  • What Happened to Shaka?

    So I started playing a game of Civ on my wife's computer, and met our old "friend" Shaka Zulu. The thing is, his head's messed up! What happened to his Zulu headband-thingie?

    She's got patch Warlords patch 2.08 installed, but I don't believe that this was one of the patch fixes.

    Does anybody know what the deal is? Maybe I'm missing something.

    Attached: Weird Shaka Image. Notice that his icon still has the head thingie.

      He's being polite and taking his hat off in front of a lady. You said it was your wife's computer after all.

        It is the dry season so he doesn't need his shower cap.

          Does anybody know why the game would do this?

                Well, that's what I thought when I SAW IT ON THE SCREEN.
                Which is why I came here for help.

                  Your wife has altered the Shaka leaderhead on her computer in order to convice you that there's malicious Firaxis-led conspiracy bent on removing the hats of and shaving the heads of all the world's leaders . She's hoping you will be so distracted tracking down this nefarious group that you won't notice her spending all the family's hard-earned money on designer purses...

                  No. Sorry. That's something my girlfriend would do. My mistake.

                      Maybe (and this is pure conjecture) your video card ran out of memory for sprites. It loaded the sprites for Shaka's head and successfully rendered them, but when it tried to render the hat it ran out of memory and so it didn't display it. Restarting the game would flush everything out of the video card so the problem wouldn't reproduce.

                      How much video memory do you have?
