having a major problem, after about 20min the game just stops and i have to reboot, i have the patch 1.52 but that didn't help. I have installed and uninstalled many times as well and with no results.
Specs:
AMD 64 3500+
A8V Motherboard
PNY Verto with NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra 128
512 RAM
Windows XP Pro (SP 2)

What can I do???
 
Kak

When you uninstalled, did you purge the PC completely, by manually checking that the game directories were deleted after add/remove, and deleted the hidden directory with the cache files ?

In response to your PM

A full purge of Civ IV so you can do a clean install with no bits left from a prior install (cache files are in the bolded directory, they sometimes get left behind after add/remove, just make sure u got "show hidden files" switched on, and if they there, zap that directory, if they gone - thats fine)

Download Patch V1.52 (or move it out of the game directory if you already downloaded via the game interface) via

http://www.2kgames.com/civ4/downloads.htm

Before Patching
Windows add/remove in control panel remove Civ - success or failed do the following

Delete the Civ IV Directories in:

- Programs/Firaxis
- My Documents / My Games
- C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\My Games\Civilization IV\ Its a hidden directory if not seen just check you have "show hidden files" switched on

- Delete Windows/Temp files
- Delete Browser Temp files

Load from discs
Load Patch V1.52 (This is very very important, its a must have Patch, stay with it, not using it will only mask the true issues as life proceeds)

I didn't work, it helped a little, the game runs a little longer before it freezes but other than that no changes.

What next??
