WinXP and Geforce 3 Ti500 Scroll Problems

XsyK · November 27, 2001, 08:51

i was wondering if anyone else was having problems with the scroll speed of Civ3 while running WinXP prof and Geforce 3 Ti500's. i've got a 1.3 Ghtz Processor so it can't be my comp. does anyone have any solutions. i heard somewhere abt rolling back the driver to detonator >12.83. but i don't want to do this. is there any other method to fix this problem or is this being fixed in the patch?

You have Windows XP so it very well could be your comp.

I have that exact problem.

The scrolling is so bad that the game is unplayable for me - it's back on the shelf until (if) Firaxis releases a patch that fixes this.

I'm running Win2kPro but, like you, I have a GeForce3 - I've seen a fair number of people report problems with the same vid card and this title.

I'm not rolling back to earlier drivers because all the other games I play are quite happy with the 21.83 (or whatever) release.

Sod it!

I have a 1.4GHz Athlon and a Geforce 3 TI500, and the scroll rate is miserable, such that I do not bother scrolling and instead navigate by clicking on the minimap.

I have a NVIDIA TNT2 M64 PCI on AMD 900 MHz and 128MB with Windows 98SE and Linux Mandrake 8.1, and my game play experience is very fast than civilizantion 2 gold ed, civ tot and/or civ CTP I / II.

I'm using NVIDIA drivers v12.41

I have change a register entry on
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CLASSES/DYSPLAY/0001/NVIDIA/DIRECTDRAW/overlaymode
to "2"..

On mode "1" the game is very slow!
