Yield display only shows food

Ok. The patch reveals hammers and coins and displays bread correctly, but now intro movie stutters a lot. It was just sound which was annoying before and now both sound and video stutters badly. On the other hand I haven't had chance to watch any wonder movie - I hope they are not affected... Either way, to see hammers and coins without movies is better than watching perfect movies and those irritating two bread peaces everywhere... Does anyone has the same problem? :)
 
Fixed mine, too! WooHooo!

Try setting the BinkNoSkip option in the Config file to '1'. That should stop the stuttering, but might put a bit more strain on the system. It fixed my stuttering videos problem without any noticeable sideeffects though. :)

I had a total system crash on a wonder movie...I reloaded the game, completed the wonder again and it worked fine the second time... I never had a crash on wonder movie before the patch
 
Patch fixed the yield display for me too - GeForce 4MX 440. Game seems to be slightly slower for me post-patch, and the intro movie stutters. Pre-patch there was almost no stuttering, the stuttering was negligible if there was any. Well, at least I can skip the intro movie :) Yay for hammers and coins.

[conspiracy theory]What if they disabled the hammers and coins deliberately for some people so that we'd appreciate the hammers more? :hmm:[/conspiracy theory] :joke:
 
If you set the resolution of the game to 1024 x 768 the Intro movie works perfectly, and if you set it 1152 x 864, they run ok, but stutter somewhat. The movies worked fine for me when I installed the patch and cleared the cache, but I set my resolution to 1200 x 1024 And the movies stuttered badly the next time I Played. I tried all the changes that were recommended by firaxis, I set the binks to 16 bit, set it so that it skips frames, and other things, and it still stuttered. It wasn't until I started lowering the resolution, that the movies worked.

I also got the hammers and coins to display.
 
Patch fixed the hammers/coins for me too. It also fixed the intro movie and wonder movie stuttering.

I still have the floodplains bug.

New problem is that sometimes wonder movies were crashing the game - complete CTD and it disrupted my windows display settings (i.e. changed the resolution of my display to 800x600 16bit color - and I was in 1024x768 32 bit color before starting Civ). I had to reboot. I updated drivers to 81.94 and this hasn't happened again - but I will have to play some more to see if it happens. I will update if it does.
 
I have the current patch for Beyond the Sword, but I dont have any patches for Civ4, because I reinstalled the whole thing. I can only see Toast, no Hammers. I'm hoping the patch for Civ4 solves my problem.

By the way, pathing from inside the Civ program seems to suck. I have to download it from the net and then apply the patch.
