Transition trouble -- Ancient to Medieval Era

[derdriux]

Has this been a problem for anyone else?

Civ3 ran just fine on my HP Pavilion Pentium III/Windows ME system until (first game) my Civ made the jump from Ancient to Middle Ages. Then it gave an error message and crashed (fairly cleanly, though it did leave the desktop set up for 800 X 600 whilst actually in 1024x768 (16-color).

This doesn't strike me as likely to be a display or driver issue, am I right? (Anything's possible though).

FWIW, in the game as played I had all Ancient techs except for Monarchy.

Regards,

Brett

Not fifteen minutes ago, i had the very same thing happen. I have no answers for you, though

Are you running a similar system?

What I'm doing now to try to troubleshoot is running a selective boot-up (all tray items disabled) -- am nearly at a point where I can see how the transition goes (with a save game much nearer the transition point to make things more efficient).

I'll post more if I learn anything. Thanks for letting me know I am not alone on this one.
