has anyone already complained about this?!
I have a weird problem that hopefully(for my sake) is not unique to me and, therefore may be addressed in the patch...
I have owned CivIII since the first week it came out. Have played it to completion AT LEAST seven times. It's run very smoothly for me and I enjoy it a lot.
I was playing it on my system with these specs.
Pentium III 933mhz
20GB
256MB
GeForce3
Windows 98 SE (and this may be the important part...)
Well, I decided to buy the 99$ upgrade to WinXP. It has been terrific. Everything is pretty awesome on it EXCEPT CivIII! I just discovered this because I haven't played it in three or four days...
Every move you make there's a two or three second lag delay. Tell a settler to move along a road and the first of the three moves L A G S and then he moves the last two fine. Skip to a spearman or worker and tell him what to do. L A G for a couple seconds and the he does whatever. Decide to zoom to city to change production...SAME THING!
So I minimize the game to check resource usage and catch the PC at 94 % usage. For just a second. And then it drops back to a much more typical 6%...
I cant find my box. Is WinXP supported? Has anyone else had a similar problem? The game is unplayable in this state. I'm not going back to 98SE for any game either. Im not much of a techie...HEEELP! It did NOT use to do this on 98SE!

Hello? Did you mean to post this question in one of the fifty threads dealing with the topic? That bus left about ten days ago.

Huh? I know you're being sarcastic but c'mon... I need help here. I only read the general forum and I haven't need ed any help with the game from a tech support standpoint...until now...
This is an existing problem...? Where can I read more about it?

I think its rude to tell people that they should use the search function. Nevertheless Archmage, you might want to do that.
BTW, have you ever driven a Mirak drone frigate. I seem to remember an Archmage and Khan.

Gah. That's like a hungry man in a deli asking where he can get something to eat. Go to the Help forum and look near the top.
