I'm back on Civ 4, waiting for Civ 6 in the forlorn hope they come to their senses!

The only drawbacks i see are:
The Steam client it's a little awful on Mac (consuming resources), and it's very hungry with my videocard (9400M) even using only 2D map this game eats a lots of CPU and RAM (under Bootcamp and XP is even worse. WTF?). The gameplay is also a little boring by the fact of the notification pool. The DLC's are expensive in my opinion.

The direct download link only leads to the developer shop which requires a purchase to download.
When try the serial no. for Civilisation 4 in the G5 it rejects it. What am I doing wrong?

The Steam web site's support page is a freakin joke. Absolutely no way that I can see to actually contact a person. If I could get my money back I would. UbiSoft has lousy support, but obviously these idiots are trying for entirely new lows. Their servers are overloaded - 2.6 million active users according to the web page, and apparently no one watching the system for server errors on the Steam client's support attempts.
I'm staying away from anything Steam related from this point on! It's just not worth the hassle.
If you know your Mac's IP Address, SSH into it, log in and run:
ps -ef | grep Civ
This should show the Civ process running and it's Process ID. It should be the second column from the left. Depending on what you have running it could be a three or four digit number.
Kill this process by running:
kill -9
PID stands for process ID. You'll see Civ 5 quit immeadiately.
For this to work your Mac needs to be networked and you need another machine to access it. *nix machines have SSH installed matively but a Windows machine is going to need Putty or an equivalent client.

It seems only to be listed here. Nothing in steam, nothing on the linked developer’s page... nowhere to be seen.
How are we supposed to update if said update cannot be found.
I’m assuming that it should eventually show-up in steam, but that means dealing with that sorry excuse for an interface that seems to bring all the joys of PC ‘usability’ to the Mac.

Thanks, but I looked in steam and couldn’t find anything, hence my comment above.
If it’s there then it’s far from obvious. Even checking the updates area there was _nothing_ recently announced for the Mac. So where on earth is it?
+26
So, again, where is this mysterious Mac update supposedly dated 23rd May to be found?
Further, in the library section with civ5 selected the 3 recent news items relate to CivVille, a Podcast and a pre-announcement of a pending patch that will add a hotseat mode. Nothing about a ‘latest update’, and nothing dated more recently than 17 May. None of these three items are an update.
in-game (i.e. with it actually running), there is no update option I can find, there is no update listed anywhere, yet the date shown here is some 10 days after I made the original download. Nor can I find any means of checking the actual version/build number I have installed.

Also, is there a way to just play the game without having to go through Steam? Really annoying. Frustrating to pay to get more frustration in my day, when I just want to kick back a little and escape.

I finally see something when I disconnect my second monitor. A bit of a drag. Hopefully, an update will take care of this.
