honestly, this is ridiculous. It's been 2 days since you contacted MS, Elizabeth, and they still haven't gotten back to you? That's unacceptable over something as simple as this.

Unfortunately, I truly believe this product is snake bitten. :(

[cuatro]

I heard yesterday 2 American guys say they got update as well (they are in CA, perhaps). I don't know why MS offers the update in different timing in the same country:(

However, patch 1.20 might be unnecesarry, maybe even worse. I played like 10 matches after update, I got 2 games frozen when turn transition as before, I found 2 critical bugs in addition.

"you start with 5 pop city & 1 warrior"
"you can make gold infinately"

The first one is really strange. In second turn your city dissapears and settlers appear, which gives you no merit. That means you waste 1 turn at first.
I found that if you sell the warrior at first, the city keeps existing with 5 pop. But this bug doesn't always happen to every players equally, which makes the game extremely unfair.

The second one occurs in certain situation. I found how I do it on purpose, cheating play is easily available if I will try. I am afraid these bugs mess up ranking. They must be fixed asap.

Ranked match lobbies now show a little barbarian icon in the top left, what is this about or for?

[Tzadkiel]

Looks like ranked matches start differently now, too : your settlers auto-settle and you get a warrior unit right off, as well as 5
+ population

Edit: Aaaaand then in the turn immediately after it deletes all that and makes you start as per normal: from settlers up, with 2 population in the city you create...oh man, we really didn't need another bug. They'll never stop whining now. :(

Is the multiplayer ranked accidentally trying to start us off with a scenario setting? thus the barbarian icon in the top left?...

Other than that it seems to run a bit cleaner, it's just that first two turns with that glitch. Played three games, haven't frozen yet. So far the promise of defensive units not upgrading automatically seems to have gone through, but you can still sell units for gold.

On the bright side, singleplayer feels refreshed, and everything we were told we were gonna' get seems implemented fine (this applies to game of the week, too! wewt!)

With 1.30 not too far behind let's hope that it's not too late for the majority of the playerbase to be gone

It just seems to run better, cleaner overall. The AI dosn't seem to bust out with hundreds of units at random, etc.

Thanks. Yes, I've supported 2K through it all, but even my patience has limitations. In my line of work and given a similar situation, I would be hounding MS hourly for a resolution after the content didn't go live within 48 hours. Putting a call into MS and waiting for their response wouldn't cut it in my line of work. We're now at the 264+ hour mark, and the patch still isn't available to everyone. If 2K cared as much about their customers as they claim, they would demand that MS do their job.

[lantern48]

Well, dig this: I live in Chicago and all my friends who live here that have the game got the patch, but I've still not been prompted to download it-- weird.


After hearing about turn 1 being wasted and other bugs that came with this new patch *chuckle* I'm kind of glad there's some weird problem preventing me from getting the update request.


You know, it seems a bit too much to have to make patches to fix patches. *chuckle*



Perhaps they'll figure things out for the sequel.

On 9/3/08, you announced the 360 1.2 patch had passed MS certs and the update would be online within 48 hours or so.

Eight days later (192 hours), on 9/11/08, cuatro (in Japan) was the first forum member to report receiving the patch.

Four days after that (another 96 hours), today, Arizona and Florida still do not have the patch.

It's obvious that MS did not release this patch properly. When will everyone see this patch?

if you guys still aren't getting it, my advice is to clear out your data and redownload. i can't guarantee that will help and if after that you still can't get the patch, please PM me your city and state (or city and country) so i can try and figure out what is happening.

I cleared the hard drive cache (System blade > Memory > hard drive icon selected > Y > X > X > LB > RB > X > X), logged in under my gamertag, and launched CivRev. Prompted to download update.

Clearing the data did not help. Patch 1.20 was not downloaded, it just downloaded whatever was on there before. Now I'm stuck having to download updates for ALL of my games again.


I live in Chicago IL.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

PS. I'm betting something is screwy because many other people are having the same problem. Also, as mentioned before, I know of people in Florida and Chicago who have it-- so it's strange that some are getting it and some are not.

[Mysterio]

And everyone should calm down... it's just a small patch.

Actually, no--it's not just a small patch. It removes two MP exploits, and has been "in the oven" for a very long time. By comparison, the PS3 received its (still broken) 1.20 patch a long time ago, when 360 owners were willing to wait. Today, 360 owners (not all) are still waiting for their 1.20 patch, which, from the account of those with the patch, happens to break certain type(s) of MP game(s).

So please don't waltz into these forums with your 7 posts and tell us to calm down. Veteran forum members know I'm one of the most patient forum members and 2K supporters on this board, but enough is enough. This product is snake bitten, and the antidote is taking too long to administer.

[krunsh]

All I'm saying is that there's nothing you can do about it, so go on with your life and don't get sad for a patch.

We just wait.

Still not prompted just in the process now of re-updating my other games good job 2k, can't even release a patch properly.

IN the UK and want the patch!!!

hey guys,

again, i'm trying to get to the bottom of this and figure out why some of you aren't getting the patch. i want to say that my recommendation to clear data was not the only solution -- the solution is getting the patch to work. i'm talking with Microsoft now and will report back when i have some solid information! thanks.

I don't have a lot of posts here, but I am a veteran because I started from a barracks!!!

Weak attempt at humor to lighten the mood of this ridiculous situation.

[Angus Mac Barca]

I'm in French Riviera and i still not have the patch :(
Too...

[LouCypher]

Still no Patch here in Berlin, Germany.

Like it nice save.

Elizabeth its a bit of a joke really this is the only XBOX product that has failed to recognise an update. I love the game but am beginning to get bored of the failure of not by you but the company to address issues in a timely manner.

No update yet we are talking about the 360 patch are we?. Can i delete the 1.1 patch and re-update without deleting save games and schields when completing a victory with any civ?

The only way to delete previous CivRev patches (or any 360 patch, for that matter) is to clear the hard drive's cache. Check here (http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/11131/Xbox-360-Cache-Clear-Code-Revealed/) for simple instructions to do so.

[boudjemoertjeNL]

Thanks i will try

If it does work i will let u know.

[BacchusOne]

Please do let us know either way. I don't really want to redownload all my patches if this isn't going to work.

Also just to repeat -- I'm in West Virginia and I have not received the 1.20 patch.

[Mysterio]

Please do let us know either way. I don't really want to redownload all my patches if this isn't going to work.

Clearing the cache won't cause the 1.20 patch to download. Others, including me, have tried and it still downloads only patch 1.10.

EDIT: Still no 1.20 update as of 9/17, 5:40 PM Eastern time.

[Nitescape]

How can we tell if we have the 1.20 patch?
I didn't get prompted to download or install anything but when I loaded the game for the 1st time in a couple of weeks, the game said it recognized my Iconic Pack I had previously downloaded.
I guess that means it hadn't found it before.
Odd! :eek:

[Nitescape]

Ah rats.
I deleted my content form the drive and now my iconic Wonders downloadable content is gone.
I thought it simply lost only the patches.
How do I get that back?
The codes are no longer valid to re download it.
And it JUST told me it recognized it.
Did I set a record for fastest recognition and then deletion of content?

Check for the Scenario option in Multiplayer > Ranked Match > Custom Match. If the only options listed are Head to Head, Teams, and Free for All, then you don't have the 1.20 patch.

Try the following:
Sign in to Xbox LIVE with the gamer profile that originally downloaded the content.
Go to Xbox LIVE Marketplace and select Account Management, Download History.
Select the CivRev DLC and then select Download Again.

You my friend, are MOST helpful. :D
Thank you.
I do not have the 1.20 patch but I did get my iconic wonders downloadable content back.
Once again, thanks! :)

[HAL 9000]

I'm in southern California (Orange County) and still haven't received the patch yet.

[FunPagliacci]

I also live in Orange County and mine updated Tuesday night.

[MisterRobin]

nothing here as well for 1.30 in uk

[2K Elizabeth]

nothing here as well for 1.30 in uk

1.30 isn't out yet.

[Mysterio]

Elizabeth,

Has MS responded in any way as to what might be causing this? Do any theories at all exist?

This is the first 360 game that didn't download a released patch.

[MisterRobin]

1.20 appeared today

WD 2k

[bmac21212121]

administration, please let us know when to expect the 1.20 patch i tried to find it and it can't be downloadable for my area. i live in louisiana and im really not dying over not having this patch but it would be nice to have it anyways

[badken]

I got 1.20 this morning (Tucson, AZ)! Woo!

[LouCypher]

Downloaded 1.20 today (Berlin, Germany)

[gamesb8]

I also got 1.20, I think the patch is spreading around so everyone should get it.

Observations from Patch 1.20:
-obvisouly settler don't add 1 pop
-if you have dlc previosly the game would have about a maximum of 4 artifacts but now it can have more b/c in my last game I had 6 artifacts
-freezing when meeting a new civ has been cleaned up(this happened to me all the time), it could still occur for other people but it didn't for me
-play scenerio option in mp

these are just things I noticed from patch 1.2.

I think the lack of replies recently from Elizabeth has to do with the issues myself and other players announced concerning patch 1.20 with the XBOX 360 version. I can vouch for her by saying that she seems to be looking with adamant focus into the things we posted about and is likely developing a hofix as quickly as possible.

For those who missed my earlier posts in this thread when I'd gotten the 1.20 patch on Xbox 360, the new patch had introduced a few bugs into some aspects of multiplayer games (such as players starting with cities with 5 population and a warrior unit at the beginning of a ranked game, rather than a single settlers unit).

Despite as Mysterio most accurately points out, this game is looking more and more 'snake bitten' by the day, it served as a great deal of reassurance to see Elizabeth prodding me for more information on these issues. Hopefully it can do the same for everyone else.

It's a great game in it's foundations. I know like Mysterio, alot of you have already been patient enough to put a Jedi to shame, but I've decided I'll give this game another round of my patience because if it becomes what it was meant to be, it'll be worth it. I encourage you guys to do the same.

On a sidenote: Mysterio, you still haven't gotten 1.20?

I'll likely put this game on the back burner until the critical bugs have been fixed. I'm hesitant to enter into the MP fray with all the reported issues I've read about in these forums: the new bug in 1.20 you mention, the freezing (both intentional and unintentional), and leaderboard issues (although I don't really care too much about where I rank). If players are, in fact, able to freeze the game on demand, Firaxis needs to eliminate this exploit/cheat ASAP.

Whoops! I posted in the other thread that I was finally prompted to d/l 1.20, but failed to post the same here. Doh!

[Tzadkiel]

I've put the game down until it's thoroughy fixed as well, what I meant was remaining active on the forums and giving enough feedback and information about these bugs to have them fixed. I'll send you a PM later about this.

[BacchusOne]

Got 1.20 update on Friday in West Virginia.

I did not play on Thursday so I am not sure when it was initially available here.

[jacklbrt]

Powered up XB360 this morning (09/21/08 11:30 AM US Central). Was prompted to install update for CivRev. But did not see any details on what the update was for. Can you enlighten me?

I had this bug the other day but it seemed to happen as the other player had selected a scenario Attack of the Huns. Instantly I started with a city and pop of 5 but then the screen switched at I was back to just my settlers. Not to sure if the other guy had the same but he was killing me in the tech race which was unusual as I hardly ever get beaten in a tech race.

But then the game just booted him out, but he would not confirm or deny if he had started with a city with a pop of 5.

[dip baby]

i live in Boston, MA. I play on xbox 360.. i play multiplayer-custom match-free for all.
i was prompted to download the patch Saturday morning. Ever since downloading it, I have been having tons or errors, disconnects, freezes, maps not generating right..
I've had the occasional problem before while playing online, but since Saturday I can barely get a game started, let alone finish one.
I've even received an xbox screen about a corrupt download or something which I have never seen before.. so I deleted it but you need to re-download it to play on xbox live.

I know many people have multiplayer online issues.... any other 360 players having a terrible time with the new patch?

Is there any way to play online without it??? please!

[The Panguin]

I'm not having any issues with this new patch. I mean the games sometimes get a bit laggy, but that's more one of the people in the game having a bad connection then anything else. Likewise I haven't had more freezes then usual...I think i've only had 1 in the past week(which is amazing). I am finding it a bit harder to find people to play with, though I think that's more a case of people abandoning the game / me coming on to play in the slower hours of the day then anything else. So no errors here! =D Yay.

[2K Elizabeth]

Hey guys,

We received word back from Microsoft that the issues with this patch have been corrected. It was a server-side issue that they have sorted out. I apologize again for the wait and any problems this may have caused you, but rest assured the MS servers are a-okay now and you should be able to download the patch. Please let me know if you continue to have any issues.

[*Futureheads*]

I must admit this patch has made the overall gameplay a lot slower and laggy. I was playing last night no disconnects but freezes for a minute or so then my xbox started making some loud noises.

[Angus Mac Barca]

Nice this patch 1.20 ;)

It frozes less and the game is more dynamic...

"Enfin" the AIs make wars between them, its so fun :o

[BOSS NASTi]

Wait so do we have to go somewhere to download the 1.2 patch for 360 or is it already been updated. Cuz i've got about 3 game updates before i've logged onto civ for the last 3 times i've loaded my game up.

[Angus Mac Barca]

What ? What is this thing ? :confused:
