i've searched long and hard, even got a full refund from trymedia (but of course didn't uninstall my game) and contacted them months ago regarding a patch and nothing, just that its coming soon and that was months ago. so has anyone found anything? from the looks of it i"m not the only one having the problem. my game quits after running perfect saying it can't allocate video memory and im hoping the patch will fix it.

and whats a microsoft runtime c+++ error?

when does this error occur? what does it say exactly?

the patch thing was linked to in one of the recent threads here in the tech support section - just search for tymedia and patch :)

I bought the digital download version of civ iv from gamestop and it took me awhile to find a patch that would work (couldn't find a link on these forums, maybe i missed it), so I thought I'd share...
