3 days I've been trying to get Civ ii Test of Time to work. I feel I'm in a Maze, try something and get a dead end. I know this is an old threaded problem. But a new post might help me more than constantly reading non understandable Blaa Blaa.
I don't have a CD version, just a downloaded version. I can't remember when or how it was downloaded. I run (2 separate) windows 7 64 bit home premium laptops, both have this same problem.
I have read so much here on how to do this. Not really helping. I read Catfish post on "Test of Time Installation Guide"..... hmmmm.... I do have a simple file location system. C:\Users\Public\Game\ ... --- I put all my games here. Learned this lesson from Civ3.. avoid (x86).
Where I am at now:
I unzipped my ToT.zip
- Folder: "civII_test_of_time"
I entered this folder to find another folder and a txt Doc (.games.com.br) and a chrome HTML doc.
- Folder: "Civilization_2__The_Test_of_Time"
I entered this folder and found 5 folders (ExtentedOriginal,Fantasy,Midgard,Original,Scifi,Sound)...... Has CivII application.
Now problems: If I double click the Application to play I get a message "ICDecompressEx returned -100" ..... I can continue to setting up a game. mapsize, ...race.. leader etc. --
When I try to make the first city I get another message "CivII.exe has stopped working".... game exit and is gone.
I added the V1.1 Patch ... I tried to open and run as Administrator but got the message "...must have CivII Test of Time installed in order to install this update".
I even tried to use the TOTPPv011.2 PATCH ( hoping the NO CD patch in it would help)... but similar thing,,, "need V1.1 Patch"....
I'm not computer minded so computer abbreviations don't help a lot. I want to get back to Civ2 from Civ3. ToT seems to offer me some hope of Modding.
Where have I gone wrong?
