There is a workaround: alt-tabbing out of the game and then returning to it forces the loading out of the "initializing" stage. It's not perfect but it's much much faster. Is there anything I can do to fix this? (I found the workaround here...

Hi all! Problem description: Loading savegames is very slow (40 seconds or more around medieval times on standard size) when already playing in-game. BUT loading a savegame from the main menu is super fast! (game starts in 5 seconds or so). Something causes loading while already in-game to be...

Apolyton have got a good start strategy to show off the benefits of city states. Just start as the Egyptians and roughly follow the guide. It will open your eyes on what's new in Civ V (you could play this game a hundred times and still not use the city states properly). Try it...

rightclick the game in the steam game menu -> properties -> updates tab -> remove the checkbox (turn off steam cloud) I have a feeling that take2 are noob at using steamworks. e: steamcloud is a system to 'sync' the savegames and keyboard configuration on all computers that you use with your...

Steam's advantage is small patches because they don't require user intervention, it's all automatic. This also means odds are that at some point they will release an update that breaks stuff.

AFAIK the 3850 is the fastest card available for the AGP bus (AGP was the slot type that existed before pci-express was invented). Because of the slow agp bus, it takes a while for the textures to be loaded into the graphic card ram, but it seems once they're there, it works well enough. I'm...

Alright, for those who have awfully anachronistic LOW specs like me: Intel P4 Hyperthread 3Ghz 2GB ram Radeon 3850 512MB AGP The demo runs fine! I can't believe it! I just finished my first 100 turns game, it was great! I hope it will handle it in later game stages, but so far everything was...

Ow yes downloading the demo and oh no :( hoping the old computer manages :(

^^this. Just assume the expansions will make vanilla mechanics obsolete. Also, a couple of feature articles showing off what CFC games are like. Like the gotm and pitboss and all those things you guys talk about here. Show us what they are about!!! Do it in a let's play fashion.

So can we give a spearman the anti-tank promotion? 'cus that would be cool in fact. e: or the anti-GDR promotion.

There used to be an alternative link here but Right-click downloading it works, so just go and do that. Right click, save as. There's also a big discussion about the manual here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=379987

Thanks for explaining the dictatorship approach of your team. I hope you don't get exiled over it too. And I don't even know what Pitboss means or how it contradicts what muhammad posted. You guys throw this jargon around all the time. Guess it's normal being a civ site and all.

Hi I don't often participate here but I thought I'd chip in here. It's kinda interesting to see this "BTS Multi-Team Demogame" thing whatever it is. I tried to figure it out (it's the first time I hear about such a thing). It seems there are several teams that all have a private forum each, so...

Couldn't help it :mischief: We do not tolerate trolling on the forums, this is the first and only warning
