im running vista x64 and when I start civ4 it will first talk about known compatibility issues and then start loading and then it will say the program has stopped working. (this is before it goes into full screen mode). I haven't tried any patches or anything yet.
I'm getting the same issue as this guy on vista 32. One thing I noticed is the _civ4config shortcut points here:
"%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\CivilizationIV.ini"
...which, as you can probably guess, is not a valid shortcut. So I guess my user folder isn't being installed, because I searched my hard drive for civilizationiv.ini and came up with nothing. I tried running the installer in xp compatability with admin, installing directx 9c, patching to 1.61 to 1.74, and nothing changed.
I'm using the install CDs I got when I picked up the game three years ago, and there's probably a vista configuration solution somewhere, but I don't know what it is.
