Sadly, it does not look like I have a previous version to rollback too...

It's not working for me. I'm going to need a replacement.

I really hate to do this, but I've already tried a couple of different things to get it working and I also want to still have a working install of Steam BtS.

If I can't get someone to agree to take my CIV by tomorrow, what should I do here?

Someone who's conveniently able to should pause the game in the next couple hours, for DQ.

Game paused with 2hr30mins on the clock.

I have made a post in the official 2K forums about the removal of Direct IP from Steam versions of the game. Here it is:

To everyone who plays Direct IP games: Please take a minute to register an account, and make a short post in the thread linked above.

I suggest to write in your short message:

- Your username and which civ fansite(s) you hail from.
- Which version of the game you purchased (CD or Steam).
- Mention how this issue affects all players, because even CD users can't continue Direct IP games with Steam users. The removal of Direct IP from Steam divides an already small multiplayer community down the middle.
- End with a strong request that Direct IP be re-integrated into the Steam version of Civ4.

Feel free to use your own words. Be firm, but civil - profanity won't help the cause.

For example, in my case:

I am Lord Parkin from Civfanatics and Realms Beyond. I purchased the CD version of Civ4. I am deeply disappointed with the removal of Direct IP from Steam versions, because all of my friends with the Steam version can no longer play in our Pitboss games together. This issue has needlessly divided our community. Please re-integrate Direct IP into the Steam version of the Civ4.

Please register an account and post your own quick message in the thread linked above now. It only takes a minute, and it could make a real difference!

I'm somewhat spoiled, but I can sub a few turns for Douglas Quaid, Parkin-style, if you guys are interested in that.

Sure, I have no problem with that. Hop right in!

[SevenSpirits]

OK by me, novice. I guess we should give others some time to voice their opinion though, rather than hurry.

Speaking of which, I've solved my steam problem. Anyone else (other than Douglas Quaid) still in limbo?

[slowcheetah]

I'm good with Novice subbing a few turns.
