Has anyone had similar probs with the recent revises

G4 500mhz, OS X 10.4.6 quicktime 7.1, 75gb HD (7.6gb free)
 
just adding in case you are wondering running Civ3 1.21g

emailed MacSoft unsurprisingly no replies as yet
 
what error do you get?

[EDIT] Just tried it and it loads up a save OK here. G4 1 GHz, OS X 10.4.6 quicktime 7.1.0, Civ3 1.29b2

I tried 1.21 and that started a new game OK as well.

PS Welcome to the madhouse :wavey:

PPS. I doubt if MacSoft have much interest in supporting vanilla Civ3 now, as they aren't going to get any more revenue from it since Aspyr released Complete.

Sorry about not posting an answer earlier.

Assuming that your 75gb HD is your Start Up Disk, the problem is that you do not have enough free space available. Since Panther, OSX has been designed to "Optimize (de-frag) on the fly" - in order to do this it is recommended that 30% hard drive space is available, less than 25% will lead to problems with your system (e.g. freezing) and less than 10% can/may result in the Start Up Disk failing to boot correctly.
