I wasn't going to post about my game, but even the forums bugging me about not communicating enough with the outside world now : Hardest I'd ever played before was Noble, so I was fairly pleased to get within 2 turns of a diplo victory (Washington beat me to it with spacerace). What was...

I've been a game developer (not for Firaxis!) for 11 years and although I agree with a lot of what PennHead says I think it's worth pointing out that 2K and some elements of the community have have been the source of some ill feeling. Every PC game I have worked on has had at least three...

Here is another possibilty - this may help: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=133025#15 Seems my disk was OK after all - I was using Nero ImageDrive and it got upset:blush:

If s/he bought it in Australia then it's a DVD - we didn't get the CD option

Seems as though there may be a few people in AU with blank DVD's in the box - well at least one more over on Apolyton - one is hapstance, two is coincidence, three - well three just has to be a conspiracy by no less than Sid himself :)

Yes I did get it through EB, but I think even the shops with a "no returns on opened software" policy would have a hard time justifying $90 for a blank CD. Hey GuruMike - you can get a DVD reader for $40 - installation would be extra, but it's pretty easy to do yourself.

I have the same problem - I have a DVD that looks to be totally nude - there's no interference rainbow - explorer just hangs trying to read it. I have a Radeon 7500 so I figured it wasn't going to work properly, but my expectations have been exceeded :lol:

Try swapping your disc's over - some people have said you need the install disc to play

You may be out of luck - it seems that you have no T&L (http://www.anandtech.com/mobile/showdoc.aspx?i=1679&p=2) which may put you out of the running (ie "I'm sorry, I cant install Civ IV on your PC 'cos you don't got no T&L"). On the other hand it may just make your experience (unbearably...

I pre-ordered at EBGames and it cost me about $90 - now someone at work has pointed out this link to me... http://www7.cd-wow.biz/detail_results_3.php?product_code=21074&subcat=pc PAL Territory is just distributor speak for Europe, Australia, NZ and probably some other places too. It...

Australia is a PAL territory and serviced by the European distribution chains. As it seems that Europe is getting only DVD, looks like we will only get DVD here in Aus. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Business stuff - I try not to sweat over it - I'll miss the staff discount though

Hi all, I've been a long time Civ player (since Civ 1), I am incredibly old (46) and have a 5 year old boy called Ben. I work as a Technical Director for Atari in Melbourne and I even had a bit to do with the Korean translation of Civ 3 - I've seen the source code :scan:. The last game we...
