So I've installed BtS, and started a new game. For one or other reason I always rush towards building the Great Wall. I already have Warlords and I never had any troubles what so ever.

So I build the Great Wall, that blue screen comes up what would normally be showing the movie, but... Nothing. Darkness. What's worse, my game crashes.

So I have to turn off movies but it's not really fun, but there you have it. Should there be any problem with the movies themselves ? Or do I have to look elsewhere ?

Did anyone else have this problem ?

strange, i had the exact same problem except for it was with the movie for the Great Library, the whole thing blacks out and crashes. forced shutdown.

Im having exactly same issue, i just disabled the movies to stop the nonsense crashing.

Yeah I did that too. Bugger, ain't it ?

similar problems to this have happened to me, while playing other games, and my computer literate friends have usually blame it on graphics card, or ram issues. By their logic the computer gets overladed by the strain on it, gets a bad signal, and dies. I fixed these issues by updating the drives for my graphics card.

Already have done.
