	The patch, damned patch! Help! Increase the size of your Attachments

Dear friends!

May I become crazy but my patch
Civ3v116f which I took from Civ-III
official cite is not work. Fighters
intercept nothing, helicopters still
can carry only one unit etc.
I read on the Civ-III home site
that the first Civ3v116f was incorrect
and we must to take the new «improved»
virsion. I downloaded it ! The same result !!!
Fighters
intercept nothing, helicopters still
can carry only one unit etc.
What is it mind? Or I am crazy or Civ-III team
play tricks with us or I missing something.
Please help somebody.

PS

In my opinion Civ-III is a fine game but worst completed.
The must to bail out some of their criminal programmers and
to reward designers and units creator for their perfect work.
Is n’t I am right?

When you "install" the improved patch 1.16f the first time, it only de-installs the previous (incorrect) version of the patch. You have to run the installation procedure a second time with the improved patch, then it will be installed correctly - have you done that?

Thank You for the advice.

I did next steps.

First - I downloaded the N1 version
of Civ3v116f and installed it. As I said
it did not work.

After a couple of weeks I found on the
official Civ-III site that they have done a «wrong»
patch and now thay have a new, "normal"
version. I downloaded this one with a great cheer but
with some doubts - I already have got a lesson about
Civ-III troublesome. I suspected that something wrong
with this «improved» patch. It has the same size as the N1
and the same name - Civ3v116f.

First I cleaned already installed N1 using the N1 patch
Then I installed N2 - no effects. Then I have come to this
noble forum for help. Hm. I tried to install N2 patch twice,
triple time - no effect. I returned N1 then cleaned it with N 2
and install N2 after that. NO EFFECTS! Fighter intercept
nothing, helicopters can carry only one unit etc.

What can I do now? May be I downloaded again N1 instead of
N2 ? But how is this possible - can they be so stupid in order to contain a
wrong version on their site. I am in despair.

Unfortunately, I have not much advice for you, only this:

I noticed that after I installed the (improved) patch, my older fighters (the WW II Spitfire style thing) never intercepted a bomber - I also worried a lot about it. But then, when I built my first modern jetfighter, this ace pilot shoot down a bomber on its first mission!

Never tried helis until now, so I can´t say much about them...

Edit: Oh, and I´m not sure if this is important, but did you start a new game after you installed the improved patch? I know Firaxis said old savegames work with the new patch, but I heared from other civers who said it is better to restart.

	I think may be... Put an end to popups!

Hello, friend, I do not know who are You but in
any case thank You for this assistance.

May be You are right - I play SAVED game now and do not see
results. I had f-15 fighter, playing as American, but it "slept"
when old designed enemy bombers skimmed nearby.

Hm..... May be I need to start a new game? It is too pity, this
one was good for me.

Do You know how I can recognize in the early period that the
patch is work?

Well. Thank You again , dear friend.

Sincerely Your

Alex
