How Buggy is this game

I noticed the bug thread was huge did the beta patch hinder more then help?

Those are mostly nits. Many of them in scenarios. They are not about the game not working.

It works. The major bugs (FP and gpt) don't really stop you playing and enjoying the game.

1.12 fixes gpt and improves FP.

yeah, mostly small glitches... the game works fine for me.

To me the game is *VERY* buggy, especially in multiplayer.

First off, it takes about 3 seconds for a unit to acknowledge a command I give it, so each unit will pause for 3 seconds whenever I'm playing a LAN game with my wife. Single player works fine though. This multiplayer sluggishness has made the game unplaytable in MP.

Seondly, when choosing LAN play, civ3 still wants to link up to Gamespy. And if I don't manually disconnect out lan from our router, I get people from gamespy chatting in the text box.

Lastly (and this is but a gripe) the game should really be much faster, since it's nothing more than a bunch of tiled .png files supplanted with .flc animations.

So it's still pretty buggy, and I just bought the Gold edition.

The game is close to perfect to me as for playability. If you play with your wife, just do it with Hot Seat.
