AI Negotiations Problem Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

I've started playing CivII on my new laptop, and when I enter into negotiations with the AI, I go through all the niceties of trading techs when they offer and signing treaties and all that, but when it should go to the screen where I can ask for an alliance, or offer trades or gifts, it instead just closes abruptly. Does anyone have any idea why this is, or what I can do about it?>

Are you using FW? There is certainly a problem with negotiations in this version. If your problem is FW, the only solution I know is to switch to 2.42 or MGE.

I'm a Mac guy so can't really comment with confidence, but I haven't heard of this problem in MGE. Try this:

1. Make sure you have the current patch.
2. Try re-installing.

Try turning off animated heralds, if you have elected that option.

Put an end to popups!

What RJM notes about FW rings a bell.

The exact same problem happened to Cliff in ELG #3, who was using FW, so it could be that your MGE or its patch has resulted in a version having the same bug.

Do you have access to the original Civ II? If so, try it instead after installing the 2.42 patch.

If you only have MGE, you might want to try using it without its patch. I have MGE and recall playing many OCC games without using the MGE patch and without any problems.

Suffering from ads?

I mostly do PBEM, so I need the patch. Oh well, it's not a huge deal, I'll try reinstalling, and if that doesn't work, I'll live with it. Thanks for all of your help though.

Inflate your Upload Space

When you click on Game Options (under Game, or CTRL+O), what does it say?? This will give the version and patch number.

Yep, that's the essentials of what mine says. Hopefully, the reinstall will solve the problem. Good luck.
