modern age cant get it

typongtive2 · December 25, 2002, 05:08

Ok, The latest patch for civ3 worked great and i can play for hours and hours with no problems. Now with PTW i can't get to the modern age without the game crashing every single time. I have tried many things, I reinstalled video drivers, and unistalled them, etcetc. I also have the latest updtes for my computer(on everything). I even unistalled ptw and then reinstalled it and did each patch. didnt work. Then just tried it by using the 1.14 patch. I really want to get online and play but why should i if i cant even play a single player game without issues.

Can someone help me please

dont understand: Is it working now with 1.14 or is it not working?
I play only SP until now and installed right away with the patch and have in SP no problems until now...

doh!! it still messes up with the newest patch. I am wondering if i just got a bad disc?

Can you actually start a game with the unpatched version?

If so, how far do you get before it crashes?

You should only need the correct 1.14 patch.

actually it crashes in the first age that you get when i had it un patched

I think you have a BETA copy and not the final version.

I took a look at the BETA (WAREZ) before I bought the game.

I would say you should go out and buy the game like the rest of us.

Thats possible, or it could just be maybe a graphics file for Modern Age thats corrupted/ Did you try reinstalling all of Civ3?

first of all do not assume i have apirated copy. I dont. I payed for it from software etc. wich is also known as babbages.

What OS? If it is XP maybe you could try running the program in a different compatibility mode. I doubt it will help but it is worth a shot.

You may want to contact infogrames tech support they usually give fast replies.
