Video problem in Civilization IV Warlords
No where in these forums or elsewhere on the net can I find any information
about this problem, which I'm not used to, but hey, welcome me to using beta software I guess. Anyways in Civ4, any 2d flat images are displayed fine, but any 3d stuff on the bottom part of the screen is mostly blocked out by blue or black stuff. Confused? A picture is worth a thousand words, I can email a screenshot to anyone who is interested. Also, I have a ati radeon x1600 with vista rc 1 drivers.

Have you tried using ATI's drivers on their website? They're two weeks newer than the ones included with RC1. I haven't tried Civ4 with RC1 yet, but I didn't have any issues on previous builds (other than having to run it in a window). -- Paul Smith, Yeovil, UK.

I did indeed get the latest vista drivers from ATI's website.

I had the same problem. It turns out the newest ATI drivers are the problem.
Go to the device manager and select the Display Adapters. Then double-click on your card and go to the driver tab and select Roll Back Driver. That should do it.
