  • Civ3 v1.29f incompatible with nVidia's 40.72 drivers?

    I upgraded the drivers for my GeForce4 Ti 4400 to the newly approved version 40.72, and I am seeing a new problem with Civ3.

    After loading a map (either a saved game or a new map), I cannot scroll around the map. When I click on a different location on the minimap and right-click on a square, the information box doesn't match the square that is displayed on the main map, so it appears that the game thinks that the map is centered to the new location, but can't draw the new map.

    Does anyone have any experience with this type of error, or should I roll back to the older 30.82 driver set?

    Hmm, I've played this game on 4 different systems, all with Nvidia cards ( A geforce 3, Geforce 2 Ti, Geforce 2 MX and a riva TNT) and haven't experienced this, BUT, if you got your driver between 11/8 and 11/11 (I think those are right) Redownload it, there was a bug in the driver. They have a **NOTE** on their site. Also, if you have any issues, you may try the Detonator Destroyer after uninstalling to make sure all reg files are gone, then reinstall the 4072 driver.

      I did get the drivers between those dates. I saw the announcement, but haven't had a chance to try the newer download. I'll give it a try and post my results here.
