Civilization 3: Complete Crashes before starting

link2009 · 10-14-2007, 11:11 AM

When I try to run Civ3: Complete, it immediately crashes without any errors, Steam says I have all the files at 100% and fragmentation 0%.

O/S: Vista 64-bit
Mem: 2.5GB DDR2

Come on...nobody's had this problem?

I'm having these problems!

It just says "Civ 3 complete has stopped working". I'm running VIsta 32-bit.

Me too now what? Im also on 32 bit vista.7600gs geforce.

I was really looking forward to playing.

I talked to 2k tech support. The guy tpld me this game will never work with vista. So I don't know now, I didn't believe him so i called again like 12 hours later, got a different guy and he said the same thing. So This sucks.

If you're lucky there might be//someone might release a patch to allow you to play in Vista...

Like command and conquer red alert is a windows 95 game, but I can play it on XP because someone released a fix.

Or you could just downgrade because Vista is teh sucks.

Anyone found a fix for this yet?

stoneysilence · 04-25-2008, 07:31 PM

Compatibility Mode's do not work?

That's Valve for you. I wish Sierra owned STEAM, the support would have been amazing.

and steam should have stated that civ III does not work with vista if u download it from them.. the only way to get it to work is with the cd on an actual install. and the fact that they dont answer there customer support is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥..

When did you send your support ticket in?

I have same problem. Is there no fix? is there no patch? Does it mean that there is NO way to run Civ 3 on Vista64 and i just spent $30 on nothing? Only way to make it work is to buy new (older) windows XP? You really could write to game description that i does not run under vista.
