Just a quick question, in case I am being really stupid..
I have just received Civ 3 as a present (at last....), and the box, which is small (A5) is labeled 'CIV III More Civ than ever'.
CIv3 doesnt work, and as I update drivers I want to check I have Civ 3 & not only PTW! It appears from the manual to be only pure Civ3, but the CD is labeled PTW.
I am having trouble getting the game to run at all, and whilst a update all the drivers and DirectX etc, I thought i should check...
Clicking on the desktop shortcut to PTW cause the screen to go black, reappear at 1024 resolution, and then go black again, and crash with "civilisation3x.exe causing page fault in civilisation3x.exe...."
Reasons why it may fail?
Do I have a PTW only edition - on installation the CD warns that without CIV3 installed, PTW will not work.
(I cannot play 'cause I have PTW instead of Civ3).
however the install program has a Civ 3 exe, and the readme says version 1.29f. So despite the warning has it installed Civ 3 & PTW?
Clicking on Civ3.exe, rather than the desktop shortcut to PTW fails cause of missing 'binkw32.dll'.
I am updating drivers, which is the standard thing to do, but wanted to check I hadnt got the completly wrong program installed to begin with
system (which is on the lower end of the acceptable spec but even so..):
w98
p2 450
128mb ram
tnt nvidia 16mb (compaitiable with DX 8, but perhaps not 9)
montego 2 sound card (is this compatible with DX 8 & 9?)
DirectX 9
upto date monitor drivers, and I have tried to force the resolution, refresh etc.
also been through Infrogrames help section...
