    Siam the warmonger

    well he has been pretty hardcore in a few of my games too, but I've had quite a few of the civs go on the war path. So far this behavior does not seem to be related to their persona's at all. The game I finished last weekend had Gandhi kicking the crap out of everyone. I was going for a...

    why no panthers, lions or bears?!

    Personally I liked the critters. I thought it added the ambiance, as pointed out by Apotheoser. I thought it was funny to watch some Bears kick the pants off an AI civ's scout. :) I can understand and I agree with the reasons stated above concerning why they may have been removed, but they...

    Work-Around for Texture Load-in Issue

    my specs are for a laptop (Dell m1730) but I'm going to try this out as this is recently my only problem. I had the crashing and long load times, but somehow these issues have ceased as of last Friday/Saturday. I'm not sure why. My specs (DX9 mode): Windows Vista 64 Core 2 duo extreme (3.2...

    [FIXED] File size bloats with save / load cycles - Still in .621

    I've posted a thread about this problem as well as several other people. This is a problem that seems to be affecting just about everyone. Firaxis, according to their webpage/forums are aware of the problem and are working on a patch to fix it. They didn't say how long before it's out, just...

    Nvidia driver causes crashes: Beta drivers fixed it

    I have dual nvidia 9800gt's in sli and have been having crashes the past couple days quite a bit. I am downloading this beta driver and will give it a try! thanks! Well I did download the driver. When I tried installing it, the installer said I did not have compatible hardware, which is odd...

    Ridiculously long save and load time

    I am curious, how does one save while not being in the game? :confused:

    Think this game fried my vid card!

    Well I'm not sure if I am contributing much here, but I have 2 9800gt's in sli and my fan turns on once in awhile but sparingly. I only mention this because my cards aren't the latest greatest either, but they seem to handle the game fine. I have found that perhaps the biggest bottle neck for...

    Game crashes when I load save

    Unfortunately this method has not worked for me. So far the only method that does is exiting the game to windows, then restarting it. The link you provided has led to more understanding of the issue though and I thank you for your advice and that link...

    Game crashes when I load save

    I have seemed to developed an odd problem and could use some help. :sad: When I am in a game (I have Random Seed on) if I save and then for example, go to an ancient runes, not like it's outcome and reload it will crash to my desktop. Steam stays running but Civ V will turn to a black...

    The AI is ok? Really?! Then watch this.

    what patch is this you guys are speaking of? I've google searched, used steam and I have found no such patch. Can someone point me in the right direction?

    The Ending: Uh...

    ...Victory movies are ok in my book, I want nice ones that are more realistic or even the other extreme, take the painted look but show the painting being painted. Cultural might show great wonders and such being painted along with your capital city.. Domination might show an epic battle being...

    [FIXED] Crashes on turn 398 - Stuck savegame

    ...Vista 64 bit. ...My PC is DirectX11, but game runs much more smoothly on DirectX9. ...Turn 310 to 350 crashes frequently. ...Crash is a frozen screen. ...Then it is time to hold down power button until PC restarts. ...There are other problems, but this is the worst. ...Seems a patch would fix...
