no range animation in Civ 5 G&K

[taulph88]

Everytime my city, a barbarian, or my ranged units do ranged attacks, there is no ranged animation for it. I am using patch 1.0.1.75. It did not happen with 1.0.1.674.

Did you enable quick combat when you set up the game?

 

[taulph88]

No, that option is unchecked. I see the archers doing their animations, but it looks like they're shooting invisible arrows and they keep doing that continuously until the game resolves the loop and moves on showing damage results. And the receiving unit just stands there, not in defensive position.

I suspect it's a bug from one of the files when I applied this patch.

 

[timtofly]

Or a corruted file more than likely?

 

[taulph88]

Yes. But I wish I knew what file deals with these unit animations.

It's frustrating that while the perpetual loop happens, I can't move on to another unit or do anything else until the game resolves it.

I read elsewhere it could have something to do with texture video settings, but even by increasing that nothing happens.

Every time I try to attack something with my ranged units or cities, there's no animation, the targets just sit there and change when the attack's over, and the unit just prepare the attack (example: archers only raise their bows). What do I do?

This is on version 1.0.1.705.

What graphics card do you guys have, and are the latest updates for it installed?

 

[Latias4Ever]

I have Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT, I installed the expansion yesterday, but before I did it, the ranged animations worked perfectly, I'm not sure if it's something I did wrong with the installation, or my graphics card isn't enough anymore, but the rest works perfectly.

 

[The_J]

That one should be enough. Are the drivers up to date?

 

[Latias4Ever]

Yes, everything's updated. I find it odd how it's just the ranged animations, other combat animations work perfectly, and the units being attacked just stand there, some disappearing after the attack's over if enough health's depleted, and not dying like they should. Archers also keep firing their bows, instead of just firing once or twice.

Perhaps an update I installed corrupted a file and made this happen? This never happened when I had Civ V without any expansions or updates...

Any help? Please?

Any help? Please?

Are you using a Mac? The reason I ask is that the latest version for PCs is 1.0.2.21 and you said you had version 1.0.1.705

 

[Latias4Ever]

No, I'm using a PC, I guess I should get that update, might work.
