annoying crashes

sirvijon · 17-04-2009, 12:57

Hi,

my first post here and not in so happy moods

I just bought new computer with vista (intel 9500, 4bg ram, ati 3870x2) and installed civ 4 complete of course. It's fully patched.

But still almost every mod i play it's going to crash somewhere. Even i save game and nex turn it again crashes (game dissapears and vista tells me that program stopped working) i reboot my pc and load game it will crash again in same position.

It's really annoying cos theese crashes r not comming in first rounds but somehere round 1800-1900 in marathong game...so i ruined almost 2 or 3 days gaming.

Does some 1 else had probs like this?

Welcome to CDZ, sirvijon!

What about a standard game, without mod? Does it crash then as well? If not, then the mod is probably broken. And since it occurs around the same in-game time, it's probably has something to do with a tech or unit of that era.

it's not in same year in every game..just somehere far.

I managed to play 1 full gamee in rise of makind mod but second got the crash.

Ihave been downloading something like 10 mods and i think all those aint broken. makind is one of most downloaded mod in civfanatics and i got latest 2.62 version vith all patches.

Crashed also in ingame build afterworld mod witch i like alot.

I havnt played standard game cos it's quite blend after playing so meny fully tweaked mods. gotta try.

No autosave? And do you have similar problems in other computergames or in unmodded civ4 games?

as i said there are saves, but it will crash in same turn every time i load it.

I dont have probs with other games. I think i will reinstall first

I have had some similar problems with a CIV4 mod (fall from heaven 2), but there it only happens when I play one particular civ... And then only when I play on normal speed. Always on the same turn (turn 391). The other civs all function just fine. Haven't found a way to fix it yet

I have a fix for you: Win before Turn 391...;-)
