At least 2 weeks. The infogames UK website had the 1.14f patch on 9th Dec. I just don't know when the US version was released.

Are we ever going to get an English version European patch? It's taking almost as long to update the 'anti-piracy' device as it has to develop the new patch. Or maybe Europe isn't as important as America to a French company?

A three-week wait is simply unacceptable...have Infogrames 'done an Activision' on us?

I suggest we start emailing european infogrames support centers. I already emailed the Dutch one at
helpdesk@nl.infogrames.com
Let them know that a 3 week delay between the US and European version is simply unacceptable.
Infogrames UK has a contact form online at
http://www.infogrames.co.uk/?pg=contact_form
Which I used initially because I didn't know the NL address, they kindly referred me to the correct address so if you don't know where to start, start at the page above.
Please email them, it's the only way they'll know we're still interested in a patch.

Enclosed is a copy of the message I sent to PR Infogrames UK and Infogrames US:
quote:
Dear Infogrames,
I was hoping that somebody could clear up, once and for all, the issue of why it is taking so long for a 1.21f patch for the european version of civ III PTW.
As a programmer I am acutely aware of the problems of branching code. I find it hard to believe that modern software, with the advances in localization techniques, requires branched source code. I'm sure that there must be a good reason why this was done, I just can't think of what it could be and Infogrames has never publicised the reasons for this decision.
As I'm sure your aware, there are many problems playing PTW if the version numbers don't match. For example, no one is their right mind with 1.14f would play someone with 1.01f, and no one running 1.21f plays vs 1.14f. Therefore by releasing a patch to one bunch of players and not others, Infogrames has effectively halfed the number of people I can play with... for an expansion that is all about multiplayer gaming, dividing the community in half is a public relations disaster.
Ok, so the US patch came first. I don't have a problem with that if that's where the dough is... but to have to wait for more that a few weeks to restore my ability to play anyone in the US is simply not acceptable. I don't mean to be rude, but what the hell is going on at Infogrames? Think, people, think!
I, along with many other players, would like a response to this issue. Unfortunately I don't have enough confidence in Infogrames to even expect a response to this email. I challege you: surprise me.
Sincerely,
Pete
