Hello,

I thought it might be agood idea to start a compilation of systems that have bugs, to find exactly what hardware configurations are buggy. For example, it could turn out that people with a certain nvidia drivers are almost always buggy, or an amd 3500 with an 6800gt makes the game crash during wonder movies. I think it would be useful for people if there was a thread that listed systems that did not work, so they could either decide not to buy civ4, or know how to upgrade their system. I think that this thread should be for only buggy systems, but maybe later we could start a new thread for systems that have no problems.

Please post in this format:

Cpu:
Ram:
Graphics Card:
Graphics Card Driver:
OS:
Soundcard:
Soundcard Driver:
Hardrive usage: (ie 30%, 70%, etc..)
Overclock:
Page File: (my computer->system information->advanced->preformance settings->advanced->change virtual memory)

Answer the following with a number from 1 to 10, with 1 being no problem and 10 very serious problem:

Wonder Movie Crashes:
Cheshire Cat:
Sound stuttering:
Smeared Tiles:
Crash on globe view:
CTDs:
Crash to garbled screen:
Identical map generation:
Dark terrain:
Only food shows for the yield display:
Floodplain splotches:
Walking on water:

For example, here is my system:

Cpu: Pentium 4 2.99ghz
Ram:768mb
Graphics Card: Nvidia FX 5200 128mb
Driver:4.24.20.22.BF
OS: Xp w/ sp2
Soundcard: Creative SB Live! Series (WDM)
Driver: 5.12.1.129
HD Capacity:84%
Overclock: No Overclock
Page file: 768mb
Wonder Movie Crashes:2
Cheshire Cat:1
Sound stuttering:5
Crash on Globe view:1
CTDs:1
Crash to garbled screen:1
Dark terrain:1
Only food shows for the yield display:1
Floodplain splotches:1
Walking on water:1

if anyone has any other bugs that should be in here, feel free to pm me.

Cpu Pentium3 1.3-S (512Kb cache)
Ram 512Mb (PC-133, non-clocked)
Graphics Card ATi Radeon 9800 Pro (128Mb, Driver 4.10 or 5.00)
Os Windows XP Pro SP2
Sound Card Sound Blaster Live! 5.1
Harddrive Usage ~80-100%
Overclock No (cpu/video)
Virtual Memory ~700Mb

No crashes or visual bugs, just too slow due to virtual memory. And music is stuttering during movies due to swapped rendering in background.
