I am battling with Civ BtS over a month now, and I still simply cannot play it. While playing vanilla Civ with 1gb memory, I was able to run mods, override map sizes, and so on - and altough it worked slow, it worked nonetheless. But with BtS, the pleasure has turned into real pain...
At the beginning, remembering how difficult it was to play 160x160 maps (5 minute waiting for the next round at the modern eras), I have increased memory to 2gb, and started the game. Modded and oversized. All was well till about 0 AD - when I ceased to be able to load the game. Each time progress bar hit the end, I heard a sound like a unit was just fortified, and then, CTD occured. No error in logs whatsoever. I started new game, on normal sized map, modded - again, around 0 ad, I got myself into premature game over state (both cases, game was smooth, I haven't noticed a single problem). So I finally installed a 3.13 patch - and then a real fun started. I simply cannot start ANY game - modded or not, oversized or not. Unofficial 3.13 changed nothing.
So i dropped Civ for now, because I actually want to finish a game from time to time, not just end it by being kicked out due to some technicalities/bugs. I will be really grateful if anyone of you weterans can solve this problem.
PS - am I wrong thinking that turning Civ into a 3D-graphic game is a reason for 90% of problems it causes?
