    Do we have an ETA for hotfix for rendering issue?

    I, for one, hope they have one soon, since the 'solutions' that are being bandied about are nothing of the sort. Even though I've already followed every suggestion I've seen posted in regards to updating drivers, the Directx 9c nonsense and the other voodoo remedies, I knew they weren't the...

    Failed to Initialize Renderer

    From FIRAXIS: Possible Fixes for "Failed to Initialize Renderer" Startup Error

    Uninstalled the drivers using the utility, reinstalled new ones fresh, and while it loads _slightly_ more than it did before, it still crashes out to the Renderer error. But now I do get a black screen with a Civ4 cursor for a few moments, which wasn't happening before... Update: Fiddled with...
