,My system eats Civ IV for breakfast normally, no problems with graphics, memory, anything else at all, usually. I patched to 1.61 and suddenly I'm getting CTDs in industrial and later - and when attempting to load a save from several turns back, it does the same thing. Clean reinstall/repatch did not help. In general,
In game: complete a turn. Just when the processor comes back to your turn, the screen blanks out and CTD, the usual "send error report" box. No info in details.
On load: the little status/tips screen gets right up to "finishing," acts like it's going to go to the game per normal, then CTD as above.
No other errors or any details available.
No mods, no custom assets, pure vanilla. It started happening with SmartMap, but I dumped that like a hot rock first thing.
I auto-clear cache.
System is running cool including GPU per advice posted in other threads. Memory use averages 13% and does not seem to go up as the game progresses.
AMD Athlon 3400+, 991MHz, 1.43 G RAM, Nvidia GeForce 6150 256K onboard. The game positively flies on all zooms, all graphics, never slows down; movies, sound, all good.
Help? I've played part of 4 games as America in the last 2 days and would like to finish one! I just don't get it - it acts like a program error rather than a graphics problem, but I can't figure it out.
