    performance slow down

    Civ4 slows down when the dialogue screen for other players show up. Same thing happens with the video.

    I'm running it on Windows XP Pro/SP2 (32-bit) with an Athlon 64 clocked at 1.6GHz (1800+ PR), 1GB DDR-333 RAM, 128MB 128-bit nVidia FX5200 and 200GB 7.2K RPM IDE HD.

    I think the GPU is the bottleneck.

    Well, yeah, the FX 5200 is a quite poor video card and can have problems with the leaderheads... do you have the patch installed, and latest drivers? With the patch, you should really not have an issue with leaderheads...

      Is the latest patch 1.09? When I used the latest driver for my GPU, it caused the game to crash.

      I turned off AGP texture acceleration for DX9 but didn't change anything.

        Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
