Hello there,

I have CIV IV with all extensions and I get a little trouble with BTS...

Each time the "diplomacy" pop-up appear, it take much time to display the text in the window that it does and still do in Warlord or Base Game.

Is that related to BTS logics or some graphic issue that slow down the loading of this part ?

Sometime, clicking the window solve almost the problem.

Thank you for your help.

P.S. Notice that I only tested with a scenario (Civ4 Earth scenario under BTS).

EDIT // Note I tried the unofficial patch for BTS but it make simply crash when I try to load the scenario with the new DLL...

Not a bug. Buy more RAM.

No, not a RAM issue. I have 3 gigs and still saw the problem until I found a tip somewhere in this forum.

Go to your Civ.ini file, and look for this line:

; Dont show the game background during movies - may speed up movie playing
HideMovieBackground = 0

Change the zero to a 1 and whuala! All popus will be as quick as before BTS.

Enjoy!

Thank you for your help,

As you said, it's not a RAM issue as long as I have 4Go on this PC (it's used under another OS sometime :))

I made the change on the 3 config files, I'll let you know if this work for me as it does for you.

Regards.

P.S. For the unofficial patch, just understood it wasn't designed for the 3.17 version of the game but 3.13 so that's why it's not working.
