v1.00 BUG Reports

[kcmurphy88]

The lack of a truly random seed is a bug.

by the way, i started a game, even though i have the black-as-night terrain bug and played a few turns. initially i could only see my country when i went into the satellite view more but after a while just a very few tiles were displayed in the bottom half and quite some time later even more. now actually most of the screen is ok, except that either the sea or the land tiles are shown (the other turns black).

but through that i get a bug which seems to be a pretty bad exploit possibility: i can actually SEE other non-discovered areas. see my screenshot and compare the minimap (discovered area) with the main map.

otherwise it's actually pretty good. i picked a bad starting location so everything is slow, but it really is fun so far

in post #70, the missing of the escape functionality in the tech screen is missing.

well, not just that. you cannot either switch to other overview screens (eg F4) from there.

regarding this it would be cool to have additional shortcuts, especially for non-mouse-based unit moving. and while we're at it... i really do miss the context menus. imho it makes more sence than clicking on a unit (which is fortified) and then clicking on the small icon down the bottom

ANyone else having incredibly slow loads of saved games?
About 15 mins for me.

2.1 GHz Athlon
512 M RAM
GeForce 4

The game runs pretty well once it gets going though (having some very slow advosors from time to time too).

Um. I can't even get the Civ executable to respond

You are aware that you can get a context menu for units by Shift-clicking to fortify or awaken all?

Anyone experiencing Civ 4 locking up and closing down after late game Wonder videos. Also some of the Wonder videos aren't playing like Statue of Liberty and Internet. Just my pc or is this a bug that will need to be patched? Thanks

i am now
thanks... i should look at the manual first i guess

but still, rightclick is to me context menu. here it is move. so sometimes there's a unit selected 20 tiles away and i automove him ... gotta get used to not doing that

Yep, really slow load times. I will see if that improves once I am up to my full memory complement again.

Advisors? Haven't seen them yet. Seriously. I have played maybe six partial games, won two and still haven't seen an advisor.

Statue of liberty freeze

Hey my game locked up last night as it was trying to load the statue of liberty completion. I loaded the autosave for that same turn and after I updated my technology and the video tried to load it would just say statue of liberty with a black screen and then and Crash to the Desktop. Just tought I'd post this problem.

This thread is getting a little cluttered what with all the "It's Broken" discussion.

I documented some User Interface and generic gameplay issues that don't have a thing to do with anyones hardware.

Please see my thread at

One of the options in the options menu is right-click menus. I don't like it because it doesn't seem to give you an option for what rightclick USED to do (ie move w/o a second click), but if you like right-click menus...

I think I'm experiencing the same problem as you. I click the icon and nothing. I go into my Civ file and click the .exe and nothing. I click Play on the screen you get when you insert disc one... nothing...

X_X Its like the game doesn't exsist...

Cursor flickers slowly, and appears inside of a square that shows a patch of the background graphics - but from where the cursor *was*, not where it *is*.

Makes it hard to point at things, esp. when trying for the menu or civilopedia icons in the upper right corner of the screen - I usually end up scrolling the map by mistake. Moving those icons diagonally toward th center of the screen would be helpful, IMHO.

Otherwise, it's *BEEEEEEEAUTIFUL*. Thanks!

Minor bug... Once in a while, the tooltips while choosing a new tech or new thing to build seem to not show up. It only happens once in a while in the middle of a game.
