ok
I have a dell 3ghz, 1gb ram, 128mb nivdia 5200
I did a few things that may or may not have affected why its running smooth all of a sudden.... but i had the same type of sluggish graphical issues...
- changed my refresh from 85 to 75
- under my vid card settings i modified Anisotropic Mip Filter Opt to "on"
- I made a few changes in the _civ4Config file
Enable Trilinear Filtering for the Minimap
MinimapTrilinearFilter = 1
Enable Tree Region Cutting
CutTrees = 1
Enable Quick Slide Show Transitions
PopSlides = 1
Allow Screenshots. May affect performance on some video cards
AllowScreenShots = 0
Set to 1 for dynamic animation paging
DynamicAnimPaging = 0
Set to 1 for no python exception popups
HidePythonExceptions = 0
Sync input to smooth interface (may run slower)
SyncInput = 1
Not sure what specifically I did but, maybe there will be someone who reads this and benefits from it... or just experiment a little
good luck ya'll...its a shame we have to suffer thru all this crap after paying 50$ for a game and not getting ANY sort of response or support, except from other fans...
