Right now I have the impression that "1.27f" means 1.27 f*ckd. A more appropiate name would have been "1.27 Stuck", but who I am to say such things but a frustrated civ-addict?

After loading I just go for 3 turns, and when its the computer's turn it just gets stuck. i get the clock pointer, and "please wait" but i cant clic on anything. Pressing ctrl+alt+del, it says "not responding", and CPU usage 100%. But i cant understand that, because my system has more than enough for the basic requirements.

At times i also got strange screen moves. Like, in a split of a sec, i would see all the cities. So.. maybe the game is bugged or my computer is crazy, or its the disc's scratches, which cant be cuz while you are playing, the cd is not on the read. And before you ask, no, it's not a pirated disc! At another time.. my settings wouldnt save.

I installed 1.21f, but then it froze after 5 opponent turns. I installed 1.27 and then it froze to the 1st opponent turn. I reinstalled and rebooted half a dozen times.

Anyone out there who might know how to fix this? :)
 
Well try this:

1. Uninstall all Civ3 Patches (from Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel
2. Uninstall PtW (also from Add/Remove Programs)
3. Uninstall Civ3
Delete the Civilization III folder (after backing up any files you want to keep)
4. Install Civ3
5. Install PtW
6. Install Patch 1.27f

If that doesn't help, try deactivating all other running programs.


It's not a problem with the game, it's a problem with your computer or the installation for sure :)
