CIV EXE.ERROR crashing problem

[Bilas]

Hello everyone,

I have been playing CIV3 for months now with no problems, I upgraded to the version 1.16 with no problems. Then I did an upgrade to version 1.17f and know I am getting this error.

Windows 98 Version 4.10.1998
CIVILIZATION3.EXE caused fault #c0000005 in CIVILIZATION3.EXE at address 0257:004030c3

I can only think it has something to do with the latest patch. I am uninstalling now and will start a new game with 1.16 to see what happens. I see other people are haveing similar problems but there seems to be no answer except for the same thing I always here "Check the drivers" ect...


I hope someone has a fix for this soon!

Peace - Out

I have been having the same problem.
It's making me pretty angry, considering it takes forever to download that big of file in the first place.
It's my new policy never to download a patch unless it actually addresses something I care about.
