Thanks you so much, going to try it now!

Quick question, do cache files need to be rebuilt or are they included in the patch? Also, can AI do sea invasions now?

Updated cache files are included in the patch.

Also, a few other notes:

- The game is compatible with existing saved-games, so if you have a save under a prior version, you can continue it (and benefit from changes such as the fixed 'save game region falls' bug).

- Some changes, such as fixed city names, will only be seen in new games, not in resumed saved-games that were created under the prior version.

Poopy

On the other hand, good news for island countries such as Cuba to take over North America.

Astorax · 12-07-2008, 10:45

So the no building facilities on river/water hexes bug wasn't fixed? Wow, major bummer.

Von Thoma · 12-07-2008, 11:38

super thanks downloading, played that stupid Civ4 Bts till 4 in the morning, even I hated it, as the fighting part is crap ( bowmen killing tank ... no supply no different unit types needed and so on ... ) okay SR2020 could be in the future the one and only real strategy game , if that engine could handle it ... I hope so and yes I am willing to buy also upgrades every 12 months or so IF GAME WILL GET more complicated with them ... anyway thank you for the update , now have a nice weekend, as we have to work now :-) to manage our countries

Von Thoma · 12-07-2008, 12:10

AFTER PATCH ->

heeeelp dear BG Staff,

okay loaded my old save game ... and the first I looked was, if I got Nuclear Missiles back or at least I could develop some, but nothing ... I couldn't trade the techs anymore or get blueprints ... I only have found that button (which was also before there) to allow nukes , which I have done, but the nukes are still gone in my game. AS I SAID AND I AM SURE, I started the game WITH NUKES ALLOWED ... it deactivated itself after some time ...

SO HOW COULD I ACTIVATE THEM AGAIN ... yes I know to start a new game, but didn't really want to play everything again for that 17 years ...

as it could be choosen when the game is created, how could I do it myself (HEXEDITOR) to activate it in my save game again.

THANKS

ollobrains · 12-07-2008, 13:11

2Coats · 12-07-2008, 13:22

Still cant' build an oil derrick. I guess canceling treaties are still broken.

Ok this is annoying. What's the point of having off shore petrol resources if you can't build oceanic complexes and oil derricks? Not only that, but you can't even increase the number of derricks on the complexes that already exist.

EDIT: Empty oceanic complexes are buildable on land.

About these two elements

**Precision Spotting not implemented

What is ment by this, did presision spotting not work so it was removed or is it just that this has never worked and is not yet fixed?

**Enhanced tool tips added over facility inspection in Land Department

What was actually added? It still does not appear we get any information of the ACTUAL Production of the facility, just a repeat the the max potential capacity of a facility of that type.

Is that what it says? Typo, sorry, should say 'Precision Spotting now Reported'. It was always implemented, it's just that the precision spotting distance (the distance at which sub-hunters have a very high probability of spotting a sub) was not reported before.

Correct, for now we are reporting the maximum potential capacity. We will be looking in the future to report an estimate of the actual output, but there are issues here (fodder for a new thread I suppose) that make it very difficult to report the 'actual'. Of course, the maximum gives you a good idea of what the facility is producing in most cases.

Unfortunately turning the nuclear weapons option on in mid-game is not possible, so for save-games made before the patch you'll have to live in a nuclear-free world. Sorry that millions will not die a horrible and painful death in your vision of the future (at least, not until you start a new game)

Lord KhaZimir · 12-07-2008, 23:37

If i understand well (update 53% dnl) derricks are still not buildable, continuous agreements still impossible to cancel and technology level still useless. Ok

Actually, i do prefer building my units from USA than having to develop them myself so please don't fix that or small countries won't ever make it!

The region falls bug was annoying, i just can't wait to try the game now! Are ICBM now working ?

Balthagor · 12-07-2008, 23:44

At this point ICBMs would be a "new feature", since what we had was not meshing well with what we were going to release and it got scratched. The focus of this update had to be limited features and mostly bug fixes so that it could be done quickly. Look for future updates to add more features.

Von Thoma · 13-07-2008, 00:44

I have activated nukes but they didn't showed up ...
okay so I have to use ... biological and chemical weapons, that I have seen I could research ... will give the order :-)

anyway it was more for my enemies, to prevent me from attacking ... as for my army there is no problem to conquer the whole world, even I think I would need two hundred years if I look at the size of the map and how long I need to get rid of that garrisons :-)

anyway would the AI used nukes ?
