	The ****ing game just crashes in the middle of the AI turn! GRRR Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

Must... play I didnt finish conquering North America yet!

Here's the savegame, just press enter and wait for the crash.

The only changes I made are making the temple a corruption reducing improvement, increasing the stealth interception chances to 15% and making a trireme a French only unit(I wanted to keep those AI apart until the middle ages ).

When? When you open the zip? Load the game? Or after you press Enter?

I played the turn, pressed enter and it crashed again at some point during the AI turn.

Same thing happens to me with this save game... Move the archer wherever, and watch it crash.

Now, after I press enter I get BSODs. Is there someone from Firaxis over here?

Side Note... Now the game crashes whenever I try to shift-click something into a build queue.

I'm about to uninstall the patch... The game was perfectly playable pre-patch. Now I can't seem to make it past 300AD without crashing.

And it never fails to happen at the same point in the same turn, even if I load an auto-save or start from a previous save. The problem occrus during the 1900s or 2000. Does anyone have any clue, or should I just join the "stumped" club?

dude, just start a new game. It's only with this individual game, right? So it's no big deal.

How much of a memory hog is CivIII? I had a problem with the game crashing frequently, but when I tried some diagnostic software designed for another game, I discovered that one of my memory sticks was corrupt. I fixed the memory problem, and haven't had CivIII crash since.

It is now time for all good players on this thread with crashes to:

Uninstall the game. You might want to copy your saved games and your highscore list to someplace safe first.

Delete the Civ folder or at least anything that might remain in the main Civ 3 folder. If you have modded things though I recommend doing away with the subfolders as well.


THEN reinstall the game.

Then BEFORE you try the game install the 1.29f patch.

It looks like you have a corrupted file or two. Most likely the main .exe.

You may want to redownload the patch first. A corrupted download could be the problem although any flaw should show when it is decompressed before installation. Sometimes this does not occur even though the a patch has a flaw.


Gramphos how could you, a programmer, not know what a BSOD is?
