What Kind of System are you running Civ IV on?

[bky1701]

Intel Pentium 4 530 processor (3.2(?) GHz)
Double layer DVD RW 8x speed + CD RW 48x speed
512 MB Memory
Windows XP
A GeForce 6600 PCI express video card


No problems at all, I have been running it at the highest mode possible (other then resolution, that is at 1024x768 since text is hard to read at bigger).

 

[Adam7Eight]

Athlon64 3400+
ASUS K8V SE Deluxe
1GB PC3200 DDR Corsair XMS RAM
GeForce 6800 Ultra
Creative SB Audigy 2
Windows XP (SP2)
Everything is maxed at 1280x1024.

Runs like a champ.

 

[DeathsHead]

AMD Athlon 1.53Ghz
512 meg Ram
128meg ATI Radeon 9550
some sort of onboard dolby digital surround sound
1024x768 resolution

Once I got it to launch, the game runs very smoothly. May even try upping the resolution to see where it starts to get choppy.

My game machine bought farm. So running it on 1.8 GHz P4, .75 G of slowboat RAM, Radeon 9600 Pro, and so forth. I am the recommended spec example! Game runs fine, looks fine, no problems of any sort.

Notes:
Got the game going by using PakBuild fix.
Played epic on huge map only.
Runs smoothly up to industrial age then it's time to
quicksave each turn because the famous "crash to desktop"
feature of the game. Takes 30 secs to start game again and
load quicksave. I'm becoming really good at clicking the menus

Game DOES NOT run fine and I am curious how long the folks posting it runs smoothly for them have been playing. On my rig, it runs very well for a while, but towards late game it becomes very slow. This would appear to be a memory leak as exiting and reloading the game restores performance. It is unlikely this sort of bug is hardware specific.

A hardware-specific bug I am experiencing is corrupted graphics on the mini-map and on the main screen when most-zoomed-out. Also, the sound on the wonder movies is often corrupted.

Barton 2500+ @ 3200
Asus A7N8X-E
2 Gig RAM (was 512 - I upgraded just now)
9800SE (unlocked and OC'd so its basically a pro)

Note: My Aopen 50x CD Rom would not read the install media. I pulled a DVD-Rom out of another box to get it to install - if you get some kind of 6005 error on installation try another CD-ROM (damn copy protection).

4 Gig and you're still getting this?! That's a memory leak. Hopefully they'll get that plugged and a patch will come out.

2 systems

1. P4 1.5 ghz dell
512 Ram
radeaon 8500

2. HP laptop 2.8ghz
630 ram
radeon 9000 mobility

Both run the game flawlessly. system1 i run on med setttings and system 2 i run on high. No lag on either on huge maps with 7 opponents.


One caveat though, when I shut down after 5+ hours playing, windows tells me I am out of memory when i get back to windows. There is some memorly leak, but not too bad (at least for me).

Thought I posted on this one already but I guess not.

866mhz- P3
512 sd ram
128mg Geforce 5700 le- graphics card
Creative lab-s sound card
XP pro- OS
I have played on Standard maps, medium graphics settings on lowest Res (1024x768 I think is the setting) I have no lag on early years, a little lag in latter years. I turned off the Wonder movies they were a little choppy. I am extremely happy with how well it runs on my system. Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I haven't experienced one lock up or crash yet!

900 mhz cpu

Running on medium settings.
Unit animations can be laggy/jerky, auto-map scrolling between turns is not so good. Otherwise, the game runs fine, though I must admit that I have not yet gotten to industrial/modern times in my first game.
