Now that is interesting. I have a pentium D 2.8, 1 gig Ram and the same video card. The only time i ever reboot my computer is when Civ 4 does it for me. Also, it crashes everytime i try to load a game the first time, after the reboot loading games works fine for 10-30 turns or so.When the stars threw down their spears,
and water'd heaven with their tears,

I had no idea that Microsoft actually passed on the info contained in the error reports! I guess I should learn to control my fear of Big Brother sometimes...Originally posted by Soren Johnson Firaxis
It would be useful for us to know how many people who are having crashes are able to do the MS error reporting thing. (It's possible that people have that turned off in their system settings...) That stuff eventually makes it way to us and is really our best bet for catching these system specific problems that aren't reproducible.

I think I have gotten rid of my CTDs, though it will require further testing to be sure (I played over 10 turns without a crash, which has never happened before).
Here is a link the thread post where I discuss what I have done

Hmm, we could make a poll for that. I have mine on. Also I have a couple of dump files from my crashes--I can't really do anything with them can I? (that is, they seem useless for my own personal use)Originally posted by Soren Johnson Firaxis

have you been able to send the error reports to MS?Originally posted by Drachasor

I didn't know that either until a few weeks ago... but we fixed a few crash bugs from Pirates! from MS error reporting, so we are hopeful for the same with Civ4.Originally posted by polarnomad

Biggish, I think around 300 megs. (search comes up with something)Originally posted by Soren Johnson Firaxis

Oooo, one's 700 megs. I only have 1 or 2 since I thought the computer was hanging (it was just taking a long, long time to make the file). I am sure I can reconfigure my computer to generate more, however. : )
I have been able to send several error reports to microsoft, btw.

I could burn it to a CD and mail it to you if you want. Just PM me an address. I could collect a few and mail you 3-5 CDs worth if you want.Originally posted by Soren Johnson Firaxis

Hmm, does it combine multiple dumps into one file? Or does it overwrite past dumps? I seem to only have one file at the moment. I am pretty sure my first was around 300 megs, but the one I have is 700.
Anyhow I don't think it would be that hard to collect several dumps. Mailing isn't that much trouble either.

BLACK TERRAIN

Nothing to fear!
Soren, I apologize for going out of topic, but as long as you're watching this thread, I'd like to ask you about a problem that's been keeping a lot of people like myself with Civ4 on the shelf, waiting for a solution for the BLACK TERRAIN problem (the 1.09 patch didn't fix it for a lot of people).
I can see leaderheads, units, cities, forests, jungles, flood plains, waves moving, hammers, bread, coins, resources and can zoom pretty well, why can't I see normal terrain (plains, grassland, peeks, hills)??? It's all black!
I have a P4 2.5 laptop, XP SP2, updated drivers, 512 RAM, SIS 650 64Mb (no T&L, but good enough to play every other game like Rome TW or AoE3). Besides, lots of people without T&L have been able to play Civ4 after the patch.
Thanks in advance if you can please take a minute to drop a line about this...

The late game crash is pretty much the only issue i'm having playing the largest map size.

I mainly get crashes trying to start the game and reload a previous save. So far I have only played standard size maps. I almost always get a long (4-5 minute) delay on my first [Enter] key starting the first turn, and if it doesn't crash then, I am probably OK. If it crashes, I clean out the cache and start again.
I also can send dump files or upload them to an ftp site if desired.Comment
