Civilization

Will Civilization 4 Beyond the Sword run at high settings on Windows XP on boot camp using an iMac with the Radeon 2600 Pro? I've read that the video card is not a great performer for Civ 4. I am thinking about making the switch to Mac.
Thank you.

runs great even with large maps and tons of units

    I tried to airdrop Civilization V from a Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion to a Macbook Pro with Lion and it doesn't work. Other apps have but Civ V has not.

    Likely because it's a not self contained and/or it's game and copy protected, so install it via the developers instructions instead, which likely means it will have ot be uninstalled off the first machine, the developer contacted for a new license key before installing on the newer machine.
    If you want it on both machines, you will need to likely buy another license.
    Most developers are fine with transfering license between machines, you have to contact them.
    They just want to make sure it's only on one machine so they are not getting robbed.

  • Satellite L550: Game Civilization 3 run slow after upgrade to Win 7

    My laptop came with Vista pre-installed, and i ordered the "free" windows 7 upgrade.
    I play a game called civilization 3, wich i installed with Vista and it worked fine.
    Now i upgraded Vista to Windows 7 and the game still works fine, but the graphics have dramatically slowed down.
    My system has the ATI mobility Radeon HD 4650 videocard, and i allready checked if there was a new driver.
    Can anyone helpme out here?
    Thanx.

    Hi
    As far as I know you can find the newest graphic card driver on the Toshiba European driver page. Its the newest which is available for this notebook model and graphic card.
    But to be honest the Civilization 3 is not a powerful game which would need an strong graphic card and therefore I doubt that this could be an graphic card problem.
    What Win 7 version do you use? Is it a 64bit version?
    Possibly the Civilization 3 is not fully tested and compatible with Win 7.
    Did you search for formations in the Civilization 3 forums or manufacturer page?

  • Civilization IV + Powermac G4?

    Has anyone tried the full version of Civilization IV on a G4? I've got a Dual 1.42Ghz G4 with 1GB of ram and was wondering how it would run on this machine. I downloaded the demo and it ran just fine - except that the background was all black.
    After reading some articles it appears that the video card simply isn't supported, but I guess there's a patch (?) that might fix it. If anyone has tried it please let me know!

    What you are seeing is a Kernel Panic. From the sounds of things you have a hardware problem, not a software problem.
    I'm guessing your seeing this http://a248.e.akamai.net/7/248/51/1062271121180590/www.info.apple.com/images/kba se/106227/106227_2.jpg
    If so, you should look at Dr.Smokes guide for resolving Kernel Panics.

  • IS 2.3GHz i7 Quad Core MacBook Pro (Retina) able to run Civilization V?

    Apple mentions that Civilization V has been updated for the Retina display.  Civ 5 shows it needs at least a Core Duo 2.4 GHz processor.  The Retina I have is 2.3 but quad core.  Will this not work?

    Those are 2 different CPU - the 2.4GHz being a Dual Core is slower than your 2.3GHz Quad Core.
    So Civilization V will run much better in your Macbook Retina.

  • I just want to know what Apple computer to get to play Civilization V down loaded from the App store.

    I just want to know what Apple computer to get to play Civilization V down loaded from the App store.
    The game Civ5 processes a turn in single core mode. It says “please wait” while it processes a turn. If the intel i7 CPU is “fourth generation” it is twice as fast for civ5 turn processing. It does not matter if you have more memory or a better graphics chip. So, I can get a smaller cheeper Apple computer as long as it is fourth generation. I tested three new iMacs, two new MacPros and two mac minis.
    See:
    http://apolyton.net/showthread.php/193302-Civ-5-Processor-performance-analyzis-a t-Gamespot
    I have looked at that darned “please wait” message for years. Now it can be 60 seconds on a new MacPro6,1 or late 2012 Mac mini and 30 seconds on a new iMac. Even the 21.5 iMac 3.1 GHz has 3.9 GHz turbo boost for single core and it is supposed to be fourth generation.
    Some of that does not seem to true for the new 21.5 inch iMac I just tested (Fusion drive). Mac Mini 54 seconds 21.5 iMac 49 seconds.

    Legality aside (I'm not a lawyer and have no opinion on the matter) in order to make a purchase of an iPhone 5 you would need to travel to a country where they are for sale and purchase it there. Be sure to get one that is officially unlocked or you would not be able to use it with your cell carrier. Be sure that your carrier supports use of the iPhone before you buy. Also note that the warranty of the iPhone is only valid in the country of purchase.
    Appe does not ship outside of the countries where it sells the phones.

  • Will Civilization IV for MAC play on version OS 10.7.2?

    Just bought an Intell Mac with 2.7 GHz and 4GB. 
    Want to get Sid Meier's Civilization especially with the expansion pack of Colonization. As of November 11' Civ V is out but there are some complaints of compatibility, plus it doesn't come with Colonization like Civ 4 does.
    Thinking about getting Civ 4 instead -- will it work well on a new Intell MAC with OS 10.7.2 (Lion)?
    Does it run smoothly, or are there bugs?

    markjune,
    Why not check with the software developer to see if the app is supported on Lion 10.7.x?

  • Civilization V stopped working after installing build 10041

    After installing build 10041, civilization V crashes when loading a game.
    This worked perfectly just before the installation and fails after.
    anybody else experiencing this issue? Any solutions?
    My guess is that it is a directx issue but I can't be sure.
    Just to prevent the questions being asked, it is a 100% legit version of Civilization installed over steam.
    I tried reinstalling directx and reinstalling CIV V. Both failed. Drivers updated. Also failed.

  • Civilization IV Won't Run on Yosemite

    I am running a late 2011 Macbook Pro and upgraded to Yosemite this weekend.  Sadly, I can no longer launch Sid Meier's Civilization IV game since the Yosemite update.  Game was working fine before the weekend.  The launch screen for the game freezes with "Init Python," indicating that it cannot initiate these files.
    Please help!  Thank you.

    what is the exact error message?
    try booting to install disk 1 (hold c on boot with disk in comp to boot to disk), then open disk utilty (from menu bar utilities>disk utility for 10.4; from menu bar installer>disk utility for 10.3) and repair disk....

  • HT1338 I recently bought Civilization 4, which worked well with Lion, but after updating to Mountain Lion,  the program no longer functions.  The graphic display is scrambled. Any suggestions.

    I purchased civilization 4 from the app store.  It worked well until I upgraded to Mountain Lion.  Now when it loads, the display is scrambled and unresponsive.

    removed parralles and logmein, still no audio devices available.
    but...after booting into safe mode and restarting, audio returned. however it only returns until rebooted again. then no audio devices.
    lame.

  • Downloading Civilization V - An Error has Occured

    I recently purchased Civilization V from the Mac App store, and began downloading it.
    I had to leave my source of WiFi, and paused the download before I left. When I tried to resume the download I was given the message that the download failed and I would have to try again from the Purchases tab. When I go to the Purchases tab and try to hit install, for a few seconds it says installing then switches back to the grey button saying "Install" and the message "An Error has Occured" displaying next to it. No matter how many times I have tried it doesnt continue downloading. I also bought Bioshock, and when I tried downloading that it worked for a bit, then gave me the same error but when I hit install again it has been downloading without error.

    Same here, please mend this.

    Civilization IV uses python, and python was one of the things updated in the security update. Not sure what else it could be.
