WHen World wonder video starts... game crashes

[Kewian]

I played or tried to play the game today and 4 times and always when a wonder is completed it has crashed the game. I was wondering if they are working on this or if anyone else has this complaint?

If you don't mind not seeing the wonders, then you can disable the video playback in the options menu.

Yep this happened to me too. I noticed it only happened in the late-game when the game starts to lag a bit. So these days I play the game with the movie option turned off.

I couldn't run the videos without crashing, before I got a new gfx card & more ram.
You will just have to disable videos in the options, also I would recomend doing the usual things to try and increase your pc performance.

Obsolutely right!!! When I play Any CIV4 Games (Vanilla, Warlords or BtS) on my laptop ( 2.8GHZ, upgraded to 2GB Ram BUT ONLY 32MB Video Ram) I have to turn off the Videos and then go to Low Resolution/Detail to play the game. And still every now and then I get an error message that says there is not enough video memory.

So if you have the video on, try turning them off in the Options Menu. If they are off, try turning down the graphics details.

Thank you. I finally realized..duh turn them off. I have 2 gb ram and geforce 6150le card..plays sims2 and all eps with the fancy graphic options turned up... that was the only issue I have had so far with BTS.. I just got it. I love the videos but if I have to do it to play so be it. Otherwise the game runs beautifully.
