	Official Technical Support URL Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Just so everyone knows,

http://ina-support.com/faq/civ3_pc.asp

is the URL for North American Civ III (PC) technical support. Infogrames will be your point of contact for reporting problems, inquiring about fixes/workarounds, and so on.

As other territories launch I'll post their support URL's when I get them.

	Full PM-box? Change here!

Thank you Dan, but would you care to explain how it's not a developer (Firaxis') address?

Wait, I see, just in case trouble will raise you are sharing the pain with Infogrames to revenge for their pressure on early release...

	Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

Beacause everyone at Firaxis is off in some small tropical island getting completely pissed. But Dan has stayed to help us out. Dan's already had a holiday, remember the Sombrero pic:P
Seriously Dan you doinga fantastic job at helping us all

Firaxis probably hired a seperate support company to help out.

	Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

I have been trying to play Civ3 for three hours now and I still am having the same dumbass video problem, which is seriously pissing me off! I find it utterly amazing that a game company could put something like this on the shelf. I have never had a problem with a game until I encountered the worst game of all, Civ3. What a waste of $50 so far!

I love the response to this video refresh rate error:

"It seems to be happening mostly on systems with older or improperly installed monitors."

Wrong! My wife's system has a ViewSonic PF790 which is relatively new and the INF file is dated 8/31/2001 and is WHQL certified.

It is funny how developers blame everything BUT their code when it comes to issues like this. No other game has ever caused this problem before...

	Put an end to popups!

Guys, chill out, I mean just calm down. Dan is prolly the only one reading this, and it's not his fault that there is some video incompatability.

Just bottle up your anger until the game gets working, and then take it out on the other civs.

I had no intentions of bring that anger upon Dan. Yet for Dan to channel my anger through himself towards all the programmers and big time executives. As you may see, though, I did write 'so far'. Does that make up for huge outburst?

One thing I do think is that it is a shame that Civ3 has a 'rushed' feeling to it (I was able to play Civ3 on my brother's computer at his house).

	Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Dan, if you can help answer this real quick, please?

"Video Mode=1152" is there another command we can use?

"KeepRes=1"
i can get the game at 1280x960.

Video=1152

VideoMode=1152
VideoMode=1152/768
