Re: Patching and PBW
No, post in the PBW admin requests forum. The game owner should be the one requesting it. We have a thread there for all the requests.

Re: Patching and PBW
Due to the new EXE-hacking protections, you cannot run 1.67 turns with a 1.78 game.  Take it from experience...

Re: Patching and PBW
Good point Krsqk. However, the host can use the .plr files generated by 1.67 and process using 1.78 and the result will be a 1.78 game. So upgrading games in progress is not a problem. But yes you MUST wait until the host generates with the new Version BEFORE playing with the new Version yourself. Thank you for reminding me of that.

Re: Patching and PBW
yeah good lord... I tried running the 1.67, then loading the games with 1.78 and it screwed it all up *lol* The bastard AI mangled my empire -- I discovered the option in the F11 / Ministers window but all too late. Good to know its there though, this patch rocks...
...Even though Emissive still couldnt "emit" its way outta a paper bag. LOL... Its prolly good early game though -- have only checked on a late game in progress.

Re: Patching and PBW
One of my games is upgrading and one isnt (as far as I can tell so far). How do I handle one ver 1.67 game and one with 1.78? Do I have to have two installs of SEIV one at 1.67 and one at 1.78?
That doesnt sound too fun...

Yes, and it isn't all that difficult, assuming you have enough disk space available. I've currently got installs of v1.49, v1.67, and v1.78 in separate folders.
