CIVILIZATION 4 PATCH 1.74 FULL
Do I have to be able to run Civ IV in the first place to get to that? In the other thread, the person with the problem had to also delete the installshield directory, but I'm not super-certain where that is or what he meant.New | Updated | Full Listings | Add | Top Rated | Search
You mentioned in the other thread about some "advanced>about this build" thingy, but I'm not, uh, really sure what that means. The "End-user runtime" does not have Windows 7 under its "supported OS," so that's not very promising. Anyone know if I need 1.74, or is it just a wild goose chase? Civ IV worked fine on my other Windows 7 laptop, and it was running 1.61 from the CD.ĮDIT: So I snooped around on Wikipedia and found a version of DirectX 9.0c from February 2010. I've only found one dude on the internet saying that that's case. For reference, this is vanilla from the game of the year CD edition. I don't have any restore points from before the problem started.Īlso, I'm still.like, not sure if the 1.74 patch is needed to run Civ IV on Windows 7. System restore is not an option, as it turns out.
CIVILIZATION 4 PATCH 1.74 UPDATE
Now, I don't know if that will just update me to 11 or 12 or whatever the, which will be useless, or update 9.0c. There are a bunch of "redistributables," which I'm pretty sure are what I want, but there is also the "end-user run time" thingy, and I have not single ing clue what that is, but it says it'll update my current version of DirectX.
CIVILIZATION 4 PATCH 1.74 SOFTWARE
There are a bunch of software development kits, and I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to get those. So basically when I'm looking through the Microsoft website to find the "latest version of dx 9.0c," I get that. I've tried the 9.0c fix for error 1706, and nothing happened, but I am not entirely confident that I've been doing it right-namely, I don't know what the hell I'm supposed to download, because I'm not that bright. Why? Because the Sid Meier's Civilization IV folder in my My Games folder doesn't exist.
I tried using the logging feature, but that didn't work because CivilizationIV.ini doesn't exist. I'm not even sure if the 1.74 issue is even related to me being completely unable to open the game in the first place. The usual fixes do not seem to be either applicable or working, because I'm 100% certain my DirectX is up to date, check the attached file to confirm, and I don't think I have any installation problems. Try doing that, and get the same error 1706 that a bunch of other people seem to have gotten: it says that it's done installing, but an error message appears. I look online and I find a thread saying that I need to get the 1.74 patch. Installation works fine, but when I try running the application nothing happens, not even an error message. I have no idea how this might have caused the game to stop working.Īnyways, I uninstalled and then re-installed. I think there was a windows update when I shut the laptop down for the night. I played the start of a game, admired my shiny new graphics, and thought, "hell yeah."
When I installed Civ 4 on my current laptop, it ran fine. Previously, Civ 4 was running fine on another laptop that had Windows 7. Recently I got a new laptop, the specs of which are included in the DirectX diagnostic thingy that you guys told me to attach.
