My Problem: No crashes or freezes, but when playing a match since the expansion the unit mechanics have become extremely laggy. For instance I start the match with the settlers automatically selected, once I have moved them it will take up to 5 minutes before I can even select the warrior. This happens for every stage of the turn.
A friend of mine is having the same problem, let me know if you find anything that helps and I will do the same.
Problem: Upon starting the game, can’t click anything except main menu. Can’t select units, or can’t use them. Can’t skip turn.
iv been having the same problem that a cant end a turn or move any units on the start of civ v gods and kings , have u had any feed back on how to fix this
you say only core i3 and core i5 are supported for on-chip graphics. i have a core i7 2670QM with an ati hd 7000 series chip. i get the same error regardless of whether i’m using the on-chip HD intel graphics or the ati discrete chip. it’s saying something about the colors32 not working. i also have the same exact game on my desktop with an hd5850 and have no problems at all so i’m not sure why it’s not working on my laptop. any ideas?
Everytime I finished a scenario, the game lagged. I tried to wait but nothing happened. In the task manager, it is said that the game is not responding.
This does not happen when I play a set up game.
Can somebody please tell me how to fix it?
