Great. If I ever had this problem, I would be very excited right now.

Well, I did. Although harkonen fix solved that for me, so I cant say with 100% certainty if this actually fixes anything meaningfull works now that I went to 1.52 with these new drivers. :cool:

ATI released a new driver on the same day: Catalyst v5.13

didn't see any Civ4 specific fixes in the release notes...

Nvidia release new drivers more often than Microsoft release critical updates. I can't say this one has high priority on my download list, and I'm currently downloading...nothing.

That's nice... I just bought a new computer with two 7800's....

I'm having problems with corrupt graphics occasionally.

However, I have a GeForce 6200 128MB.

Am I screwed?

Too bad Nvidia only released them for Windows 2000 and XP, for the Windows 64 users you're out of luck :sad:

PS. The current release drivers seem to be fine anyway.

Ironically I think I had this happen to me today. It was a tilted axis map and I had a boat along the pole scouting. When I scrolled out to get back to a city the water glitched for about 1/10th of a second. Then was back to its 7800GT goodness.

Lucky you... :king:

Anyway, this problem was kinda irregular in my case. Sometimes it happened, sometimes not. It´s good to see it fixed.
