Hello all
I am running
1600 xp Athlon
512mb Ram
Geforce 2 MX/MX400
Windows xp pro
I know sucks to be me LOL
anyways, I was having problems with black terrian, choppy sound and being booted to desk top and hard boot.
Here are some settings that helped me run low tech style.
under options:
Game: only sid's tips checked
Graphics: 1024 X 768 all set to low
single unit graphics, No combat zoom, Animations frozen, Effects Disabled, Globe view Buildings disable are all checked
Next open your civilizationiv.ini (civ4config) file
Set the following
; Set to 1 for no in-game movies
NoMovies = 1
; Specify the number of turns between autoSaves. 0 means no autosave.
AutoSaveInterval = 0
At this point I have been able to run Civ IV without crashing on the Dual planet mode only. I am planning on trying tiny Planet size next. The large the planet size, more problems were happening.
I took the autosaves off because it would hard crash my computer to reboot. It wasn't everytime but maybe when a movie was going to play also, I don't know for sure. You can save yourself by pushing shift-F5. I do it every 5 turns.
Anyways playing on dual planet size isn't great but does let me see the game.
I hope this helps the low techs
good luck
