Interesting thoughts. I pretty much agree that VI has a good few issues with the late game as discussed, and could do with improvement, but I do generally enjoy playing it, apart from the much more interesting military actions from V. IV I loved for improving how borders worked which were overly...

In actual gameplay, I've got a huge lead and am simply ticking off the turns until victory. Not much excitement. A couple of notable oddities in that I've had trade offers from other civs on three occasions so far which were absurd. I can't remember exactly, but the first offer was 300+ per...

Apologies for the delay, spent some time dealing with other comp issues. After updating my driver and doing every possible diagnostic I could think of, I removed the graphics card, and this appeared to solve the problem. However, after a while the crash recurred (they'd happened before the new...

Just blue screened again, this time it was this following: DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL And the file mentioned was usbport.sys Graphics have been reduced, I wonder what else it could be!

I'm on SP3, 2.4GB memory, got a shiny new graphics card too. I'd be surprised if memory was an issue, although now I've got the new card, all my graphics settings are high, so maybe I should drop some of them. I don't have a special keyboard or anything though. I'll see if running at a lower...

Hullo Ori, or anyone else. Got the usual blue screen again this evening, the error messages were: PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA kmixer.sys address B4E712A2 BASE AT B4E62000 Datestamp 480254b3 Is this at all useful? ALso, I'm on Windoze XP and it was Civ IV 1.74.

Tried it this evening, and as usual, the game just hung.

I'll give that a try.

I assume no-one else has such trouble?

Hullo, I'm having the same problem. I cannot however find this event manager. COuld you direct me to it please? I've spent quarter of an hour websearching for the info without luck! Cheers.

I've recently bought BTS, and I've tried to get into an online game for the first time. I have a GameSpy account already, and I've tried to sign in both via Civ 4 and via GameSpy, with no luck. Am I missing something? Cheers, Ian

Another silly query - when I load the saved game, it crashes the whole program with an invalid page fault. Is there any way to find out what I might have done wrong? As far as I know, I updated all the files correctly and systematically, and the programme works fine on a basic game start.

I'd given up reading the read-mes - I assumed it would actually be available on this site! Okay I'll download the pack again... Thanks

Call me stupid, but I cannot find the file for this month's game anywhere! Help! I've downloaded all the add-ins, but just have had no luck at all in finding the most important bit.

Well I've been playing Civ 3 for a while, and it certainly doesn't grab me as much as the first two ever did-probably because I find the game too hard! It seems that if there is anything much in the way of misfortune early in the game, you don't have much of a chance of catching up to the...
