How do I stop Civ 3 from choosing refresh rates my system can support and blanking out my screen?
Ok, I also had (make that have) the problem that I get a blank screen due to civ3 using refreshrates my monitor doesn’t support. Though I *can* choose 120hz with 1024×768, my Monitor doesn’t support it, so I don’t choose it. That sadly doesn’t stop civ3 from using it. But if you switch to a higher resolution where there are no illegal choices (’cause your graphic adapter can’t support them) Civ 3 can’t screw up, either. So, even if you normally would NOT choose a resolution like 1200 or 1600, try it and then add the following line to your Civilization3.ini file: KeepRes=1 (not sure if necessary, but it worked for me) Not optimal, but lets you get your hands on this game till the first real fixes.
