Civilization IV: Colonization Forum

OSX 10.4.11
Crossover 9.0.0
MBP vintage 2007.

I followed the installation instructions: first the CD, then the official patch, then the XML stuff. Started it up; it did the intro movie just fine, and the intro menus were doing equally well, but by the time I got to starting a game, there were major display errors. Chief among them: the terrain textures don't seem to load -- all the tiles are black. There's also that the text becomes unintelligible within a few screens: seemingly depending on the height/width settings in the .ini it happens when I switch to the screen that should invite me to start the game, or it happens after a couple of turns of aimlessly wandering about a black ocean.

So that's not a very gold experience that I'm getting yet. Any ideas on what I could fix?

[Yes, I suppose I could fix my antedeluvian kit by buying a new computer...]

Hi,

;) this antedeluvian kit of yours, what videocard does it have fitted?

I'm not a Mac person myself, but I know when a Mac guru -does- see this
post, the first question they'll ask is... B)

Cheers!
