    Please help a newbie

    Yeah, I gave it a try, but no difference. The game still runs perfectly fine up until the point where it commits suiceide -_-' It's either a software issue or something to do with the graphics card, but as I'm too scared to put in the Ti4200 again, and my old card's gone walkabout, I can't...

    Someone has to say it... Navy SEALs?

    *Cough* Zero Australian casualties *Cough* RE: US UUs... Well, it sucks to have the best civics out there, I guess. AFAIC, America gets perhaps the best all-round start position in the game, so it makes sense that they have a late-game target to aim for which is fairly easily achieved. It's a...

    None Australian civ?

    Jebus, what was I thinking? MacQuarie needs either organised or industrious as his second trait, rather than expansive... Need more sleep and less forum-trawling. Ugh. :sad:

    2d Unit graphics?

    I realise this defeats the whole purpose of the 3d engine, but... It seems some people are having slowdown issues with Civ4 due to the 3d units. That, and as a larger number of people have pointed out, 3d graphics aren't really necessary in a strategy game, just eye candy. SO I ask the...

    I tried installing a new graphics card- went from GeForce4 MX440 to GeForce4 Ti4200... And back again. I got blank screen and the card didn't fit the slot properly anyway.And the fan didn't work so it toasted my dainty little fingers when I removed it. Not related to cIV but... *sigh*. Well, I...

    None Australian civ?

    AUSSIE! Love the work so far. Two issues with the city list tho: 1. Put Canberra first. There's a reason Sydney and Melbourne never got the capital :P At least make it second on the list, or else there's no point in having it on there at all (it's just a really big office complex, if you ask me...

    Sorry but I absolutely HATE Civ 4 !

    At least you can run cIV! :cry: I agree that the advisor screens are fairly trashy in the new version- they remind me a lot of the ones from Civ2: ToT ie. BLANDORAMA! It all reeks of XPitis (looks like a kiddy console :p ) The big diff which I found a joy is the way resources and tech...

    Inadequate power supply=problems with high end PCs

    Righto then. I guess it's not a driver issue for me then :cry: That means waiting for another patch!

    Crash to a 800x600 4bit desktop

    I switched to windowed mode in case it helped, but I'm getting the same thing. What would have been a straight dump to desktop from fullscreen became an error message followed by a straight dump to desktop. I've switched drivers three times, from 77.62 to 71.89 to 81.95. Identical problem with...

    Inadequate power supply=problems with high end PCs

    Hmm. I just UPgraded (SHAME! BOO!) to the same card and I'm having CTD problems with Civ4. How's the game running on your system at the moment? Just wondering if it's an issue with the card or no... EDIT: Oh, and I'm running a 300W power supply. Is that bad? :confused:

    What were they doing anyway?

    Ha! I knew it wasn't just me! That was a real piece of crud! :D Issues-wise, I too am getting the CTDs of Doom. Few Blue screens, but consistent dropouts. I can't even learn how the game works properly, I'm so worried about it crashing :mad: If I hadn't been on holidays last week, I wouldn't...

    Card's a NVidia GeForce 4 MX 440, 64Mb. CPU's AMD Duron 1200 Ram's something over 700Mb (I dunno how either...) Odd, I could have sworn that I'd unticked the "Uninstall patch" button :mad: no matter, i've just finished d/l-ing it again. I have a feeling that my CTDs might be a problem with the...

    Fix-It List

    I just reinstalled after defragging, and I can't run the patch. It doesn't even open. On a 56k modem, downloading that 28meg sucker again isn't too appealing. Any ideas? :(

    Can't update!!!

    Trying to eliminate those pesky CTDs, I uninstalled, defragged, reinstalled my drivers (NVidia 81.95), reinstalled Civ, but when I tried to run the patch (already downloaded it) it wouldn't open! :cry: I can't be bothered to wait another two hours to download the patch... Anyone got any ideas?
