Since I got the patch I cant get into the lobby. My PC freezes completely when I put in my password and press enter. I have to turn the PC off at the power point. ctrl alt del doesnt even work.
I must say I am not impressed with the whole civ4 experience. Been nothing but hassle the whole time.

Be sure to add Civ4 to the "exceptions" on your windows firewall settings.
When I was downloading, the patch DID offer that "prompt" - but the way it was asked was strangely worded and I had to think about it.

I dont have a firewall and i have windows XP firewall disabled at all times, i got no prompt or anything, just the 1.09 of whatever patch, and "install" or "cancel" i tried installing nothing happens 2 minutes later, the patch failed to install succesfully and thats all.

Good to see posting her ehas gotten me absolutely no help whatsoever to fix my problem. Me too. That's because this game is badly bugged and won't run for some of us. There are lots of people wanting to help; but I think they just run out of ideas.

Thing I dont understand Whip is It worked half way decently prepatched, Ive never hear dof any other game that a patch has made the game worse then before a patch.

Your problem has been sent to the dev's Serpent, but often these things require several people to have the error to get enough "evidence" to locate the problem. Since if they can't reproduce the problem it's very difficult to diagnose. There is also no way for any company to test there game/software for compatability with every possible system configuration out there. That is the weakness of programing for the PC platform, it's very flexable and powerful but also very diverse and difficult to cover all the millions of system configurations. Console programmers have it easy, they have a set software and hardware platform, but then who here has played a game and written emails and word documents on your Xbox or PS2? We are lucky to have a developer that cares about it's product and supports it after release, I'd hate to think what CIV would be like if it was produced by EA.

CS well it would probably work ive experienced many games/developers and ea are a long way from worst Id concur, I have played numerous , well over hundreds of games from EA and have not ever had a problem with any of them, heck even Need for Speed Most Wanted which is newer than CIV runs perfectly fine on my comp and has 10x more grpahics lol isnt that something. Also EA games that where bugfree and extremely graphics high that work fine for me the SIms 2 and Battle for Middle Earth.
