I'm taking a long shot here. Is it possible that you check the temps for the cpu as well as the gfx card? AFAIK 6800gt is one hot card. Artifacts usually appear when the gpu or gfx ram gets unstable, and the system will practically hang the instant signals to video card becomes corrupted. With...

:) , I'm just trying to return, however little it may be, the help/tips I've received from the community here. I do understand how you feel. How about the game settings? During the hard lock, is there any hdd activity? Prior to the hard lock, were there extraordinary symptoms exhibited? In...

Could you try the latest 81.xx drivers? 71.89 is pretty outdated as far as directx9c compatibility updates is concerned. And I wouldn't be surprised if you still have slow framerates or lagginess since this game is pretty intensive at large res on huge maps. After updating to 81.xx, try again...

Glad to here that, :) .. Have fun, I'm at 2055 now.. hehe Hi Tul, could you describe more specifically the problem? If your's is consistently crashing every time you enter civilopedia, I doubt it is a graphics problem. May be faulty memory. Do state your specs, thx.. Hi Naginata, what...

Hi again WoodenEye, its not fair then to say the game is entirely at fault, when it worked flawlessly on your bro's comp? I tend to think that its really a composition of 'problems' both on the game's graphics end, as well as on the graphics card side. My suggestions earlier on merely lowered...

I've just completed another 3hr run, no CTDs. So far, the only case where a CTD occurred was when I scrolled downwards really fast, causing a rapid zoom-out that might have triggered the 'bad programming' part.. :/ But otherwise, playing works perfectly fine.

You're right, in a way, to say that. As far as fps is concerned, and let's just talk about the average person, the amount of difference jumping from 30fps to 60fps is not significant, and by that i mean create enough distraction to the gamer. The rationale for capping to 40 is not to solve the...

Care to state your specs? Its swapping pretty much all the time for me, but the sporadic sudden intensifying periods are now not showing. And I am playing a single-player custom game, all slots but 1 filled, on huge as well, and its smooth for me. I am pretty confident its the settings because...

Hi guys, i've read several threads over the past few days claiming rolling back to forceware 71.xx solves the problem. While i do not question the genuine intent in helping fellow civ fans here, rolling back drivers isn't exactly any sort of solution in my humble opinion. Granted the older...
