I also have the same problem, bread only.
- also, the wonders movies lock up the game... they worked perfectly immediately after install, but after shutting down the computer and restarting, the movies kick me to desktop everytime.
PS
Great quality testing Firaxis. I'm sure glad you don't produce tires or cars.

Same here - I have a geforce 2.
I tried the latest drivers that still support my card (so not the latest forceware
), and after that the omega drivers. The problem remains.
What's more is that every few turns graphics get messed up really bad and the units, interface and screens start "flashing" (continuously disappearing and reappearing). It looks different from time to time, but involves things like trees becoming white, culture colors all over the place, illegible text and wrong icons being displayed. What triggers it is also variable, but mostly seems to be things that take you away from the playing field like wonder movies, new techs and diplomacy.
When I restart the game I can play my next few turns before it's back again...
edit: Another minor issue is that I can also see floodplains in unexplored land.

Have the same problem with a ati 7500 mobility (latest drivers; Art0.fpk trick done; agp set to enable) - have additionally WHITE terrain, BLACK ocean, resources and woods are o.k. as well as units
I have two friends with a GF 440 with the same problem; makes 4 PC of 5 in my neighbourhood BUGGED
man it sucks really - I wouldn´t complain if the gameplay wasn´t this good- but knowing to have a SUPER game and not able to play it is just

I wonder... Could someone make a mod to fix the city's interface? That might solve the problem.
I'm curious if any GeForce 2, 3, or 4 MX people (or whatever else people have said have this bug) on here do not have this problem at all; if so, it'd be nice to know their secret, maybe it could lead to a solution. If everyone w/ these cards has a problem, then we'll just have to wait for Firaxis/Take 2 to fix it, hopefully 
.
Of course I'm probably just dreaming cuz the people who don't have this problem w/ these graphics cards won't be looking here; meh.

This is one of a few bugs I've seen in almost a week of play. I, too, am using a GeForce4 MX 420.
Here are some other problems I have seen; I wonder if they are common to everyone here:
-I have had crashes on wonders videos very rarely, but I'm loathe to turn the videos off as they're so outstanding.
-Unexplored territory is visible where the map wraps around until you move directly over the unexplored territory, at which point it blacks out properly.
-Floodplains and the river next to them are visible through the fog of war.
In addition, I seem to have been given mislabeled discs; the install disc is actually the play disc, and vice-versa.

Same Problem -
GeForce 4 MX 440 (64MB)
P4 - 2.8 GHz, 1024 RAM
ABSOLUTELY no other problems - everything else is PERFECT. Game runs extremely smooth - no stuttering, crashing or anything.

Nearly identical problems, although I haven't crashed (yet).
Windows XP SP2
Toshiba Satellite 5105-S501
GeForce4 440 GO (32MB)
NVIDIA Drivers 7.2.1.4
BTW, here are screenshot of the unexplored floodplain visability bug and the map-wrap bug. (The map-wrap is in tutorial mode, but it happens also in normal games). Also note that the map-wrap bug does not occur while in fully zoomed out world-view mode.

I have this problem too and it's so very annoying!
It's impossible to see what tiles are producing what when I'm in the city view. ARGHHHHH!!
NVIDIA Geforce4 MX 440, btw.

I have a NVIDIA GeForce4MX440 w/AGP8x. I think that's also with only 64MB.
same problems - only see food and floodplains/rivers are seen through fog of war. Food problem is so not fun to play the game. Opening movie jumps graphics and sound, havn't built a wonder yet, keep trying different things to make the only food display work.
I downloaded the new NVIDIA driver. Other posts say to update motherboard and sound drivers as well. Has anyone resolved the only food problem though drivers or changing options?
Looks like our only options are to wait for a patch or buy a better graphics card.

Try going into Control Panel>Display>Settings>Advanced. You'll see a tab there labeled SmartGart. Turn your ARP speed off. Reboot your machine, go back to the ARP settings, turn it back up to 1, reboot again, turn ARP up to 2. Someone has reported that doing it this way fixes the black terrain problem for him. If you just turn off the ARP, it fixes it but your game will run very slowly. Turning it back up to 2 will make it run faster, though not as fast as it should be. Anything over 2 apparently brings back the black terrain.

This thread is quickly becoming one of the larger ones!!!(Over 50 unique complaints so far)
How do we get the attention of the technical gurus over at Firaxis/Take2?? If we do in fact have to wait for some sort of patch it would be nice to know. If it is possible to fix it would be nice to know. If it is not possible to fix it would be nice to know. The moral of the story is: some official word would be nice to know.
Someone help us poor hammer-and-commerce-deprived souls!
