Civ 4 BTS Leader Picture Glitch

[Cherokee Jack]

I posted this on another topic, the Technical Support page, but I didn't get any replies.

I am running Civ 4 BTS on my Mac OS X. Before I got BTS I ran Civ 4 with high graphics so I know I have the right system req. for this game. I just recently got and installed BTS so I started a game and every thing worked fine. But after the first time (and every time since) whenever I look at a leader portrait (either in the choosing screen or the diplomatic screen) there is something wrong with the character layering that makes them look weird.

I tried reinstalling the game but it does the same thing. I am running BTS without Warlords, I don't know if that makes a difference.

I have attached some screenshots of the glitch.

This is a link to the old thread that has some additional screenshots: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=427638

Do you have anti-aliasing set to zero? If not, make that change. Anything other than zero causes weird effects in the leader heads on Mac. If that does not solve your problem, take a look at the sticky in the Mac Forum here on CFF, then post your query in the Mac Forum if you haven't found the answer in the sticky.

Oh my god they look horrifying.

Did you check the graphics card compared to the minimum requirement graphics card?

Yay, the anti-aliasing thing worked. Ha ha, it's weird how that setting operates but what ever, I'm fine with it. Thank you so much.

You're welcome!

If you haven't already, check out the Mac forum anyhow. There is lots of Mac specific CIV info there.
