I'm running Civ at 1680x1050 too, so that shouldn't be the problem...

Try running one of the old saves Nuke has sent you, and if that doesn't work try running Civ in windowed mode...

Oh dear.

I have a technical problem. I'm sure it can be fixed but the game keeps crashing. The fact that I've just changed my monitor cannot be coincidental. I have had no issues with any other apps but, hey, there are still bugs lurking in Bts as we know. Scip, I'm pretty sure you run a widescreen monitor at 1680x1050 - any problems? If I can't fix it I may have to ask Steve to resend because it COULD be one of those fluke coincidences. I really don't want to reconnect the old monitor just to find out but if I have to, I have to. The save will load and run but crashes after a couple of inputs. I can't understand why a simple monitor change would affect the program. I am also rather busy this weekend so it might be a couple of days before I can actually play the durned thing. Many apologies guys.

Unexpected, but I wouldn't call it bizarre. It may be that plugging in a different monitor caused some settings to change on your machine.

I'm running on a laptop at 1280x800. But when the BTS app starts, I do believe it resets the monitor to whatever its default settings are.

Success... of a sort.

I turned everything down to basics and ran it under a window as rish suggested and it didn't crash. What I did get was the weirdest thing I have ever seen. Sitting on top of some (not all) units was an assault mech. They even flew on the wings of stealth bombers and hung off the sides of gunships. One of them was HUGE. I wish I could of grabbed some screenshots but it refused to work, saying something had failed.

I got through the turn but it is very disconcerting, unless all those mechs actually do exist rather than being graphical fantasies. In which case, you are all doomed! Flying Mechs whoopeeee.....

Sent to Scip. Hope it works.

I've been having that assault mech graphic glitch for quite a while now. Annoying.

2097 sent to Rish

I'd like to promote a house rule. It would have been better to do this from the start, but I think it would make the game more realistic:

No city razing.

What say you oh other three guys?

1) CONTINUE TO ALLOW CITY RAZING or

2) NO CITY RAZING

I vote (2) NO CITY RAZING.

I don't like razing cities and almost never do it, but I don't like the house rules. So I probably won't do it, but I don't want to agree to it.

That's pretty rich coming from the guy who nuked and razed Istambul in the last game.

I'm with with Nuke. I won't agree to it either.

BTW solved the mech glitch - the animations frozen checkbox must NOT be checked under the graphics options menu.

Alrighty so at best it is 2 to 2 on the issue of razing. In short: do as though wilt, such is the law.

Ha, I think, Nuke, someone has been watching too much Blackadder

Scip, I recommend checking that animations box if you are having graphics glitches. It seems to have permanently solved the prob. I am also managing to run the game fullscreen under a dual screen system so I can play Civ on one and watch a movie...er, I mean, do some work on the other
