Sometimes when playing Civ IV; the video locks up, resets itself to ancient-standard VGA mode with a popup the (such and such) video driver has stopped responding and been reset to Standard VGA (unsupported). Restart the computer to restore full functionality. I haven't been able to determine a precise immedidate cause yet. (Quickest time from start of the session to this occuring was 5 minutes while it's also ran fine for 2 hours. One time this occured opening city manager window, another time it occured scrolling on the map. All occurances were on a fractal map [3 main contenits] during the Middle Age & Renanance Eras.)
This never happened before the 1.61 patch: The worst that would happen under 1.52 is I'd get an out of video memory message caught by Civ IV that just messed up the graphics on the small overview of the map.
Graphics Settings used:
Low,
Low-res terraign,
City Detail Info on,
Grid Lines on,
Unit Health bar on,
Numeric Pad Help on,
everything else off.
This is on an Averatec 5400 AMD Athlon XP-M 2800 notebook with 512 MB DDR RAM.
Checking Windows updates: There's a few security updates it needs; and a new ethernet & wireless router, but nothing video related. (Downloading the updates now)
