Enjoy the family time, folks. Maybe this would be a good time for us to socialize a bit, if anyone's interested. It's been all business so far. I'm guessing the fact that civstats shows all but three players as eliminated is just some quirk or bug in the setup, with taking the game down for a bit. If not, glad I survived the asteroid strike!

Is there a particular day you're planning on bringing this back up? Just asking cause I don't want to miss kick off.

Hi guys/gals. I've reinstalled on another machine, and when I run the game, it's like it's trying to fit to two monitors instead of one, all stretched out, and I'm seeing the left side. I've tried changing the pixel display settings (my dad runs his machine at 800x600, ack!), and relaunching the game, but that doesn't help. Any ideas?

Don't think you can play with that resolution.
When playing change your dad's resolution to something more reasonable 1280x1024 and change your civilization iv.ini file to match (notice the min. width)
; Custom Screen Height, minimum: 768 - Normal resolutions can be set in-game and will be used when set to 0 ScreenHeight = 1024
; Custom Screen Width, minimum: 1024 - Normal resolutions can be set in-game and will be used when set to 0 ScreenWidth = 1280

Thanks for the reply, WU2.
Wow, civ4 requires you to manually edit a file when you change your resolution? Surprising. I did relaunch the game twice with settings at or above what you suggested, but got the same result. I'll try doing the edit above to the .ini file as you suggest.
It may be that Bantams is right in his reply in the technical area--the machine may not have a graphics card that can handle the game. It came from a university and is probably fairly bare-bones.
Thanks for the ideas, guys, I'll see what I can figure out. Will follow up in the technical thread, so as not to further burden this one. There's another computer in the house that's slower, but it doesn't have the issue. However, it does have the black terrain problem--another memory thing, I think.

Game will be back up in the next 30 minutes...
Edit: game is back up. It shows up on civstats, but if whoever logs in first could confirm they've done so, I'd appreciate it.

Anyone else notice the incredible disproportionate location of all the luxuries?

Anyone in touch with Tamijo? He (she?) hasn't been logging on for a while, and maybe wasn't even before we took the xmas break.

I never have any problems logging in. Are you sure it's not an IP address / password issue? I'll PM you the current IP just in case.

The uploader is down, but the game is up. Forgot to notice how much time was left though.
