Civilization III Fixes (PLEASE READ)

You can download binkw32.dll from a number of internet sites. I would suggest d/ling it and putting it the game directory.
 
hi if i wanted to save a map what file would I put it in oh and I aslo have civ3 complete and was wondering why does a map sometimes say it incompatble it doesent make sence to me since I own the top version?
 
Civ III plain with 1.29f patch, Win2k, admin rights. Before the patch, I had the lack of video issue. Once patched, now it's requesting the CD... evidently the SafeDisc problem. How do I get around this?
 
Well....I was lazy one time and accidently deleted the civilization 3 folder...to make room for one other game that didnt work. Apparently I did not get all the necessary folders to delete or something but... When i install it it goes to the install shield wizard and goes to repair, modify, or remove. When I click on ANY of them and try to do something, it says it's done and everything dissapears...how do I fix this annoying problem....
 
nay, its a problem with installing the disk...and quite frankly ive looked everywhere to fix it and it still doesnt work =\
 
Hi, I just installed Civ3, installation went smoothly. I load up the game and the screen is moved halfway to the left side. The entire left half of the main menu isn't visable, it's very annoying. Any solutions?

I'm running on Windows Vista I mind you, compatibility set to XP SP2 and running as admin. Video Card = GeForce 6150 LE
 
Well i dont want to search this whole thread cus it looooooooooong

I have vista and it wont even load up... well i may have messed it up...

I instaleld it and it asked me about gamespy and im like what the hell might as well and then it asked me to restart and i did and wen i go to load it up there is no play choice or any icon. When i pop it in and i go to install it says modify repair or uninstall none of then do anything. I cant do anything in modify because the only option is OK and the X. Repair seems to do nothing.
Uninstall dont work. Do i play on disc 2? i doubt it but i might and ive restarte and tried again but nothing happens!!

Is it vista or did I screw ut up? and if so, How can i uninstall the remaining components and reinstall again without the gamespy?

Thank you.
 
Hi Ive had the plain Civ III for a while and decided to patch it recently so I could add new units and get more out of the game but Im having problems patching it to 1.29f, my game works fine before I patch but once Ive patched it Civ3Edit works fine but when I come to run the actual game it activates smooth fonts as normal, the screen goes black and then it simply exits no startup movies no error window no sign of anything going wrong, Id play it on 1.07f although it means I cant mod it properly or add much new to the game :( any help? (Ive tried older patches and the most I can patch it to is 1.17f)
 
I am having this exact problem.
The screen goes black, I hear 1 second of music, then it locks. "Not Repsonding."
I put drivers back in, reloaded.
I was 1 time able to run it off of the Editor, but I can not duplicate that.
Ideas?
 
I am playing CIVIII on my laptop with vista and I have just recently run into a problem. My game crashes every time I try to build a city. I was able to build cites without any problems until today. Now it crashes every time I use a settler. How do I fix this problem?
 
Here's my problem; While i'm playing whenever i build a unit, it gets stuck at 1 turn left, until my current research is finished. When that happens, all the units stuck at one turn all finish building. So, even if i can build a settler in 5 turns it's still takes me 20 cause my reseach is not even close to done. Any ideas?
 
Welcome to CFC, Necromancer686!

Is it any unit, or just settlers? If it's just settlers, I suspect it's related, not to research, but to population growth. A settler requires 30 shields and 2 population. So if your town is too small, production will stall until you have the required population.

OTOH, if it's any unit, I don't know what the problem is. You might check the Bug Reports sub-forum.
 
Workers, warriors, settlers. . .etc. they all get stuck at one turn left, it's not population cause i don't get that message where i can delay production or abandon the city. And in the city interface, it shows all the shields full and one turn left. . .
 
right i posted before with the problem over patching civIII plain version to 1.21 or 1.29f with any patches below seemingly running fine, ive had a look through the forums and quite a few others seem to have had the same problem all have gone unanswered soooo just to clear a few things up I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the min system specs where altered from the original game on either the 1.21 or 1.29f patch for the plain civIII :)
 
Hi, after playing CIV 4 for ages, I want to reload CIV 3 again. I´m now on XPSP2, previously 98SE, and only want to play CIV3Conquests. Can I get away with only loading the final C3C patch ?
Secondly, my CIV3 CD appears to be a US Version, (Infogrames Interactive Inc. 2001), whereas my C3C CD is a european version which can be used for all versions of CIV3, (PTW is also on board). I´m confused about which patch I need to download. Can anybody help ?

Thanks. :)

IIRC, C3C is a "universal" installer, so it shouldn't matter which version of Civ3 original you add it to. It will patch Civ3 to its final version, and patch (or install) PTW to its final version. The final C3C patch is v1.22f.

Thanks, Padma for confirming my line of thought. The C3C "universal" add-on supports that logic. Thanks again, mrg1808 :)
