All I can say is wait for the first patch that fixes it. There are at least 5 or 6 major bugs that make the game unplayable or near-unplayable. This might or might not be related to one of the other similar bugs people have run into.

You say we should sell it on E-bay? Where we will lose a significant percentage of its purchase price? Why should we have to lose money on a game that won't even work.

Oddly enough, my workers don't want to build rail on my own soil. I've never had them build on foreign soil though.

I didn't see this reported, but it is a major bug: While playing in the later game, the game causes the entire system to reboot. I tried the workaround of changing my ATI drivers to version 4.10, but that did not solve the problem. I noticed that the last time it happened, my monitor went to...

Yep. Last night I cleared the cache, updated the BIOS to the latest beta, tweaked the BIOS, de-installed, then re-installed 4.10, and updated 4-in 1. Something I did in there allowed me to play for about 90 minutes straight before it rebooted the system.

Same reboot problem, latest Catalyst drivers, 9600 Pro, A64 3200+

Not really, this is just many people trying to find a way, any way to get the game to work for them. The game either works right or it doesn't, depending on some unknown factors.

I tried it, did not fix my problem of the system rebooting.

Yes, I have upgraded all the software aspects of the system.

What many people's issue is here is that there has been 1) No official word of when a patch will be released. It could be in five minutes, it could be a month. There has been no communication between customers and the company. 2) No word on what it will fix. There are a large number of...

So true. I'd call 512 standard for all but the absolute cheapest, crappiest systems being sold. 1gb is just now common in systems at retail outlets (generally those over $600). Anything over 1.0 is rare.

That is a problem that many people are experiencing.

Not true. I have a Radeon 9600 Pro that had black/cream colored textures this evening.

The fact of the matter is that NO 3D GAME out there will run well (or at all) on a laptop unless it has a real graphics processor on it. The same applies to desktops. Read the forums and look at the users complaining that it will not run on their $900 Dell that has onboard graphics. If you...

The issue that many people are having is that CivIV runs well on most machines, but is flat out unplayable on the rest. Most of the time when games are released with significant bugs, they are still playable. In this case (even after the failed to initialize... fix), myself and many other...
