i posted b4 and im very desperate about this situation. I connot play multiplayer. I enter the correct stuff id and pass, and the screen pauses for about a second and doesnt do anything its anyoying. Please help.

Greggolf if you have a problem specific to you it should be in a separate thread; I don't see one at least recently.

It sounds like you have a bad username/password combo. The "no response" from the MP screen typically means this. You may need to reregister your name (gamespy IDs from outside of civ4 don't work), and you may consider registering a new one.

If that's not the problem, then you probably have a firewall issue. There are lots of threads posting on that.

I have downloaded and installed the v2.08 of Warlords. When I tried to start the game again, the computer didnt read the cd. Said that cannot find the cd.


What should I do?

I seem to be having a problem with video drivers...the game used to work...until I downloaded some new ones, now the terrain (even with the worldbuilder work-around) looks like someone's taken a paper shredder to it!

I guess I need to revert to the old drivers (or at least its worth a try) Any idea on how to do this? I'm on an Acer Aspire 3000 running a 64Mb SiSM760GX, and i downloaded the drivers from SiS' own site.

Any help is muchly appreciated (I miss Civ!)

Everytime I try to sign into the multiplayer server it does not sign me in. There is no message from the game informing me why it will not work. It just will not send me to the list of games. If anyone knows why this happening and how to fix it I would be greatly thankful.

I have Civilization 3 and Civ3C installed but when I attempt to open up the Civ3C game I get the message "Sound header files used in the game do not match the ones used in sounds.dll. Check all sound.h and sound device.h versions" and the game does not open.

Any Ideas?

I bought a computer just about a week ago and it is really powerful, and of course it came with Windows Vista. I just installed Civ IV and when I run it, it says I have the wrong CD-ROM in, and it says that for both discs. I called the tech support and they said "It doesn't work with Vista" I then asked if anything is being done about it, they said "We haven't had any information about it." I then aske dif I was just hosed, and they said "The box didn't says it was supported on Vista."

So there ya go, Civ 4 doesn't work on Vista, whatsoever. If anyone can find a way to force it through let us know, until then we are screwed because they arn't doing anything about it.

It's not true. It works fine on my computer, running Vista. But doesn't work on my son's computer, a brand new one, running XP... After patched (2.08).
The tech support is only looking for excuses.
My problem here is the same described by MayaKtt: after patched, the game doesn't recognize the cd in the drive...
It's an issue related to the damn copy-protection...
Any help? My son is really frustrated...

Works fine, eh? Did you have to do anything to it or did it just work fine from a clean install? I'd like it work work on my computer too >.> I don't have warlords though, so I can't get the 2.08 patch.

I did nothing, except a clean install, in a brand new HD. The OS, my three job programs, Norton and Civ IV/Warlords. After that, a lot of junk. Works fine since then…

In order to Fix the Unable to find the CD problem for the Regular Civ 4 you need to get a CD Crack Just go to Google and Search for Civilization 4 CD Crack and you will find many sites that will offer you one for this issue. SInce Firaxes is not willing to make a Patch this will have to do. Good Luck.

I had a problem with the login in multiplayer. My solution was that Macfee was blocking IRC communication which is used by the game.

HEllo all,

I am using Vista32-Ult. and it works fine here.
Sound is great and with new 22 DellLCD the graphics are WOW!

You might try and run the game in compatible mode.
Right-clik game icon, choose customize then with "Play" highlighted click on the "Edit" button.

Click on the compatibility tab and play around with the settings in there.

Hope this helps.
Vista rocks once ya get use to it.

im getting a directx error when i go to start the game up any ideas what that is?
i go to download the updates needed and it never lets me ive tried 10 times to down load these things and it fails each time called 2k and microsoft and microsoft says i need to talk to 2k and 2k says talk to ms

 

[tirnaog]

Is it vista? If so it might have the security popup blocking it. Alt-tab back to desktop and see. If so click allow and then quit the game. Then restart and it should work fine.
