    Warlords Patch 2.13 Released!

    Nope--that the same error I got, and there doesn't appear to be a fix anywhere, other than reverting to 2.08. Later! --The Clown to the Left

    Civ4 patch 1.74 is released

    I had to revert to 1.61 and 2.08. 1.74/2.13 make it so I can't load the game. Later! --The Clown to the Left

    Support Page on Official Civ4 Site & Patch Download

    I had a similar error, the DLL one, then upon correcting that, I was getting an "Error loading shader libraries," which I could not find a workaround. This would occur in both Warlords and Vanilla Civ. My solution: uninstall Warlords and all updates. Uninstall Civ and all updates. Reinstall...

    Warlords Patch 2.13 Released!

    Bah. None of the patches work. Had to uninstall everything and revert back to 1.61 and 2.08--whatever it's alleged to fix isn't worth the effort. Best, --The Clown to the Left

    Error Loading Shader Libraries? WTF?

    Solution: uninstall Civ IV. Uninstall Warlords. Reinstall Civ IV. Patch to 1.61 Reinstall Warlords. Patch to 2.08. Do not patch to 1.7broke, or 2.1broke. Best, --The Clown to the Left

    Error Loading Shader Libraries? WTF?

    Disk version of Civ IV. D2D of Warlords. Had dll error. Corrected it. Now I'm getting "Error loading shader libraries" while starting game. After this error, launch quits. Whisky Tango Foxtrot? Can anyone help? Best, --The Clown to the Left

    Historical irony at its finest!

    Razing Rome, playing as Hannibal. Win by domination --playing as France. ...as Louis... ...in a republic. Making England a vassal state of the Celts. As Japan, invading the Mongolian empire with galleys. As Germany, while at war with Rome, being invaded by France, and talking...

    Something Strange at The U.N.

    The UN is one of the worst concepts, ever. In the game, too. Later! --The Clown to the Left.

    Gunship does NOT benefit from railroad, why?

    Here's my two cents: At-home transport of the gunship does seem rather odd. While it excells in enemy territory, it's about useless in your own empire. Rather than give it rail and/or road benefits--which, I agree, is more in-tune with real-life--I'd give it rebase. That's me, though. If...

    Civ 4 for KICK ASS BUGS

    I've been waiting on this alleged second-level support since 27 October --the day after I got the game. Far as I can tell, "Second-level support," is Britspeak for "get bent." Later! --The Clown to the Left

    Making threats

    That's the key, right there--driving the AI buggy. I found that was an excellent pretense for war. It's sad to see this gone the way of Rubik's Cubes and hot-air corn poppers... Later! --The Clown to the Left

    Inadequate power supply=problems with high end PCs

    480w here. I'm thinking its plenty. It is not the hardware. Bad RAM? As a wise man said, "[Deleted] please." 25% of the people who bought the game have bad RAM that ONLY came to light after installing Civ IV... riiiiiiiight. Believe that, and I can hook you up with this bridge in...

    CTD on Large and huge map....

    To require 2 gigs of PC4200 to play Civ is so far the other side of reasonable, it's got a personalized parking space in front of the UN. C'mon --no one that meets the minimum requirements on the box should have to upgrade a damned thing on their machine to get the game to work properly...

    Tech Support Responsiveness?

    Hrm. If I have to call tech support and decipher an accent, I'd much rather listen though a British one than, say, someone from India... Though, to be honest, hearing them tell me "brilliant" fifteen times without offering a resolution is more than a tad annoying. Their level two tech support...

    The final straw.

    Post v1.09 I'm getting the crash to 4-bit desktop as well. This is a new and interesting feature. I wasn't aware that I COULD crash to a 4-bit desktop! Egad. Anyone have any extra rope? I'm at the end of mine... Later! --The Clown to the Left

    Poll-- Does the patch work for you?

    This poll needs another option: yes, the patch installed, but it solved none of my issues. So very tiring, this is... Later! --The Clown to the Left

    Complete research doesn't work in late game

    Using the GL to research technologies adds so many beakers toward research of that tech. In the beginning/mid-game, this is enough to research the tech immediately. With the more expensive technologies, the GL doesn't generate quite enough to discover the tech immediately, however, using them...

    Suddenly Disappearing Lions

    They're crouching in the grass, waiting to pounce upon you like... like a big lionesque pouncy thing. Yes, I've noticed this, too-- but with all the other problems in the game, it ranked low in the priority of mention list. Later! --The Clown to the Left

    Features that I miss

    Agreed. Isn't this be covered under the "Show Friendly/Enemy Moves" options? I've never seen the AI go to war with anyone but me, so I can't verify that it would or wouldn't be... but have you tried it? Later! --The Clown to the Left
