I have Vista 64bit and only DX 10, wont be upgrading to DX11 ever after reading that.
After searching a bit around it seems DX upgrades are "a one way street", no way to downgrade. You could still set up a secondary OS on a different partition though... but thats a lot of stuff for playing one game.
For other games it worked to "force" a certain DX version upon the game. Not sure whether it will work with steam though:

Cant imagine that. Good call, will add to the OP.Easy_D said:

I also have the 64 bit version of Vista though. And it works for me. Only overarching difference seems to be DX?
What else could it be?

When was the last time you updated the drivers from your video card? Maybe you can search around whether you find incompatibilities with that driver on the net.

weird that it doesn't affect me and i'm on W7 64 bit. dx11. have a ati 5800 series card.Suikoguy said:Can't get Grand Ages of Rome to run
Windows 7 64bit
Apparently the issue is not fixable, and it effects certain computers, so looks like I flushed that money down the toilet.

Maybe the download was corrupted >_<?Ranger X said:
I have W7 64, an crappy 4770 vid card but I have the latest drivers.
I dont know, try reinstalling the vid card drivers and make sure you have the latest ones. Sometimes graphics card drivers can screw up games. But if Dx isnt installing properly, I dont think that could be down to much beyond a download glitch.
Also if you have an old card, you dont have DX11.

How were you involved in the game? Came out pretty good, no matter what you did though.Just read back the thread, lots of great initial impressions. Hope that makes you happy
Oh and CivCity inspired the whole "Comeback" of this genre on GAF and this thread btw. And I was gifting it a modest amount of times to some people
I am glad that you liked it! I was pleasantly surprised to see it up on the steam during the sale.
I made mainly buildings and other environment objects. Specifically, the Circus Maximus, large and small Temples, farms, ships, barracks, arches, gladiator schools, houses, and a bunch of others. About halfof the buildings in your link image.
It is certainly good to see your hard work was rewarding for others in the end. Game criticism can be brutal (a good thing, really!) and it is worth it if the game is good!

it should work on your system definitely.vocab said:
I have Catalyst 10.12 (Latest for me) which I downloaded the one with the driver update in there as well.Toma said:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Wtf.
I played teh game for like 2 hours after installing it, then quit, tried it again and now I am getting the same error >_<
I am guessing it has to do with the graphics settings.... gonna try and reset them to default to see if it fixes it....
lameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....

Works fine for me on Win 7 64 bit. Seems to be an issue not solely related to DX 11.Ranger X said:

Still crazy though to see that a game that still manages to convince this many people (just look at the thread!) and still people dont buy it. Even for 1$. =( The "metacritics" review score of 65% is really a bit harsh and pushes people undeservedly away from this game (Even though I agree that criticism is a good thing)
And now I know who I need to think of when I build my next city with 12 goat farms, all created by YOU. :lol
Which games did you buy, if I may ask?Quixzlizx said:
Repost because most people probably missed it because of the trouble shooting side-tracking:
Anyone playing CivCity, check this out:
Was looking around a bit and found a dedicated fan site (which still has people asking stuff)
anyway, there are two interesting mods you should consider.
1. A mod that changes the shop symbols to be actually identifiable.
Download Link, tested by me before and then uploaded
2. And secondly and even more awesome:
A mod that rebalances the game so that technology gets more useful. Now you actually NEED to research before you can buy stuff and better technologies will get more expensive so that you wont end every game with 60.000 Denarii. But I especially like the fact that you need to use the technologies to get acces to every building structure and dont have everything from the start. The author said its not tested to 100% perfectness but should do it.

Be sure to back up the files you overwrite though!

Goddammit. Seems like I fucked up in the second Tarentum mission, since I place most of the large houses to the north west and the river is far to the south east; placing the water thing only reaches like 2 houses, that are still small!
I don't destroy things since my goat farms are to the east. I guess I should build more houses and more tunic/butcher/bar/fucking everything once again.

Ok so I re-downloaded / re-installed Grand Ages and it still doesn't work for me.
Now however I get an error message from windows. You know that message that says an application just shutted down and window is trying to find why...
And all this despise that my graphic card's drivers are up to date and I also did disable the steam in-game overlay thing.
So it looks like I'll never play my purchase. What a welcome back! (I'm usually pissed at PC gaming being just a bunch of fucking problems and it's been a fucking while I didn't play a game on PC because of that. Looks like the second I try, the malediction is back! Or maybe you PC gamers have an extreme tolerance to problems or something).

I bought Grand Ages. I only got to play it for an hour, but it looks great! It looks like I'm going to have to spen some time with the tutorials though
Last game I played like this was Caesar II more than a decade ago, and this brings back the warm fuzzies of nostalgia. Thanks for the great recommendation!
Edit: I'm playing on a Mac via Boot Camp, in Win7 with a GTX 285. No problems here.

You mean run steam as an administrator? As far as I know I am the only user in the computer and an admin.
EDIT: I had the option to "run as an admin" if I right click on my steam shortcut. It doesn't seem to do anything though, the game still crashes.
EDIT 2: That's wierd. If I go check the windows accounts it says I am an admin but I still get the "run as admin" when right-clicking on certain applications exe. So I am an admin or not? lol

Teetris, I assume you've played Master of Atlantis: Poseidon, right? It's a great expansion.
Emperor was a good follow-up...it wasn't as good as Zeus but it had a few unique elements of its own, and it's the best-looking of the series.
