	Figured out how to update to 1.1.1 Increase the size of your Attachments

Hi all,

I figured out how to update civ on the mac from 1.0 to 1.1.1. Before this, I just kept on running the updater and getting an error with a code number that made no sense to me or to anyone i knew. Then I tried this and it worked.

You have to rename the application from "Civilization II Gold 1.0" to "Civilization II Gold 1.1". Sounds stupid, doesn't it? But it works.

I just wanted to share that with you folks.

regards,
salman

Painfully simple.Good job.I see what happened.We had a series of patches.1st patch changed the version #.Subsequent patches didn't have to.Or so it was thought.At least this seems to be the case with 1.1.1

Boy that's odd! I wonder if anyone as MacSoft/WizWorks knows about this or will ever address it? It should at least be in a Read Me note!

You don't really want an answer to that question do you?

I have updated the Patch Read Me page and posted a News item alerting everyone to the renaming work around for the v. 1.1.1 patch.

Again, good job catching that CmdrSalamander!

Well..I renamed my civ2gold into CIV II Gold 1.1, and I keep always this error message, and update 1.1.1 is still failing. So?

Are you using the french version? In that case another patch might be required...

Did you name it CIV or CIVILIZATION?
It should read exactly like this:

Civilization II Gold 1.1

Ah..this is one of those puzzles you have to get one more piece before bed.

I'm pretty much stumped.Desperately fishing, I ask if it was drag and dropped or clicked?

Did you restart and rebuild desktop after the name change?

Have you zapped pram recently?

Did you try the re-install civ,re d/l patch and try again technique?

MACs aren't supposed to have troubles like this.

Do you have a windoze emulater?

Well, I guess that I'm about to blow the whole naming theory (well, partially at least). I have performed two complete installs of Civ2 MGE followed by the 1.1.1 patch. No problems. Initially, I updated the new/used iMac DV 400MHz (more about that on another thread ) with OS 9.1 followed by a few crucial apps (such as Civ) and related patches, and finally OS X. Civ2 MGE 1.0 updated to 1.1.1 with no problems.

Unfortunately, I had problems in general since I was stupid and did not format the HD after it was messed with as a display at Sears for over a year! So, format, partition and repeat. Again no problems updating 1.0 to 1.1.1. I have NO idea why others are having problems. One thing is that I started with absolutely clean installs of MGE and OS prior to the using the patch. Not that I'm recommending you format (initialize) your HD... BTW, I used the patch downloaded from InfoGames site (MacSoft-Technical Support-InfoGames path, can't get the URL correct right now).

Very odd stuff this patch problem...

ON TO AN OS X THREAD!

I apologise for my inability to function properly but I am not sure if I can use this patch.

I have Civilisation II there is no mention of Gold anywhere. So have I got the right game to update or not? It just says version 1.0 in the info screen.
