    Your game is BROKEN! FIX THIS!

    The game keeps locking up every few turns after/around turn 190+. Seriously? You didn't know this was happening before release? My system is only 1 month old and runs Win 7. It is MORE than capable to run this game. You need to patch this mess pronto!

    Dude at least you can actually play!!! We can't even launch the exe ... Just now we were told they are working on our problem, so they will get to you eventually. Just chill until then.

    When you say "just told", did you actually get a response?

    Can you post system specifications so we can look in to the problem for you

    Yes because they can test EVERY system in the world.

    Have you found any common link between the lock ups besides the turn count? Maybe something occuring specifically?

    What are your system specifications.

    With the start up problems from the game apearing to happen on systems running anything from win xp to win 7 and with hardware just meeting to exceeding minimum specs by dozens of times it seems like they didn't really test with much

    They did test the game, just not on your specific computer. Do you know how many variables can go into a game running correctly? They tried to make the game as usable by as many low and high end people as possible so the coding is likely not as optimized as we would have hoped at launch, but it wil be fixed.

    Firaxis had to program for three seperate OSes, each with a 32 and 64-bit mode, Three seperate DX's, (four if you include 10.1 as a seperate one), and a wide swath of video cards ranging from integrated to SLI configurations.

    I'd say they did a pretty decent job of at least making sure that it's runnable, albeit not perfectly, on a majority of systems. Don't forget there are likely thousands not on this forum who the game is running fine for right now.

    Please post your DXDIAG (not the whole thing, just the main system and video section) and we'll start there.
