Hello,
I'm sure this question has been asked and answered (more than once) on this board, but I'm frustrated and can't find it. I'm hoping someone here can help me.
I bought Civilization IV today and installed it on my computer. The opening video was very choppy. At first, I received a message about the computer settings not matching and that the settings for the game were changed. I was able to play the game just fine.
Afterword, I started looking to see if I could fix the video issues. I'd love to see this game play with the rich graphics it provides.
I tried to adjust my video settings with no success. At first, the video remained choppy. Now, the game crashes and I'm unable to play it.
I get this error:
Failed to allocate video memory
File:\source\main\civilization4\SDKs\gamebryo2\cor elibs\Nidy9rendered\Nidy9rendered textureddata.cpp, Line170
How do I fix this so the game will run on my system? I do not want to go purchase a video card simply to play this game.
I am running:
Windows XP with Service Pack 2
Pentium 4 2.40 GHz
512 MB RAM
1024x768 screen resolution
Highest 32 bit color
It appears I'm running a Legacy video card. The info says Legacy Video Capture Device. From what I saw online, Legacy is no longer producing updated drivers.
I've tried reading the tech fix posts here and at Civilization Fanatics, but I'm not making sense of them.
If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Shawnster
