    Freezing and reboots- NVIDIA 7600GT

    Looks like it could possibly be the power supply. I mistakenly believed it to be a 350W, I cracked open my box today and it turns out its 300W. Never had a problem with any other games, but perhaps running Civ4 on the highest graphics levels is actually more taxing then Oblivion *sigh*. Sorry...

    Freezing and reboots- NVIDIA 7600GT

    OK, I got the new BIOS (I did need an upgrade) and then it actually got worse! But, this is not entirely a bad thing because what actually happened was that after installing the BIOS graphical glithces and errors became apparent. There was weird whitish "nets" all over the ground, kind of like...

    Freezing and reboots- NVIDIA 7600GT

    Here are the dxdiag results. Please help guys. I am really disappointed that I can't play Civ, I've been playing since the first Civ :P. Thanks!

    Freezing and reboots- NVIDIA 7600GT

    OK, whats memtest? I really don't think its either of the problems you both mentioned. I believe I already have that hotfix from Microsoft because it was recommended for NWN2 as well. I don't understand it. NWN2 runs well. Hitman: Blood Money is damn fast, Oblivion is SCREAMING. What the...

    Freezing and reboots- NVIDIA 7600GT

    Tried that, I think I set it to 30 actually. Didn't work, I think it's some kind of memory issue (not graphics), it acts like one might expect a memory leak to act. I am at work right now though and not at home so I can't run the system resource montior thing. I read some earlier threads were...

    Well concerning emulating RL, I would say that Civ lands fairly far off the mark. One gripe I have in particular is that on Earth1000AD (and most Huge maps) it takes about 5-6 turns for a Galleon to reach the "New World", which translates to between 25-60 YEARS(!!) depending on the game year.

    I already posted ref my freezes and reboots in the technical forum but I was wondering, would just buying Warlords solve any bugs? Does Warlords include technical bug fixes as well as addon units and such? Thanks!

    Freezing and reboots- NVIDIA 7600GT

    There's got to be a better solution than that. This game has been out for quite awhile. I can't believe that there aren't others out there that have the same card as I do (it's a relatively common and popluar card) and haven't found a way to solve this problem. Anyone else? Please help, this...

    Freezing and reboots- NVIDIA 7600GT

    Well, I followed the advice in this thread to no avail: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=145238 I am having trouble with the game constantly freezing (with the freezing getting progressively longer and more frequent) and ultimately reboots when playing later in the game or...

    *smirk* ... TAG!!! YOU'RE IT!!! I wikipedia'ed it but it didn't seem to say much more. I am excited about the "corporations" bit. That seems really interesting. Still, I just got Civ 4 itself. I haven't even gotten around to getting Warlords yet, reasoning that I should at least play a few...

    Good. Maybe I should have followed your current example and not "taken the bait" when you and the other poster threw it out there to begin with. In either case, I am glad this is resolved.

    Those that support Bush are likewise unimpressed with people that would call the leader of our nation "Dumb" and more or less poo-poo anyone who supports the President by saying they are "unimpressed." I said nothing other than that something COULD be said. I was making a point, I said nothing...

    Once again, does this forum really have to move to politics? Doesn't that belong in an OT forum somewhere? I shouldn't have to point this out, but the President STILL has the support of a sizeable portion of the US population (myself included), many of whom may be Civ fanatics. That said, I...

    *sigh* ? Must this thread be turned to politics? :rolleyes: Anyhow- I have another question. In the manual it states something to the effect of that if you have the holy building for a particular religion that you can see the city and city space of any city with that religion. However...
