Ok I just finished downloading entire Civ V through Steam overnight after having deleted all local files through same. It is still the same problem, howeever I had not thought of this before but I am able to set via GraphicsSettingsDX9.ini Windowed mode 1920x1080 and I am now playing again in my...

Thanks for the reply, and I apologize if I did not make my problem clear. When starting game, but before actually in a game, on main menu, Options, Video Options - ALL options are blank! I cannot select screen resolution, or any other video settings - there are nothing in the drop-down boxes...

I have not had a time to play this game in about 6 months or so. Last time I played it screen resolution was full screen 1920x1080 which worked great as I have a setup that exceeds recommended requirements. Anyways started it again today and waited for steam and Civ 5 updates to download and...

Oh I am crapping in my boxers of fear now - NOT! NoCD pathces are so legitimite users don't have to wear out their original CD-ROM or play a music cd of their choice while playing the game!!! Text deleted

Every other CD-ROM and DVD-ROM I have works fine, but of course they have not been in my CD-ROM drive as long and as many times as the Civilization IV CD has, simply because I play CIV IV, or used to play before this crap, more than other games. The CD has simply been worn thin by my drive...

Let me try and sum up my experience with Civilization IV. 1) Received wrong (French) Tech Tree. 2) Blue and green colors on quick chart, virtually identical. Bad choice of colors! 3) Not able to consistently play game until second patch. 4) CD-ROM unreadable after two months of play...

This Soap Opera just gets worse and worse! 2KGames did not respond to my first email, requesting an address so I could return the defect CD-ROM, so on Feb. 19th I resend the email see below: RESEND: Emailed a request for a return address 11 days ago, and have NOT heard a peep...

I have not had much luck with this release. As a matter of fact I have never had such bad experience with any program. First I was such a naive sucker and preordered CIV IV so I could get it when it came out, and even in the Collectors Edition, then I could not play it until the second patch...

I need clarification on the special ability of Archers and Melee units. On page 33-34 in the manual it says about Archer units special abilities: "1 First Strike" Exactly what does this mean? How many percent? "+50% City Defense" "+25% Hills Defense" But then on page 41 it says...

I think you are misunderstanding me. The game shows rainbow colors, see attachment, when AGP is set to anything but 0 speed! Actually even with the ATI Control panel loaded and AGP set to zero, it seem to show rainbow colors. So I edited the auto loading of all ATI stuff out on the registry...

For about a week I was able to play Civ 4 as it came, ver 1.0 out of the box, after having turned AGP down to zero (0) in the ATI control panel under SmartGART. Then I it stopped working without constant problems. So I patiently waited weeks for the patch, using the Civ4 package as a door...

Right, and it was definately not something I first thought of to change to get the game to work. But whatever works, I'll do it!
