I got windows 7 64-bit edition, I need it for my new computer that has a AMD Phetom X4 II black edition, got a speed of 3.02 or 2.02, and it's overclock to give me about 3216.0 MHz which is pretty good, but I still get lag when i play most of the mods here in civilization 4. I wish sid mejer's make another patch that contains support for multi-core, and I can get rid most of the lag, mods such as CAR mod, and other speed mods out there can clear the rest of it.
I can notice that I get lag when I got a slow interaction speed when clicking on buttons, or I cannot cheat promote very fast (and sometimes accidentally hit the explore button)... I hate slowness sometimes because it just make the game look very boring if it's not very fast and active.

I have often wondered about this myself, given the popularity of civilization 4 and all its mods, why does firaxis not release a patch for multi-core support or expansion containing that feature.

Civ4 is a very old game. Firaxis isn't really getting any new revenue from the project.
The ~3 min load time is because of poorly compressed graphics files.
I *think* PL knows the solution for that?
Do you get an error message, or just straight CTD?
What OS?
Also: with the lingering pointers to Fall Further 051, maybe you have a more up to date version instead that it is confusing it? (Do you still have FF 051 installed?)

True but does that not just imply that its time for Civ5
Ahriman

Yeah, but you can't expect them to spend resources on a product that isn't generating any revenue for them. They're not a charity. BTS 3.19 was surprising enough, a lot of people thought that they were done with Civ4 even before that.
A Civ5 would have to be very different somehow.

Yeah, I think the current version still has a few pointers to Fall Further 051, and so it will only work if FF051 is also installed.
Fixing this is on PL's to-do-list.

I'm attaching a link to the pathnames fix I put in the team forum last month; it looks like no one had downloaded it. Try it and rename your Fall Further 051 folder to something else to verify if that fixes the issue.
Any chance of an official patch incorporating the bugfixes and art loadtime compression?

i have finally scrounged up some free time and have got the fix orlanth just posted to work, ive also successfully compressed the art file. the game now takes about 90-110 seconds to load. not perfect but its better.
Ive also fixed the intro music and added a Warhammer load screen.
Heres the current changelog:
- Fixed CTD thanks to Orlanth and the rest of the team (thanks for your patience on this)
- Reduced load time by compressing the art into a .FPK file
- fixed the intro music and added a Warhammer load screen.
- KG2: adjusted the woodelf bonuses from forests (+1 hammer from new forest, forest and +1 food from ancient forest) New forest gives +0.5 health, forest gives +0.6 health, and ancient forest gives +0.75 health.
- ancient forest have the same yeilds as a normal forest (ie just +1 hammer) but with greater defense (+50% defense)
- KG1: fixed the EQUIPMENT_CONTAINER XML error on startup
- BD1: Workers can now build trails with the Wild Paths tech correctly.
- BD5: Adjusted some tech requirements (Lordship req. military discipline and philosophy. Tyranny req. Military Discipline, warefare and Bronzeworking. Tzeentch Req. Corruption of chaos and literacy.)
- BD7: Workers can build Corrals correctly
- BD10: Workers can build Meteorite Mines correctly (excluding Woodelf Workers)
- Added Orc and Goblin Civs with leaders and flag art.
EDIT: i want to start looking into the religion founding mechanics, but i have lost the OLD version of warhammer, pre patch 3.19 when we had working religions. does anyone still have the files from any of those versions that i can look at?
EDIT2: thankfully i found the old XML files but i still need the old python files to do anything with religions

I still have the old version of the WH mod.
Which files do you want? The whole thing is huge.
What's the best way for me to send you large amounts of file data?
Here are the python files.

Another thought: will the load times be improved by deleting a lot of the unused FFH/FF art file content?

Sounds good, getting religion python mechanics (founding and spread) working would be excellent.
Once we have a new version, we can start crunching through the issues in the buglist already posted, and then start up on magic.
Another thought: do we have the Wonders coded in XML?
We can probably use the old mod version as a guide (though it had a bunch of bugs - and included the technology affected buildings mod, so can't be used directly).
Some old thoughts on tweaking the old design (comments very much appreciated!)
(I don't have the old XML with me, so I might be missing some of the old ones we used to have. I don't think we should have a Great Wall though, messes up the Uprisings too much.
We need some more wonders, for sure.
some random possibilities:
Philosopher's school (national wonder)
150 hammers
Requires philosophy tech.
Gives +50% GPP bonus.
Gives +1 lord GPP.
XYZ's Expedition (whatever Estalian discovered the new world in warhammer canon)
200 hammers
Requires navigation tech.
Gives +4 xp to newly create naval units.
+25% naval unit production.
Can only be built in coastal city.
Royal Tourney
Requires tournaments tech
400 hammers, double speed with horses.
Gives +4 xp to newly created shock cavalry units.
Mighty citadel (natioanal wonder)
Requires citadel, replaces citadel
Requires advanced engineering tech.
400 hammers.
Gives +100% defensive bonus
Gives 50% bombardment defense.
gives +2 trade routes.

Lots of cool wizard art.
(Might want to add spoiler tags).
Sweet dreams!
Next priorities probably need to be fixing iron/steel weapons, and moving around the core unit requirements.

Yes yes, I totally understand that as a business they need to make money but they could ofcourse SELL the update
But then I am completely illiterate as a programmer so I have no idea how much work that would be.Great to see the mod moving along, looking forward to trying version 0.4
