My issues....

[loduke]

Besides the memory leak, which I don't need to explain, I'm also having the following issues:

1- Tool tips / rollover randomly stops working after new tech advances and/or my city build something and the build orders menu comes up.

2- Related to #1 above - When the tool tip stops working after a tech advance, I can't hit F6 to open the tech tree. It opens for just a second and there is a faint "blip" noise, but then it closes again. All the other function keys work properly at this time. The last time this happened, I tried holding down the F6 key for a few seconds and that kept the tech tree window open..... but completely locked up my system. Reboot!

3- Occasionally when I try to save a game it won't let me change the name of the save file. If I start hitting keys, it applies the keystroke to whatever the currently active unit is, meaning, if I try to save the game as "Frogs", it doesn't type in the letters, but instead as soon as I hit F, the active unit in the game fortifies itself. I have also noticed this issues when trying to rename cities.

Anyone else having these issues? More importantly.... know of any fixes?

Thanks!

Not ideal, but might be a work-around: When they stop working, if you mouse-over the section where the scores for each civ are reported (bottom right), do the tool-tips start working again?

Ainwood,

No, once they stop working, nothing seems to be able to bring them back except finishing out the turn. All I can do is click something in the list or left- click and hold on the title at the top and drag the window around the screen. Usually on the next turn everything is back to normal.

I believe this bug has to do directly with the mouse interface though, because I noticed that when the tooltips stop working, so does my mouse wheel.. in other words, I can't use the wheel to scroll up and down through the list of advancements/units.

I'm using a regular Microsoft mouse, so I'm going to play around with the settings in the control panel to see if anything helps. I'm not holding out a lot of hope because I'm sure it's just an issue in the game, but you never know.

Just wanted to say that I'm experiencing exactly the same issue. The mouse over screens simply stop working.

It's quite annoying and I haven't been able to figure out a fix for it so far

There's a workaround for the mouse problem, but I have the same thing, very annoying, but it hasn't stopped me from putting all my free time these last 2 days into civ IV goodness =>

The workaround - alt-tab out of the game, and go back in to it, the tool tips will immediately start working again.

Unfortunately, there's also a bug where alt-tabbing out adn coming back, in diplomacy screens, which will mis-layer the windows and make it difficult to select your response, so don't alt-tab out to fix the tool-tips when its in the diplomacy screen. Use it at any other time though, like when its asking you to choose a new tech, or for what to build next in a city, etc...

Excellent! I'll try that.
Thanks!
