I did a search for this (graphic corruption/display corruption) and didn't really see anything, so if it's been discussed somewhere and I missed it, please point me in that direction.
OK so with civ4 once in a while (1 out of 10 times I played the game?) where it would be playing fine then boom the display would turn into big rainbow colored bricks, and become unresponsive. Nothing else would happen, then a minute later the sound would finally die and I'd have to reset the computer with the reset button.
I just bought and installed warlords (and patched the game to 1.61 right before installing warlords), and it does it 100% of the time now, within 10 minutes of starting a game.
No other games do this (WoW or Autoassault or BF2) and the display corruption is affecting both of my monitors (run off of teh same card).
Anyone have any ideas about how to fix this? I've turned down my graphics levels to medium but it still happens.
