Civilization Load Problem

[robm2002]

Hi,

I've had Civilization 4 for a while now, and have never had any problems with playing the game.

However, a couple of weeks ago I tried to load the game as usual, but for some reason it refuses to open. I don't get an error message or anything, it just WILL NOT LOAD.

This is extremely frustrating to say the least, has anybody got any suggestions as to what might be the problem?

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game but it still doesn't work.

Please help!

Uninstall, manually erase all leftover game directories, reinstall, repatch. If that won't help, you should think about any changes to your computer's configuration and possibly undo them.

BTW how far can you get? Do you at least see the loading screen in 6 languages? Enable logging in the ini file and search for a file called init.log. Detailed instructions here: http://www.2kgames.com/civ4/support_logging.htm

Nothing appears at all, I literally see the egg-timer for a split second then thats it!

The logging link looks helpful, I'll give it a shot when I'm at home later.

Cheers!
