So I recently (couple hours ago) bought C3C on Steam. When I go to launch it, all the colors of the game (menus, everything) are scrambled and changed to bright green, neon pink, and various tannish colors. the resolution also seems to be smaller and off center, but it's hard to tell when the colors are so screwed up. I've tried running the application under pretty much every kind of compatibility mode, but nothing changes.
I've tried googling, but amazingly enough, I found absolutely nothing pertaining to my problem. I've tried looking here, but the same thing applies. I've tried going to 2K's support site, but it seems that they don't even support Civ 3 anymore. What the bloody hell is this, the twilight zone?! I cannot be the ONLY/FIRST user in history to experience this problem!
I'm running Windows 7 on a very decent laptop. I know it's not hardware. my drivers are all up to date. I've thought that maybe the game needs Directx9 installed instead of DX10, but that would be crazy given that i play other, much more modern games that need at least 10.
Hell, i've even tried taking a snapshot of the main menu so you can see what I'm talking about, but the menu in the saved image is displaying colors correctly!! What in the world is going on here?
Any input or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
