Hmm... Ok, I will check original source for given offset (thanks, it really helps), and see what may be causing it.
So far 'insane_mode = 1' may cause it, try setting '0' if you didn't try that yet.

i' ve also the same problem but i don't have an ati graphic card, but an nvidia fx 5600.....Wallabulla said:can't use this patch, getting this errormessage:

A recent user-created utility program by Harkonnen dramatically increase the speed of the game and reduces the amount of crashes. This fix proves that Firaxis released a game with a large memory leak and has thus far been unwilling to fix it. The patch is available to download at [7] and Harkonnen has spent hundreds of hours in the associated thread helping users of his patch be able to play the game.

I hope firaxis will read it and be embarrased.
My weird keyboard bug btw just went away on its own, I assume it was just a freak glitch!
I have a duel CPU's but it seems only runs half speed with civ4 (50%). Probably the only advantage running civ4 with a duel CPU (and 2GB of ram) is I don't have to worry about having something running in the background. For example, I can both play Civ4 and have my anti-virus scan my PC at the same time.OneFootInThe... said:What I wanted to ask is if anyone has made any tests with CPU power. It is obvious that faster clock is better, but what are the effects of dual core CPU's on the game speed?
kettyo said:1Gig systems do benefit from insane mode because it gets rid of swapping very effectively. So 1GB RAM computers might not crash even without insane mode but will be a lot faster scrolling through the map without swapping with insane on.
For instance your save do swaps in my 1Gig system without insane and not with insane (and proper vidmem setting)
