@Noob

Try to copy and paste the phrase it says to you on Google and search solutions for it.

You're running Windows 8 right? I have no knowledge on windows 8, and IMO it sucks a lot, so I may not be the best to help you. Google will surely give you an answer.


BTW, how did you reset to factory settings? You formatted your pc?

@Caterpillar
Transfering thorugh an external device won't work, probably. When you install civ it installs some files on other folders that you don't know. These files are responsible for making the game run appropriately and most importantly tell windows that this program is actually installed. You may try this because maybe when you try to run the game, it'll tell you which files are missing and from where. Getting their names you may search on google for them and download them at will (for dlls for example there is a dll site with all known dlls to download).

I've decided to give up on downloading Civ

 

[CaterpillarKing]

Actually! If you can get steam on your computer you can get the steam version of civ 4 by contactic 2K. I can link you to it. I got it because they took down the gamespy servers thus I couldn't play multiplayer, but I contact 2K and after waiting and such they gave me a code to use on steam.

 

[TheNoob]

Send me that link

Make sure to say under the pretenses that you want to play multiplayer. That's what I said.

I have to share this with you guys.
It's so funny, and so damn real.

 

[baseballpie]

That is hilarious

Link to video.

Trying to expand what I listen to these days, anyone else have anything good?

 

[TheNoob]

Guess who finally is installing Civ successfully!

 

[trexeric]

Pythagoras?

 

[TheNoob]

Currently it has been updating DirectX Runtime Components for 16 minutes now

 

[TheNoob]

Nevermind, the installation is taking place

 

[Manuss]

It will crash at 99% progress. MWHWAHAHAHAHAHAH!
...
I'm sorry...

 

[CaterpillarKing]

That's happened to me

 

[TheNoob]

It is successfully installed; I just need to reinstall DoC

 

[TheNoob]

Well guess I still cannot play DoC

I cannot find a way to add mods that work because for some reason the games downloaded onto some weird "Games" section of my computer that I cannot seem to find in my files.

 

[Manuss]

Should be in the Documents folder...?

 

[CaterpillarKing]

Should also be in program files. Under Firaxis.

It's lonely in the chat;_;

So, i got some questions about English because we just had an exam (I'm the level of KET). So here there are:
1: question in the exam: "We had to write a story for our English class, don't ....?". Is it "we"? I'm 99% sure its' we but something tells me I'm wrong.

2: question in the exam: The exercise class is in the sports club witch is in the same .... as Jane's school.

A: ground

B:Street​

C: Path​

Is it path or street? I think it's street, but i'm unsure.
