RuntimeError: Access violation - no RTTI data!

[ingvild]

Hi,

When I start the game, the window get smaller (about 1/4 of the screen) on the bottom right, saying "DONE" (after doing all the loading), and then nothing else happens. I have to goto task manager and kill the program.

I tried turning off full screen in Civilization4.ini, but then only a white window showed up. I also tried turning on debugging, and when I started the game the error message said:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "CvScreensInterface", line 63, in showMainInterface

File "CvMainInterface", line 231, in interfaceScreen

RuntimeError: Access violation - no RTTI data!
ERR: Python function showMainInterface failed, module CvScreensInterface

I could hear the Civ4-background music in both cases, and when I pressed some random buttons and moved the mouse, it appeared as if I was in the game (the mouse-pointer changed into a icon like the one that appear when you are to type in a name when I had the mouse in the middle of the screen), but I just couldn't see what was happening. Anyone know how to fix this?

Had exactly the same problem. Only the message did not appear untill I changed to config file to enable the logging system and show me Python errors.

I have tried the following:
- installing win xp sp2
- doing the PAK fix
- deleting the cache
- running it win2000 mode (gives me the DVD location bug)
- running it 800x600 mode

I have the minimal requirements on my laptop,
I do have an ATI radeon 9000 which should be supported

I'm clueless of what's wrong with it
