Once you have installed Civ 4 in safe mode.then unzip, copy, and paste the two dll files you downloaded and place them into the same directory as your Civ 4 Application.this will probably be your C rogram Files/2KGames/FireAxisGames/Civ4/ file folder. Next install Civ 4 in safe mode.this will prevent the application from automatically downloading premature software info.again avoiding a lock up and freeze. Instead, download and save the dlls listed below. Several sites want you to replace the files listed below in your C:/Windows/System32 directory.do not do this as you will mess up a clean install of DX which will cause more compatibility errors with newer games (Metro 2033 and Sims 3 in my case). Even after spending an hour with FireAxis games in Northern England.even they could not figure out how to correct this problem. This is what is causing Civ 4 to lock up and crash. dll files in the C:/Windows/System32 directory have been replaced by emulation files instead of the older, larger content specific files.even though the files look and are named the same.they are composed of a different code than what was given to many software developers. This is simply not the case as two crucial. Theoretically, DX11 is backwards compatible and allows for an upgrade from previous DX versions which should allow everything to run correctly. Last month I built a new rig with a shnazzy 5850 ATI card and made the mistake of installing direct x 11 BEFORE installing some of the previous versions of Direct X. This is what I installed to get Civ 4 to work on a 64 bit Windows 7 platform: With umpteen versions of Direct X floating around out there this is where the majority of the problems arise. Its important to know that a specific version of direct X 9c is the most stable for this also seems to be the only package that I could get to work.make sure you get this specific package because in later months several pertinent dll files were stripped and recoded for emulation. This is what I discovered after countless reinstalls.tech support.registry edits.and software updates. In the IV one I already had a key but then I added another 1.74 key and it fixed it.Hello everyone.I am taking the time to write this to possibly save someone else the huge headache in dealing with the "can't load shader library errors." In Civ 4 A lot of game companies then banned games from being digitally distrubuted to Australia.ĮDIT: Just tried to add a registry key, didn't workĮDIT: Found the fix!!!!!!!!!!! I have 2 Civilization registry things as mentioned earlier, one with 4 and with one IV. Game companies realised if they kept allowing aussies to buy games online with a good exchange rate that they would only be making half the money. Australians were buying games for $50-60 AUD. That was never a problem with digital distrubution until our dollar briefly went very well against the greenback so the dollars were equal. What happened is retail games in Australia go for near double the price of those in the US (i.e. Our Systems indicate you are outside the territory authorized for distribution by the software publisher of this title. Yea I originally tried to buy it from Trymedia but since I am Australian I get told We're sorry.
