Patch 5 Fixes and Feature Details

I have noticed since patch 5 that in the adventure editor when trying to place building either on top of/or in water/lava that the rotation handles will only let you rotate in 90 degree increments this makes it very hard to make ramps and such and has made several downloaded(and some of my own) adventures unplayable due to the fact that buildings have become reset if they are anywhere near water or lava i hope that maxis will be able to fix this issue ASAP

Yeah, this is a serious issue I have noticed as well. An adventure I had spent days working on and was nearly finished had to be scrapped because of this nonsense. Seriously, this needs to be fixed.

In the past, Mac patches came out a week after the PC version... plus, do you really want a fault patch with no over-water rotation?

my guess is, is that they are fixing the very serious GA bug that rose up from the patch that makes a whole bunch of missions (even a couple Maxis missions) totally unplayable without Jump.

It'll be easier for them to ship 1 Mac patch later instead of a faulty Mac patch that would need fixing later anyway.

ooh! I guess I'm lucky then!

I usually only have to wait a day. (and my guess, now, is that they are taking longer because they are fixing that problem)

a whole new patch?! wow! I never thought we would actually have asymettry!

wow! this is great! but, how does the vehicle thing work? can we drive the vehicles, or do we just get to sit on them? how does it actually work?

I hate this patch.

If I can't rotate buildings in the air or over the water, that's an instant fail.

You suck at making patches, Maxis, even with all this fancy asymmetry and vehicle-riding.

I'm so lucky that I don't use water or lava as a mechanic

I still hope this gets fixed.

Now that is a big patch, isn't it? 150MB!!!

When will the patch be ready for the mac WHEN!!!
