I've spent now a few hours looking for information on setting the Refresh Rate for Civ IV under Vista.
I've looked:
- here (civfanaticscom)
- apolyton.net
- nvidia.com
- microsoft.com
- firaxis.com
- 2kgames.com
and even 'googled' various combinations of civilizationiv.ini, refresh rate, Vista, Civ IV, .ini settings, command line, etc, etc, etc
I've had no luck.
Sadly it looks like I will not be able to play Civ IV under Vista, as the game defaults to a headache inducing 60 Hz refresh rate on my CRT. I can't force refresh rates for 3D applications with my video drivers. I can't force an override of the refresh rate used by DirectDraw apps with the dxdiag for DirectX 10.
My only solutions so far:
- go look for a copy of DX Tweaker and use that to force Civ IV to use a refresh rate of my choice (I came here first in case I'm overlooking something)
- play in windowed mode, but then I lose map edge scrolling
Help me Civ Fanwan Ticsobi! Yer my only (well... second last) hope.
