Alright, well in short, I recently receive Civilization 4; Beyond the Sword, the first few games I played as some of the newer civs they introduced and then I went back to good ole' England. After this I went to Rome, this is where it gets interesting, I was moving an Attack Sub when the game crashed. It gave me two messages, one saying the game has asked Runtime to end the program in an unusual way, and the other telling me the graphics failed to load. I thought it might be just a glitch in the game, but when I went back I played a couple of turns and then the game crashes and I receive the same two messages. I then decided it would be best to start another game. I was Rome this time and I was doing fine until I hit the 100- Turns. At turn 94 the game crashes again. I am now saving every turn, and the game keeps on crashing. If there is a patch or a way to fix this please tell me. I will get a screen shot and the messages on this post later today.
P.S. Hey to everyone that I know!

Hey Gen. White! Good yo have you back. It's been a while a while since you've shown your face around here. Now...to your problem. I've had this problem before too, but it doesn't happen anymore. First off, I'd recomend uninstalling and re-install everything, meaining Beyond the Sword and Vanilla. Once that's done, install all the patches. I know this is a bunch of lost time, but it worked for me. Worst comes to worst, if the problem presists, it might actually be your hardware. What are your system specs? I'm running a P4 3.0 ghz with 1.5 gigs ram and a 128 ATI Saphire 9600XT graphics card. You can always turn down the graphics settings in the options menu (turn of low detail terain, lower graphics quality, lower resolution, single unit graphics, quick combat, no combat zone, no videos, etc...). Hope your issue is resolved soon so you can try out this months GOTM. It's a beast...one where the AI thrives on ganging up and destroying you lol and welcome back!!!

I am also getting this error. Actually, it's interspersed with a Windows exception and a report to microsoft, for which I believe the actual error is the Video Memory Failed to load error. According to some posts on Appolyton this has been ongoing for some time for quite a few people. I run an Athlon 64 dual core processor with 1gb of memory. I am running Windows XP home, SP 3 and am fully updated. I have an Nvidia 7300 GS video card and it has the latest video drivers. After returning from a crash, I can run flawlessly for about 3 to 4 turns and then it crashes. This has been going on since I installed the game last week (the whole enchilada, Civ IV, Warlords and BTS). Here's what it's doing: Once I end my turn, the game begins to process. Then, somewhere along the line, usually right before the game returns to me, the screen goes black, my video settings are reset to 800x600, 4 bit color; I get a 3-color spinning world (cursor); then Windows reporting tool pops up (alternatively, one out of every 4 or 5 times, I get the Video Failed to Load dialog instead of Windows reporting); after the report is sent, I am returned to my desktop where I cannot reset my video settings and must reboot; after which, my settings are returned to normal. Now, I routinely run multitudes of games on my computer including graphically intensive games (World of Warcraft specifically) and I don't believe that this is something wrong with my computer or my drivers. However, I don't know what to do about it as there is no way to get support from Firaxis who tells you to talk to 2K who doesn't even list Civ 4: BTS as a product for which support is available. I appreciate any help offered :-) Paul E. Mason pmason19@sbcglobal.net
