    Welcome New Members

    I am new to CF. I have been playing since Civ1 DOS based on my PS2 16Mhz computer. I was in high school then, and when I discovered Civ1, I played all night - good thing it was a weekend! I played Civ2 a lot (college days), but never got hooked to Civ3 like I was to the others. I am...

    Experience with Old computer

    Sunee, My gameplay doesn't lag at all, but it also said that I had been playing for 3 hours, when in fact I had been playing for 6+ hours. Not a big deal to me, just thought it was a little strange.

    Stuttering sound in Wonders Animations

    Same problem here. I read in another post that if you disable Sound Hardware Acceleration in dxdiag, it clears it up for many. I will try that tonight. Other than choppy sound during wonder movies, game play is great with a GeForce2 MX400 64MB video card @ full graphics settings. No...

    The real challenge: How to make your boss/gf/wife or even mom think you're working!!

    Haven't tried installing games at work yet. Checking out sites like this at work gives me enough of a fix until I can play at home. Now my wife, and even harder to push away, my infant daughter... I just don't sleep. I wait until they're all asleep, usually around 10PM, and play until 2 or...

    Failed to Initialize Renderer

    I'm using a GeForce2 MX400 64 MB w/T&L Other than opening scene, game has played fine on medium graphics settings. I only use this card because my mobo has AGP 8X conflicts, otherwise I would be using my Radeon9600 for everything. I feel for you guys with only ATI cards or laptops...

    TnL get your facts straight (chart included)

    I am running the minimum video specs: GeForce 2 MX400 64MB, w/T&L and using latest Nvidia drivers 81.85. Other than the opening game credits and intro, game has been running great! Though, I have read people having this same problem with 6800GT cards. So, that may be a software bug, or...

    Help! Says insert disk 1, then crashed at leader screen

    If you haven't done so (really for any game or install, not just CIV4): In your Windows Task Manager, turn off all programs running in the background. ie. Yahoo Messenger, WinZip, Norton AntiVirus, especially programs like Alcohol or AnyDVD. You are just asking for problems if you don't.

    Graphic glitch in world map view

    I have same problem. I'm using the latest Nvidia driver - 81.85. I haven't tried to scale back yet. I thought it was just my old GeForce2 card that was causing this problem, but if you guys are having problems with 6800GT, it sounds like a software bug, and we will just have to wait for a...

    Minor Audio Issue - No Narration

    Jack, I have a like issue. When I first launch CIV4, the opening 2K, Firaxis, and CIV4 intros are all choppy - both audio & video. But, the actual gameplay has been great for me. I logged about 3 hours yesterday, between the tutorial and a quick single player game. Since my ASUS A7N8X-E...
