The Backgrounds For Advances?

[Eagle85]

1st off, I have 2 games going. Both are saved and I flip back and forth between them. When I tried to load one, I found that all the settings had been changed to those of the other game. What happened?

2ndly, when you use the "Target Nuke" function, is it suposed to make a noise or display something? If so what am I doing wrong to not have it work?

This was, to say the least, extremely helpful. Thanks a million.

One question though. How did you know what Ctrl-G did?

I've got Direct X 8.0 but when I try to play CTP II it says I need Direct X 7.0a and can't play without it. How can I fix this?

[teebruin]

I just purchased CTPII, and I have not been able to play it yet. I can't get throuh one turn. I move my settler, and when I hit End of Turn, I get an invalid page fault error and get bounced out to the desktop. I've read the posts, and I haven't come across anything that could help. I have a 700 MHZ Athlon, 128 M RAM, and a basic 8M ATI video board. The movie at the beginning runs fine. I have disabled all animations. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Hi!

When I try to patch my CtP II v1.0 to v1.1, the install program says it can't run since my OS is using the wrong language.

I run Windows 98 v4.10.1998 (Swedish edition) and on my CTP2 CD it says "Call to Power II, Made in EU, Activision, 30013.101.UK" (the game is in English).

Are there anyone who can help me?

I am not shure if this will help you. I read other people having this problem so I am not installing direct x 8. so i only can say is uninstall it. i am not shure how you do it cause i installed it but had to use my windows me to go back to anthor days setting.

IF you dont have windows me i am not shure what you can do except to cry or reformat your hard drive and install everything from scratch and not install direct x 8. (wich i did alot before i got windows me)

Yuppers. Mr. Funn is correct. just reload. I use the auto save all the time.

Davor I found that if you have more than 30 players
total it will crash on a reload every time.

I finally got this game to work. I wanted to post my solution in case it could help others who were having the same problem. I think it's ridiculous that I have to go through this to play a game. I still think the game was a rush job. I was able to get the game to play by adjusting the audio acceleration to basic. This is done in Control Panel - Multimedia - Advanced Settings. Drag the acceleration bar to the second notch from the left. Also make sure there are no programs running in the background.

Did you try to load your saved game from within another game or did you try to load from the Main Menu?
The patch should get rid of that problem as several other save game bugs were fixed.Was that the first time you tried to reload and did it happen with any other save game files.

Firstly never load a game from within another game quit to the main menu then load up your second game luckily i heard of this before i bought the game and have never done it and i've experienced no bugs with it. The patch 1.1 is supposed to remove this bug so download that.

Secondly I've only experienced Nukes (oh drool) in the nuclear detente scen. and in that your not supposed to be able to change their targets anyway.I haven't gotten up to nukes in any of my games yet though i am close, so i wouldn't know.

Hello there no your questions haven't been asked before and always ask questions it helps me think of different small mods to make.
1:There is a way.In BuildingBuildLists.txt you can set what buildings your mayor(and the AI) build. If they can't build any they build units.Try adding whatever buildings you want them to build in whatever categories.

2:what seems to work is if you check repeat track off then after closing the window go straight back into it.
it should then play random tracks.unfortunetly you haveto do this every time you resart the game

3:dunno haven't got that far. haven't heard of it.
