Civ 3 crashes all the time, only started after installed avast, and have tried disaballing avast, zone alarm before playing and it still crashes. Have had Civ 3 for long time. Computer is a Acer 7200D 1.8 Pentium4,
XP home ,512 ram. Error message from Microsoft, states that it may be a conflict with drivers. Have updated sound card and video card.
kenhwcan, sorry if we cannot help you so fast and deep with this. I do not use Civ 3 and cannot figure out what will be the driver conflict… Do you use XP?
I bet on your updates of sound/video cards… Some updates are not good to system stability at all…
Does avast crash with any other application?
If you not only disable but ‘uninstall’ avast, will Civ 3 work?
Does the game need Internet connection? Does ZA allow it to connect?
Would it help if I put the error message that windows wants to send to microsoft
Maybe kenhwcan, I do not use this game but the avast team could read better this bug repports and dump files. Good luck (remember we are on weekend and could be nobody at the office, besides pk I suppose…)
