Hey there Civ4 tech peeps.
I've been playing this wonderful game since around Christmas time, and love it. But I have been noticing an ongoing problem that I can't seem to find the solution. I've checked these forums, and others, over the last few months, and have found some very helpful tips, but none that address this exact problem.
I tend to play Huge worlds, on Marathon speed. When I engage in diplomacy with any and all leaders, my system slows down. This gets worse and worse, the more I speak with them. It never happens during the first half hour or so of play, but after that, it'll kill the game for me. I need to save, quit the game, and re-load to solve the issue. It seems to me to be a memory based problem, where it just isn't dumping the files after usage (not a geek here).
I've got an AMD 64 3500+ with 1GB of Corsair DDR400, and an nVidia 6800GT. The game runs beautifully until I start visiting the other Leaders, or vice versa.
I have dropped all of the ingame movies to help solve this, but I am certain that it's directly to do with the Leaders animations. Any way to make them static? or even to remove them totally?
Thanks in advance, and sorry if this is answered elsewhere, but I've been searching, to no avail!!
Thanks again!
