Children of the Nile Update Released

July 23, 2008, 2:24 pm - Valve - Product Update

Updates to Children of the Nile have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:

Children of the Nile

• Lots of fixes for French, German, Italian, and Spanish where strings would be missing or have extra nonsense at the end of them. Cheats work again in French, German, and Italian. Some messages appearing with a "" marker in them have been taught to speak proper German
  
• When running the game on Vista, you can now open scenario info screens without crashing, regardless of your user privileges. This will let you start a campaign or load a scenario without any of the fiddly rigamarole with properties and options you had to go through before
  
• Fonts are now installed in-game if needed, fixing a problem where you'd lose most text and could crash if the game was updated without your machine being restarted
  
• Steam achievements now work properly. IMPORTANT: On some machines, this will prevent you from running the game directly from the "steamapps/common/children of the nile" folder. You'll need to start the game from the Steam client, or use the client to create a shortcut (right-click on the game in "My Games", select "Create desktop shortcut", and move that shortcut wherever you like)
  
• The latest version of DirectX is automatically installed if you need it when you first run the game
