Load prob in win98

[Acex]

Wondering if somebody can help me out here.

I start a new game, huge map and everything is fine. Save/load is working fine, then when i hit around year 0, having 10-25 cities I can still load and save. Unless I quit civ3 completly and then restart it. Then the load dies at 57%, all the time.

I´ve tried...

Restart
Reinstall
New nvidea drivers
New DirectX
New Patch f116

My comp is a 900 thunderbird with 256mb ram and a geforce2, so that shouldn't be the problem.

Well... Problem solved.

I've used the no-cd-crack and it works, even the thought to be lost save games. Did another thing aswell added something to an ini-file, read it somewhere can't remember where though?

Anyway When I load now, the task manager says "program isn't responding", but if I wait 30 sec, it loads anyway

I've had the exact same problem with xp, but can't run the no cd crack I downloaded from gamecopyworld. it says the format is unknown or damaged. Do I need to reinstall the game for it to work, or is it more complecated than that. Glad to hear someone has overcome this problem that is driving me nuts.
-strange.

To get the no-cd-crack to work you´ll have to install the v1.16patch first, then the crack.

The crack can be found if you look under civilization 3...
