Movie Won't Play

[saturn]

When the game ends, there is an option to view a movie of what happened during the game.

For some reason, I have never gotten the movie to play. Not under Civ3 1.29, and not with C3C 1.15.

Any suggestions as to what I need to do?

Thanks,
Saturn

The replay is available in the history, but I think it does not work if you use and editor map. I am not sure what causes it to not be valid. I know I have used it in the past, but it has been a while since I tried.

Saturn, have you tried waiting 5+ minutes for it?

I used to think I had this kind of problem, but like Theseus says, it is often just a matter of waiting. Although it may not look or sound like anything is going on in the comp, it processes your game's history for a while before it is ready to show the replay.

I still occassionally ran in to a game that civ did not seem to be able to replay, but most will run if you give it some processing time first.

[saturn]

I'll give it 5+ minutes at the next opportunity then.

Thanks

a movie? or just the "look at all the civs expand and die"-map thingy?

I think he is talking about review of the game from the history. Where it shows you cities being founded and great leaders.

thought so. movie... bah! that "movie" was in civ1 too, though the graphics were better (kidding)
