I'm palying with PTW. but when I click on the launch button in the stagging window the game crashes. single player work fine.

I've reinstalled the game many time but it dont work

What version are you using? Also, give some general PC info- OS, etc...

first, after many install of the game 1 facts came out:
none of the PTW patches works.

i got a 800mhz, 384 mo ram, geforce4 32mo, 3gig on the hard drive, ( the game worked fine until i add some ram )

also i cant uninstall the game properly, it fail to open a SETUP.DLL so i had to delete the game manually....:mad:

can i still play by direct ip on the net? i havent try it out...

i almost forgot, i'm on win XP home eddition :D

What happens when you remove the ram? Does it work fine then? If so, I think I have a guess on what the problem is. :)

the ram problem already been solved... :D
the first ram chip i added was corrupted,
but my new chip os 100% functionnal.
and i've reinstalled the game many time with the new (good) ram

what can i repair/find the "trouble" caused by my corrupted ram? other than by c:format?

I'm not following your question. How can you tell if your RAM is corrupt? Ask again and I'll answer the best I can. Thanks.

ok, that one is simple.

my cpu wasnt stable for more than 5min.
i lost for 350mo of data on the hard drive.
my session ( win XP ) is corrupted (i.e. cant log on anymore)
strange/weird things appen...

i run a program for test my ram and i got the confirmation:
it was corrupted:cry:

so i change my corrupted ram for another one and i got no trouble till then.

So everything is working well?

yes,
there is only PTW that dont work properly... :(

can the ram (bad one) had corrupted some of the registery entries for civ3?

are you using broadband or a phone modem to connect to the internet? When I first started trying PTW, all I had was phone modem and it would crash on me every time I tried multiplayer. Only after I got a cable modem did it begin to work. To this day, I am not sure why that is.
