Hi,
Believe it or not. My Civ III CD-Rom is scratched. It will not install in full install, it fails on intro.bik (or similar filename) after a long wait and does a full roll-back. I have to do a minimum install.
Then, it refuses to recognise the disc as a Civ III Cd rom about 40% of the time. Not too much of a problem as I just run off the Conquests CD ROM, but, should I rebuild my machine again in the future, and the disk fail to install, I'm a bit screwed.
I've downloaded a warez archive of the iso for the cd, but this is not recognised without a no-cd patch. Then of course I have to try and find one that is for the appropriate patch of civ III. Which I can't.
So I'm a bit annoyed, and slightly worried that one day I won't be able to play at all. At least on the latest patch level...
Does anyone know if there is a way to get a replacement media from fireaxis or anyone? This is the second copy of the game I've bought (after I got rid of the first copy a couple of years ago then decided I wanted to play again, finally tracked down a copy for £30 about 2 weeks before the gold bundle with ptw came out, then bought conquests a bit later after that I really don't want to buy it AGAIN...)
Cheers,
