Fix-It List

after installing the game on my computer i tried playing in a mltiplayer game and it made me install v 1.74. after installing that onto my coputer it tells me that component D3d=DX9_32.DLL is unable to be found.
 
I tried moving to the lowest resolution but that didn't help. I enabled the logging to debug my problem and this is what my INIT file shows

Welcome to CFC :)

what exactly is the problem?
 
I installed the game and everything seems to work fine. but when I try to start it up a Loading screen comes up and then freezes. After a couple of minutes an error report comes up and it closes. I haven't gotten it to start up at all. I got the game from my brother and it worked fine on his computer but it doesn't work on mine. I ran the DXDIAG and everything seems fine from that end. My computer is capable of running the program but it won't.
 
what error report? is it a windows popup asking you to send a report to microsoft?
if yes, please click on show report and post the upper part of it (the one that is only three or four lines long and contains such things like "App version" and some numers and file names).
If not please post a screenshot or the text of this error report.
 
It is difficult to get to the root of it if it is not recurring :)
IF it happens again, please take a screenshot of any error message and post as much Info as possible on how it occurred. Best would be a new thread in this subforum (these long stickied threads are a pain to take track of) - there are only few people who regularly look at the Tech Support forum so sometimes a reply will take a couple days...

What I did notice recently was that the Page File Usage (finally figured out where it is) slowly accumulated over time. A few days ago it was using around 987 MB, then just yesterday it was at 1.07-1.08 GB. Why is this happening?

Windows does not regularly clean out the page file - basically it reserves space of the size of about twice your RAM and writes any temporary files that do not have space in the RAM into the page file, only when it starts getting to the limit it will delete stuff from there (unless you set it to delete the page file on startup - but that may increase load times of often used programs) - so an slowly increasing page file is not usually something to worry about. If you want to have more control over it you can delve into the Windows settings though.
Did you have any more crashes?
 
Right, when I close Civ4, it plunges significantly so there's nothing wrong with my PF usage that needs to be fixing. No worry about that.

What I meant to say, is that will this huge PF usage stay whenever I start up Civ4? Or is it the specific game I'm playing?

2. If I start a brand new game, the PF usage wouldn't start up so high would it?

Did you have any more crashes?

Nope. I'm thinking that the first crash was just a warning for me to know that the current scenario I'm playing is eating up my PF. Weeks ago, when I first started playing this scenario, I had only AIM running and had no problems.

Civ4 uses huge amounts of memory - on huge maps and/or some mods it can approach (and burst) the Windows limit of 2 GB of memory per application - if you do not have that in RAM Windows will need to page some or most of this data out to its page file - so you will likely have such a large page file usage with Civ4 unless you install more physical memory.
Page file usage in Windows (actually in most operating systems in one way or another) defaults to the following behavior:
it will try to keep as much data that was paged into the page file during the same session as possible - this is done since it anticipates that you might need this information again. It should clear some of this when you restart the computer, but apart from this it will not clear all of it just because you restarted the game. It will clear some of it though, but Civ4 is not too good in telling Windows what is unnecessary so this won't be a whole lot.
In summary:
I would expect your page file to stay pretty big in every case...
 
Ok, well I decided to do a test, so I started a brand new game-noticed the PF was way low.

Over time it increases, I guess. :( This stinks.
 
i bought and installed Sid Meier's Civilization IV Gold Edition and when i try to install the latest patch for it, it tells me:

The setup has detected that no version of Sid Meier's Civilization 4 is installed.

This update requires that a previous version of the application be installed.

how do i get the patch to install?
 
I am constantly getting a problem with Civilization 4 popping an error message up usually after a sudden move of the screen(like going out of a city). The error message reads:

(failed to allocate video memory. Please try reducing your graphics settings.) Then it has the file:\Source\main\Civilization4\SDKs\Gamebryo2_0\CoreLibs\NiDX9Renderer\NiDX9VBManager.cpp, line:1019 crap.

As shown in the log below, it has this error on different lines including: 1019, 314, (565 this one is rare), and 170. This is 1/50 of the app log showing that it was out of VRAM. I noticed in the game that certain textures turned black. The scouts textures actually turned black and some furry animals on the playing area were this way also. I have a Radeon Mobility X1400 graphics card with the latest Omega drivers on on it. The drivers from the manufacturer did it this way also. I have a 6400/E1505 Dell laptop. I have the latest drivers for directx and I have 1GB RAM with 1.5GB of virtual memory. I can't play the game because it even does this on the smallest map and I haven't even built my first city yet! Sometimes it gets a little farther, but not to much at all. When I turn off the (no memory allocation) warning all the textures eventually start to disappear and it crashes to the desktop and it then says it couldn't read memory or something like that.

It goes on forever after this! The whole app log is 1mb big! I should have enough virtual memory and I wouldn't think it would be the laptop heating up because it does this right after I go into a map.

I am using the Civilization core game or in another word "vanilla."
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I also get a runtime error after I get the memory allocation warning if it is turned on. I also get python errors saying:

File "CvScreensInterface", line 598, in forceScreenRedraw

File "CvMainInterface", line 668, in redraw

File "CvMainInterface", line 969, in updatePlotListButtons

RuntimeError: unidentifiable C++ exception

Traceback (most recent call last):

It keeps on doing the same thing after that. Thanks for reading!
 
Also, be very aware of your startup resolution setting! This can cause 'Failure to Initialize' errors if it is not valid for your current card+monitor.[/QUOTE]

Apologies if this is obvious, but how do you resolve this problem?

you can set your resolution in the civilizationIV.ini before starting the game.
 
I downloaded Civ 4 and both expansions over Steam last night, and they're fully installed. When I try to start up Civ 4, the load popup appears but freezes at Init File Catalog. When I try to run either of the expansions, nothing happens at all. I can't play my Christmas present, help!
