Running WinXP, 1.6Ghz Pentium M, NVIDIA GeForce Go5200, 1.5 GB Ram plus 1.2 GB page allocation, DirectX 9c
Installed Civ4 v 1.09 from disc (boxed copy)
Installed 1.61 patch
Now at startup I get the message
Failed to allocate video memory. Please try reducing your graphics settings.
File:\Source\main\Civilization4\SDKs\Gamebryo2_0.. .
Initial installation works fine, but after the patch the game wont start.
I've tried the following (after sifting through innumerable suggestions on various blogs):
-Alter the .ini file (hideMinSpec and fullScreen options)
-Clear the cache files from the user dir
-Install latest video card drivers
-Reinstall game, patch and directx
-Use the UnPack utiltity on the Asset1, Asset2 Asset3 etc files
None of the proposed solutions (anywhere) seem to work - grrr.
Removing entire install and reinstalling the 1.09 version lets me play again... (something slipped thru regression testing me-thinks)
Anyone know of a 'real' solution to this problem?
If not, does anyone know when a patch will come out from Firaxis that would fix this
?
Cheers.
