****DO NOT INSTALL THIS PATCH FOR THE DIGITAL DOWNLOAD VERSION AS IT IS FOR THE ORIGINAL POWERPC DISK VERSION ONLY****

This patch updates both Civilization 3 Complete and the unsupported Civilization 3 Play the World applications. This patch will update any version of Civilization III Complete Macintosh to version 1.22 Rev A.

What this update does:

• Provides a Universal Binary for both the Civilization 3 Complete and Play the World applications.
• Fixes error "Load Error: Error Reading file: Missing Entry in: Game Data\text\PediaIcons.txt"
• Fixes instances where game would sometimes fail when completing research, giving an error about missing Civilopedia entries or other strange behavior.
• Fixed sporadic crashes when music cues were being stopped.
• Music stuttering should be greatly reduced.
• Custom scenarios (such as the SGOTM at civfanatics.com) are now properly found if placed in "~/Documents/Civilization 3 Complete/Scenarios" (searched first) or "Conquests Game Data/Scenarios" (searched second)
• Saved files are now compressed. (Autosave files are never compressed, which is the same as the PC version.)
• When playing fullscreen (as opposed to a window), you may now temporarily leave the game by using either Cmd-H (OSX's hide command) or Cmd-Tab. Clicking on the game icon in the dock (or using Cmd-Tab again) will return you back to where you were.
• Compatibility fixes for several third-party mods. In particular, the "Rhye's of Civilization" mod now works. As a side effect, network games will not work with previous versions.
• Multiplayer games between PowerPC Macs running Mac OS X 10.3.x and Intel Macs running Mac OS X 10.4.x may experience difficulties. To avoid these issues, all players should be running Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
