v1.61 patch error...

[farradaygf]

I've just installed the v1.61 patch and the game won't start.

It shows the "loading" splash screen and dies. I verified with task manager. Civilisation4.exe appares in the task list (along with a _e00**something** process) and after a few seconds dies.

The original worked just fine.

I unistalled and reinstalled the game. Again, the original works fine but after I install the v1.61 patch it won't start up. It is clearly something wrong with the patch.

My machine is an athlon xp 1800+ / 512Mb ddram / GeForce 4200Ti (128Mb) with windows xp (pro) sp2.

I dl-ded the latest forceware from nvidia and I am up to date with ms xp fixies.

Thank you.

I'm having the exact same problem. Game worked fine prior to installation of the 1.61 patch.

Yup mine keeps saying that I failed to allocate video memory when before patch 1.61 I had mine running perfectly fine.

Well, anyone?

Firaxis doesn't seem to answer on this problem...

Same here. I don't see why it is not working.
