    [BtS] Rise of Mankind 2

    Loved the mod, can't deal with the constant crashes ... I've spent more time trying to research the cause of the crash than playing the mod. Frustrating! :crazyeye:

    Does BUG or BAT slow down the game like other MODS?

    Huge difference between BUG & WoC, the last mod I played. Favor is in BUGs corner on the speed issue, by far.

    Upgrading comp for Civ4

    Thanks for the info. I'm in the middle of a home remodel, and had to move the computer. Since it's in a different location I didn't have internet access and decided to do a reinstall of XP while my house is in shambles for a week or two. That oughtta clean it up a bit.

    Upgrading comp for Civ4

    Can you expand on the msconfig? I'm clueless. Benifit to the E6300 being around a while: there is a wealth of info on the net on OC settings specific to the P5B-E :cool: Most of the work/testing has already been done, but I'm still in research-mode on OCing to ensure I don't fry anything &...

    Upgrading comp for Civ4

    Too many! I've recently started to shutdown things like AVG, spyware prog, etc. when playing Civ4. I think my plan of attack will be: 1. Reinstall XP 2. Update drivers 3. Real CPU cooler (stock right now), such as Zalman9500 or such 4. 2x2GB RAM, maintain dual channel this way even...

    Upgrading comp for Civ4

    I'm actually thinking about a reinstall of the OS. It took all night to defrag a 320GB drive (80 free), that doesn't seem typical ime. Another option is to OC the E6300 and see where that get's me. I do run other apps when playing, usually Firefox with a few pages up, including...

    Upgrading comp for Civ4

    If that's the case, I just can't understand WTH I'm doing wrong with this computer ?? I read plenty of threads about people running huge maps, dozens of civs, etc. About the best I can do is a standard map late game, 6-8 civs ... unless I feel like 2 minute lags between turns. My focus is...

    What was the best 1980s computer?

    In my neck of the woods (central CA), Apple ][e's were everywhere, with TRS80's, C64's & assorted Atari's mixed in. The schools all had the ][e's, and I was lucky enough to have one at home with two floppy drives (step father did peoples taxes during that time of the year, I gamed on it the...

    Something that makes me angry

    I'm in the same boat as OP. I built my last computer for this game, with all the standard modern stuff (2 GB RAM, 8800 vid card, etc.), and I still can't play large maps without suffering extensive delays per turn waiting on AI. Oh well ...

    [BtS-WoC] World of Civilization - Modding Standard

    Was turned onto this mod by my boss of all people, glad I found it! Love it love it love it :goodjob: Heal up Rock! I've had 3 hernia operations, I knew how bad it can lay you out. My last one had me out of work for a month! Don't cough, sneeze, or do any sit-ups :crazyeye:

    Loyal PC gamers finally kicked in teeth

    (did not read through this entire thread, just responding to the OP ...) I don't consider myself a brain-dead console player. I enjoy various platforms for game playing. Started with the ol' Atari 2600 when I was a pup, later gravitated to a Vic 20 & Apple ][e back in the day. Fast-forward a...

    Where do you buy your parts from?

    Newegg.com :goodjob: Never had a problem there Have used ZipZoomFly & TigerDirect in the past, with not-as-good-as-newegg results.

    Can I get a saved game?

    Yes, I just wanted a BIG (Warlords) saved game file to test out my new rig yesterday. Yes, I can make my own, however it'll take a few days & dozens of hours of play to get one BIG enough to consider a good test. Not a big deal, I have a game going that is over a meg now. That is bigger...
