    Orbis 1.0 Bug Thread

    I downloaded the orbis soundtrack this morning from the "Welcome to Orbis" thread link. When I try to install or extract ( to any folder ) I get a message that an mp3 is corrupt about 30% in. I think it is one of the files under the "leaf" folder. I try to ignore but finds more corrupt files.

    Slower Tech mod

    I know its been asked before but I just cant seem to locate it. Is there a mod that will slow down tech research yet leave everything else as it is? I like playing on Epic speed but, the tech still is just way too fast for my taste. Before I get to enjoy a certain setting, or heck even a...

    Custom Game question

    Ok, I want to play a game with a few specific options such as aggressive AI, custom continents ( 4 ) and 10 players. the problem is, every time the terrain is really bad.. meaning its all "patchy" - tons of little lakes and I would say about 60% of the land is ICE! I chose temperate...

    "SpaceRace" victory question

    I could swear I have built all the spaceship pieces but... cant seem to trigger the victory. Anyone run into this? IS there an easy way to verify whats left to build... if anything? They dont all have to be built in the SAME city do they?

    Everyone Take a DEEP breath.....

    LOL. Mr. Sunshine fun days happy. Hilarious post granted I don't agree. All the sudden the opening happy go lucky music for that dumb old show "FULL HOUSE" just appeared in my head. "As the days... go...byyyy...." freaky.

    Everyone Take a DEEP breath.....

    The only big problem I have had is with the wonder movies. Visually they are fine. The music plays , but cuts in and out. Aside from that, the game runs very good considering my rig is 3 years behind the times.

    Anyone fix the no-wonder-music problem

    The wonder movies music is screwed up for me ( "skips" ). Anyone have this issue and find a fix/solution? I have an old soundblaster Live and all the other sounds as far as I can tell work great.

    Everyone Take a DEEP breath.....

    The frustration is totally understandable. But, try to look at it this way. Civilization IV is one of the few amazing games to come out - but it shipped with some major bugs ( be it firaxis fault or ATI or directx or all of the above ). Compare that to all the average or just plain crappy...

    Everyone Take a DEEP breath.....

    A few things I have learned throughout my life dealing with Gaming addiction 1. Never never NEVER re-arrange your life schedule around a release of a computer game! NEVER! Every time I have done this I have been royally bitten in the rear. The game would be late, wouldnt run, something would...

    ATI Graphics Card Owners: re FAILED TO INITIALIZE RENDERER

    I indeed believe this is related to corrupt directx Installations. I think it somehow plagues ATI users more than nvidia for some reason. When I last installed the new directx I started getting strange dll error messages that included garbage about missing direct x files AND ATI driver...

    Failed to Initialize Renderer

    Interesting idea. It could be a problem loading one of the opening sequences ( often in some "movie" format )and the game just craps the bed.
