Okay, I literary got a headache trying to figure out why the game crashes so much.
I literary found this by total accident (could not have been a more random discovery!!!). I had removed my graphics mod files from Civ3, PTW, and C3C from one computer but not from the other one for some reason. Gogf, suggested that I try something that wasnt even related to anything involving graphics files. I tried his suggestion on the computer that had the original files and the game did not crash. (Hehe, I didnt know this but after when it was supposed to crash, I had built the Pyramids.) I told myself that Gogfs suggestion was the solution. What I did next was add back the graphics mod files to Civ3, PTW, and C3C. When I started the game, it crashed (again, before I built the Pyramids). I tested it out a few times with the new and original graphics and it kept crashing with the new ones. I figured that I should leave the other new graphics mods in the game folders and only replace the Wonder Splash folder. When I did this, I was surprised to find that the game did not crash. Then I knew that there was something with the new Wonder Splashes.
I came here and to my surprise the first thing I see a person say that the game crashes. Man, I was relieved!
Now, when will the fixed Wonder Splashes come out? We still love them, you know!
Sirleyrocks, if you are unable to fix this, then, possibly someone else can take over (someone with a different graphics program?).
But if you can fix them, please update us.
