when I click Launch Civ4 it does the loading screen then a little screen comes up and it says loading xml or something like that,then it just goes off.

the screen says "check XML" then it freezes. Anyone know how to fix it?

welcome to cfc :band:

what version (civ4 or one of its expansions) are you playing? did you patch? what are your computer specs? can you post your dxdiag results?

thanks for reply but a dont understand...whats adxdiag?

are you running Windows XP or Windows Vista?
dxdiag is a program that is part of windows which lists almost everything related to your graphics/sound/drives and puts it into one file - making things easier to troubleshoot :)

dear ori, i am playing on a mac and dont use windows......am i in trouble?

you are not really in trouble - but I won't be able to help - since mac is not really my strong OS :)

you will likely get much more and better help if you post your problems here (http://forumsbeta.civfanatics.com/forumdisplay.php?f=199) :)

Hi, welcome :wavey:

I suspect you may not have installed the game correctly. You have to copy the entire Civ4 folder from the disk into the /Applications/ folder on your hard drive, not just the application. If this is not the problem, please say what sort of Mac you are running on, and how much free space your hard drive has on it - highlight the hard drive in a Finder window and loo at the bottom of the Finder window to obtain this information.

I moved this post from the general Bugs forum to this Mac forum. You are far more likely to find someone who can help you with Mac issues here.
