Hi,
I'have a strange problem:
Civ4 crash at 580 BC in all the games i play (single, multi,...)
There is no error message and if i load the savedgame it re-crash at 580 BC.
I can't stand it...
Please help ;)

Specs:
Civ4 patched to 1.61
windows xp sp2
Ati radeon XTX1900 (Omega drivers 3.8.252) // Anyway i have the same problem with last catalyst drivers
Directx9.0c correctly installed


Thanks for any help...

well, that's definately not the "game crashes after 10 rounds cuz i'm 'secretly' using the no-cd crack" problem that seems so common :D

er... can't really help ya with your problem; just wanted to say that. best of luck to ya though!

p.s. do you have any mods installed? if one of em is set to start/end at that time, that very well might cause the game to freak out.

That is simply *the* freakest error I have ever heard. It sounds like something is preventing the game from going past 580. Are you running a trainer or hack as those generally alter some of the game's code in the memory....

I wonder what would happen if you tried to load a savegame later that 580 BC...

if you have the technical savy, see if you can alter a previous save file to something post-580 BC and see if it'll run. dunno if there'd be too many lines needing altering to make thsi work, but it'd be an interesting experiment.

and i agree, this is one of those "what the #$%*?!" errors :p
