Civ3:Complete C3C editor does NOT load correctly

[CartesianFart]

Just glanced at the instructions, and it looks like you're just messing with the art folders. I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work.

I would make a system restore point, and give it a try. If it doesn't work, you can roll back to the restore point. Assuming you're using XP, that is.

Yeah,it works,but the instruction was quite tedious and confusing as well.

yea...something weird like that is happening to my civ 3 complete. I installed it two times already and it is still giving me the same problem. Many times it wont load up, the civ 3 complete loading icon appears, but nothing after happens. The game does not fully load and does not launch. Sometimes it will launch, but it is a pain in the rear to get it started, and it has only ever started 3 out of the 50 times i have tried to get it to load.

whoops, i just realized that this doesnt have to do with the civ 3 editor, but the game itself....

Well guys I get the same problem on xp.

So what was the fix?

Hello fellow civ3 editor problem sufferers. I got the same problem and will try the solution suggested earlier in this thread, hopefully it will work. I just want to ask does anyone get a similar problem in multi-player?
I can play multi-player PBEM but when I load the save file it shows a 'black' map until after the new production cycle is complete. On the city display it shows the production resources but not the tiles themselves, rest of the screen is fine. I am hoping that the 'fix' will remove this problem too, but I can't understand why it shows the tiles fine after the new production cycle.


Okay I've just replaced my PC. I've now got a pentium 4 with a 64mb video and XL o/s and the editor works fine without moving any files etc. So in my case it's probably a o/s or Hardware problem.
