From initial impressions, I must say that Civ4 has the potential to be an amazing game. Let's hope when we get down to the nitty gritty and the million variations of strategies and play-styles that I can still say the same thing.

(Note: this is a specific request for help on an individual issue, not something that most ppl will get a benefit from) I'm one of the many with the ATI rendering bug...I use ATI RADEON 9550. However, the computer I'm using came with a pre-built Nvidia geforce4 MX with 64mb memory--which...

Dear Original Poster, Where exactly does maturity play into this equation? I just purchased a 53 dollar game that said on the side of the box "ATI Radeon 7500 or better needed to play". I have a Radeon 9550--a common, very decent graphics card. I get home and find that Radeon 9550 cards...

No offense to the funshine happy days original poster, well, maybe a little, but I think it is valid to steam and rant over this. How on earth could a decent Quality Assurance run miss the fact that this doesn't seem to work on what seems to be at least half of the ATI cards out there? Two...

With as many ppl that seem to be having the problem, I think the most wise thing to do is just wait, fiddle around with what you feel comfortable fiddling around with, and hope that Firaxis comes up with a solution.

ATI Radeon 9550 Tried the workaround steps 1-4 suggested. Same problem. =/

ATI Radeon 9550 2.1ghz 1gb ram

Just out of curiousity, Does anyone who has an ATI Radeon card AND purchased the game today (as in, didn't have it in beta) have the game up and running?

If someone does get an old set of drivers to work, let us know :) There may or may not be some pre-halloween candy in the deal for you.

Having the same problem as the orignal poster. Radeon 9550, 2.1ghz, 1gig ram

Same problem here. Radeon 9550, 1 gig ram, 2.1ghz Also, something I've noticed that was strange is that I get this error when using the "install" disk to click the application, when I use the "Play" disc, I just get a wrong disc inserted error. /sigh previous dozen or so games that...

7 day ban for threadjacking, trolling, and religon bashing.

For all you sheeple who seem to think that Firaxis did us a "favor" by putting out this patch, I suggest you remove your head from your posterior, blink a few times, wake up and smell the dollar bills growing out behind the firaxis studios. Maybe instead of allowing software companies to put...

As soon as these corruption and gpt bugs were found, 2 things should have happened: One, the Quality Assurance leader, or programmer in charge of egregious bugs, or game producer----someone---should have had their butt chewed out and fired to show the rest of the development teams at...

I just love game companies. Con us into buying an incomplete, malfunctioning game and then make it sound like they are doing us a favor by fixing it. Oh, and while they are at it, they tell us they'll fix it, and in typical software development arrogance, miss the deadline completely. (Some...
