I've always been playing Civilization II Multiplayer Gold Edition on my XP laptop.
Now I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit.
Game installs fine, patched to 1.3, applied no-cd patch fine - the game runs fine, but CPU is at 100% always - and the old CPU-usage fix doesn't work:
1) the one from Tim? http://tim.strafenet.com/civ2.html (a single civ2.exe with couple of rerouted jumps) crashes with "civ2.exe stopped working";
2) Till's CPU-throttle.zip - http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=6831087&postcount=72 - the inject.exe fails with "The process could not be loaded" error.
I tried mastermind's xp64 patch, but that doesn't solve the 100% CPU usage problem.
Catfish, help me. you should know.
The game w/o CPU fix runs ok. But it kindof pisses me off to see cpu at 100%, having my old laptop overheat, and drains battery too..
Ok, hopefully someone has the answer...
