This did NOT work with 1.52 patch, but it does with 1.61 for me and may for anyone else with this error. Simply go in and change your resolution settings to Low under "Advanced" and "Options" from the main in-game menu. This allows me to play for the first time in months!! Good luck to...

I posted this a long time ago, as did others but I still need help! My game used to play after the first patch and would crash in the later centuries. Patch 1.52 created an error when I attempted to load a saved game or open a new game. Patch 1.61 did not resolve this error. Therefore, I...

You'll notice there are many others who have experienced the same problem with little success in getting around it. Supposedly emptying the cache has helped one person but it did not help me. Neither did a complete reinstall.... http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=149274

First of all, I cannot locate the game cache any longer! So, I uninstalled Civ 4 and deleted all Civ 4 folders in Programs and My Games, rebooted and reinstalled. The game still has the same crash fatal errors mentioned above after all of this. Any other suggestions since the game is no...

I know, I know....I should know better than to think I could fix anything! I wanted to let everyone know that I tried turning on the "Memsav" function in the config file, (It's not "MemorySaver" like it says in the readme file) to fix this problem, unfortunately it did not change the problem...

Sigh....I could play the game (before 1.52) into the 1800-1900's before it would crash EVERY time. Now it gives me the same FATAL_ERROR message as above anytime I try to begin a saved or new game so I can't play at all. BUT, I also have another errror (I'm sorry I can't post a picture...

This doesn't seem very unusual unfortunately. Very early on I e-mailed ATI for assistance when it became clear that Take 2 would not read my e-mail and ATI responded telling me to do exactly what I told them in the e-mail would not work.... The patch got me to the 20th century and no matter...

GREAT NEWS! First off, ATI did not respond with any useful information, BUT if you can't see the opening videos and there is no game menu, then simply do the unpack the Art Files as EagleEye says above -- nothing else works but this sure does!! (Oh, per other threads, if you can update your...

For all of you out there with the INF error trying to update your cards -- I'm on a Mobility Radeon 9000 and, as you've probably heard, no opening videos or main menu, just music and the earth globe and logo. I have a request in to ATI to answer my question about updating and the INF error...

Laptop - P4, 3.06 GHz; 768 MB RAM; ATI Mobility Radeon 9000; XP SP 2. No opening videos; no main menu to choose options from; no playing game.

This was my problem as well until I reinstalled my Radeon Mobility 9000 drivers. Now I get a blank screen with the music of the videos and then I get the giant earth globe in the background and CIV IV logo - but no menu. But the sound sure is there! Sigh....if only I could play this game.

Well I'm sure that others have been waiting longer than me but they've had my e-mail for four days so far with no response.... So I too highly doubt that they are moving on to other e-mails. I figure they are just compiling the list of problems from e-mails into different groups to address...

Thanks for the suggestion, but mine also said "did not find better software than what I currently have" etc. etc. Anybody else come up with a solution yet for no menu, just the floating globe other than updating drivers when your drivers won't update? :-P Ati Mobility Radeon 9000 here....

I certainly "extrapolated" no such thing to the extent that you imply, I'm only offering that it seems odd that he would be so general in his statements about "system incompatibilities" and other such items but so specific about "invisible terrain" which seems to have affected so many users...

Well at least we know that Firaxis was aware of many of the problems that we are encountering -- because they encountered it in testing. Soren Johnson's afterword in the manual says this about the testers (at the end of his commentary): "They were but a few of a larger group...who put up...
