WHY DOES THE VIDEO CRASH?

April 18, 2006 5:26:12 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Hello,
I am using the Game on a Notebook system with following Specs:
Intel Celeron M 370 - 1,5 GHZ
512 MB Ram
NVIDIA Geforce GO 6200 - 256 MB Ram (Updated Drivers to the latest available)
Model ASUS A6VC
System: WIN XP - Home SP2

Problem is following:
All the videos start normal (Campaign and Free Game Vids) but then they Stop and what I hear
is only Sound (more or less).
Whats wrong with the game? I ordered it three Weeks ago from a retailer and now I finally got it,
but cannot see the Vids as its supposed to be!
Hope somebody can help...I found only one post for this Topic but without any Suggestions to solve it.
Thanks fo help!

Besides video drivers, another problem lots of people have is the size of their page file being to small.
Post your debug.err file in your galciv2 program folder.

i think he is talking about the intro video, and then the mini clips when you first build a starbase, wipe out a minor civ, those ones.

double click it to open it in notepad or whatever it defaults to.

then just copy-paste-post and you should be good.

@ Colonel

Page File: 84MB used, 533MB available

It's the page file. Game needs at least 1GB page file to run. You need to increase it, and make 1GB the minimum size.

@OP
Same thing perhaps - your page file is not starting out big enough - try increasing it's size to 1GB minimum at least. 2GB+ seems to be optimal for me.

Honestly, I'd bet you can blame this on nVidia. Their latest drivers dropped support for the older GO cards. I'm pretty sure guru3d.com has a version of the drivers with a modified inf file that lets the drivers install.

yeah, but for laptops NV leaves driver distributions up to the OEMs, so there are only officially supported update drivers for laptops when Toshiba, HP, or whoever decides to distribute one for their hardware.

one can, however, get modified desktop installs that will do the trick from places like: Link

only for the really super-ancient ones.

the first poster has a 6200. that's still supported... it's only one generation down from the current one, even if it is the low-end of that generation.

the second poster, though, has a GeForce4 MX 440... i'm not even sure what chip is in that... let's see...

google: "GeForce4 MX440" +bios

yikes! nv18? do you need to apply cardio paddles to that to get it to boot? dang!

nVidia's site, as well as Guru3d's and others don't show the GO 6200 as being supported anymore, just the desktop 6200. Again, the inf hack supposedly fixes it.

Geforce4 MXs though? They weren't decent from the day they were released, unfortunately.

Colonel's video drivers are also over 4 years old.

To download new drivers go here: http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp


To change the size of the virtual memory paging file

You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure.

1.


Open System in Control Panel.

2.


On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.

3.


On the Advanced tab, under Virtual memory, click Change.

4.


Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file you want to change.

5.


Under Paging file size for selected drive, click Custom size, and type a new paging file size in megabytes in the Initial size (MB) or Maximum size (MB) box, and then click Set.

If you decrease the size of either the initial or maximum page file settings, you must restart your computer to see the effects of those changes. Increases typically do not require a restart.

I'm having trouble updating my page files. It's updated just fine according to the page file window. But the debug.err refuses to believe I've made the upgrade, and is still operating under the old page file numbers... so I removed the debug.err file and made it generate a new one. same thing happenned... so i manually editted the debug.err file... but it was changed back...

I tripple checked the page file, and indeed... Its set to 1.5gigs-4gigs... And yes, I updated my graphics card straight from the invidia website. Any thoughts?
