Did you successfully use the unpak utility as well on the art.pak file? CS Yes, I did. It took a while thought. After moved that file 1 level up as was asked... After that their famous error does not appear, but game crashes before even movie starts. On the same place always .. right after start .. PS Strange country.. I wonder why. return my card for money and even cgange tham every 2 weeks if I am patient, even if it perfectely works, but I can not get my money back on non working software if I opened it.. I wonder why...

Not sure many of you are really indterested in it but I hope some might help Took this list (http://civilization4.net/3/177/) and bought Radeon 9550 to my "infamous" GIGABYTE GA-8IG1000PRO-G Socket 478 Intel 865G ATX and P4 2.4/800 Mgz, 1024 mb ... Problem - "failed to initialize render" exactely as described ... Did everything support team recommends in www.2kgames.com/civ4/support_ati.htm, including deleting drivers and civ, installing first direct x TWICE, then civ then running, then drivers, exactely as they say.. does not work, same error. Did what they asked in second half. Good no this error, but civ does not run. It loades, changes resolution, continues to load, and then just CTD without any explanations (resolution changed back to 1280x1024)... What shall I do? Write fraxis to demand money back? Change card?? :help:

Sad! I find it really a disservice to customers to sell a game that requires one to toss their graphics card in the trash just so they can play the game and have the "cool" graphics, which does absolutely nothing to enhance game play. Heh.. Had not I known, whip, that you complain about everything whether you have a reson or not, I would have given up the idea to play this game after your comments But I would give it a try. As you guys can see I bought a comp not for playing games, for work mostly, but the only thing it lacks is video card. I guess, if I want to spent some time playing, I need it sooner or later. Anyway, I can borrow a card from a shop for 2 weeks, and return it if I do not like. Bad I can not return CIV ;D

So, does it work with built-in Intel Extreme Graphics 2 on GIGABYTE GA-8IG1000PRO-G Socket 478 Intel 865G ATX and P4 2.4/800 Mgz, 1024 mb or I have to buy a new video card? If yes, which one you would recommend?
Is it possible to test whether built-in video card will work without buying the game?
