I have WeIRd problem..!!

[MattJek]

Im using an AMD 2.2 G, with 448 RAM and a GeForce4 64MB... the game runs really slow and laggy but borderline playable. WHen I start a game,ut starts slow ( unit movement, map scroll, opening advisor screens) and keeps running slow, doesnt slow down as I progress throught the game with more cities, units etc. ... I have no graphic glitches except for the fact that when I go to my city view, I can only see food icons on the map, no production or trade icons... does anyone else have this problem and is it curable or is this just another one of those glitches that a patch would solve

Anyone have the same problem or a solution to it??????

MattJek - I have the same problem with the hammers and commerce and yes its very weird. I've been searching the threads to see if anyone else has the same problem.

Other than a jerky opening movie the game seemed to be playing fine until I had the settler selected - no hammers or commerce shown on map and same thing happened in the city view screen. Very annoying.

I have a NVIDIA GeForce4MX440 w/ AGP8X. From the threads this sounds like its an acceptable card. (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=135231 and http://www.neeyik.info/3dspecs/). I updated the video drivers after I installed the game and the problem still was there.

I'm going to follow the instructions on here http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=135231 - tonight to see if that fixes the problem - art pack patch, clear game cache, and then the Render error fix (maybe I downloaded drivers and installed in the wrong order).

I'll post if any of those fixes helped.
