Hi there,
i couldn't find it anywhere, due disabling the Search-Button.
The Ati Control Panel doesn't give me a 8bit-colordepth-option, so i cannot set the refreshrate to proper 100hz.
So pleeze gimme an hint, either to set Civ3 to 16bit, which is imho impossible, or a Workaround for setting the 8bit to more than 75hz.

Specs:
XP1700@2,2ghz
Asus A7N8X-X
Club3D Radeon 9700@Pro
XP Prof SP1+Rollup1
Catalyst 3.7 (same probs with 3.8)
---Even in the new 3.9 version it isn't implemented yet.
Dx9.0b


BTW: my monitor is capable of 100hz in 1280x1024 and i tried RefreshFix, which causes several Error-Messages.

Use a program like Refreshlock or Refreshforce instead. They work for my Radeon 8500.
Btw Civilization 3 runs at a 16bit color depth not 8 bit.
