Civilization IV

.................................Civilization IV: .............................. --------------------------------1.74 (July 20, 2007)---------------------------- ================================================================================| Developer...............: Firaxis Games Publisher...............: 2K Games Platform................: Windows, Linux Release date............: June 30, 2006 Genre...................: Turn-based strategy game Mode....................: Single player, multiplayer Media...................: CD ================================================================================| Civilization IV is a turn-based game in which the player builds an empire from very limited initial resources. All standard full-length games begin in 4000 BC with a settler who builds a single city. From there, the player expands an empire while contending with rival nations, using the geography, developing infrastructure, and encouraging scientific and cultural progress. By default, players can win the game by accomplishing one of five goals: conquering all other civilizations, controlling the majority of the world's land and population, being the first to land a colonizing ship on Alpha Centauri, increasing the Culture ratings of three different cities to "legendary" levels, or by being declared "World Leader" by winning a popularity election through the United Nations. If the game's clock runs out (by default in the year 2050 AD) with none of these goals fulfilled by any nation, the nation with the highest score is declared the winner. ================================================================================| Specifications * 1.2 GHz Processor * 256 MB RAM * Windows 2000/XP/Vista * 1.7 GB free space * 4x DVD Drive * DirectX 9.0c compatible 64 MB * Keyboard and mouse ================================================================================| ...............daa made with PowerISO.4.3.................

help i cant mount this, it just does nothing!!

yulatheterror (2009-02-14)

never mind, use "power iso"

torrent97 (2009-02-16)

Wow...fag dont use "poweriso" .daa format is gay and annoying to use

torrent97 (2009-02-17)

Well once you overcome the .daa problem the game works fine and is very addictive.
lol even runs on my netbook.

dksone (2009-02-21)

"Platform................: Windows, Linux"
Is it really workin on linux ?
If so, how the fuck do we mount a daa image on linux ?

bhardwaj (2009-03-01)

ya does this work in linux
you can use daa to iso to convert the daa image into an iso from http://freshmeat.net/projects/daa2iso/
let me know if it does work in linux

Craskill (2009-03-05)

Thanks to the eyezin for the upload and thanks to the seeders for a fast download.

tbfenameless (2009-03-29)

 eyezin (2009-04-04)

Have you applied the patch and replaced the game Civilization4.exe with the one provided

-ThePeacemaker- (2009-04-05)

i downloaded and installed just like you said... and i have had no problems!!! :) the game works great!!!!

lividtex (2009-04-07)

Thank you bhardwaj . You link for changing a .daa file to a .iso file was very beneficial. Am currently installing, will post another comment if i have any problems.

nickthersplayer (2009-04-08)

heck when i mount it and try to install it, it says that you have to install something else first. any suggestions?

nickthersplayer (2009-04-08)

never mind when i turned on my computer in the morning it worked great.
and it wasn't hard at all to do it using poweriso...

xsalad_bar (2009-04-14)

ok, i've downloaded the torrent. I've extracted and converted the .daa file to a iso file and i've mounted it to a virtual driver. I ran the patch, which brought me through an installation process which i completed. When I click on any of the civilization launch icons anywhere, it brings me to the loading screen and then tells me to please insert the disk, before booting me out. Please Help. I also extracted the dll files. What do you mean by copy civilization4.exe to game directory. I've done everything else but that. Please help, i feel like i'm so close.

122091 (2009-04-22)

xsalad_bar: In the CIV 4 folder in your uTorrent download directory, there's a file called Civilization4.exe. This is a no-cd crack for the game.
Open the directory where you installed Civ 4 (ex. C:\Program Files\Games\Civ4\. In this directory there should be an identically named file. Copy the one from the downloaded folder into this folder, overwriting the already-present one when asked if that's what you would like to do.
Download works great, have been playing for hours now without a break.

eriks326 (2009-05-27)

thaaaanks. works great, this game is addicting as all hell.

pwnsaucemknasty (2009-05-29)

i am also having the problem with the "boost_python-vc-mt-1_32.dll". what does this mean? Is there anyway to fix this or is this torrent a lost cause?

pwnsaucemknasty (2009-05-29)

Im just wondering. I mean i could try to get another game, but after playing civilization revolution and i saw this, I just can't get my mind off it.

pwnsaucemknasty (2009-05-29)

i figured out what i did wrong srry for posting about it when i should just used my head a little lol

C0NFUS3D (2009-06-08)

Jargonite (2009-06-10)

I found a couple of dlls., but every time I downloaded the missing dll, a new one was missing. it seems there are a whole lot of dlls missing, and I still cannot get the virtual cd to work, it says it needs a cd to play ... ... ...

scribe20 (2009-06-16)

i'll be downloading and seeding this one.. seed please guys. thanks

Theflyingalbino (2009-06-16)

I can't seem too get this to work. Can anyone give me better step by step instructions? I'm completely lost. This is my first game torrent, and I have both daemon lite tools and poweriso. Either post the instructions on here, or send them to [email protected]. Thanks!

Cenya (2009-07-08)

ok you guys are amazing! I'm downloading this thing at about 620 kb! It should be done in 30 minutes! Just unbelievable! Thnx everyone, keep up the good work. I remember buying this game when it first came out, man it was sweet!
btw :: I'll respond back if I was successful at downloading it and running the game

Cenya (2009-07-11)

~ Instructions ~
:: Tested on Vista & XP - Works fine on both ::
:: Scanned for Virus' - Result is Clean ::
1) Unzip Civilization4.zip
2) Using PowerIso
- Run PowerIso
- Select Burn or Mount and find where the CIVILIZATIONIV.daa is stored, select it respectively.
3) Whether Mounted or Burned to a CD make sure it is present in your My Computer.
4) Double Click it in My Computer and install the game.
5) When Installation completes, run the Civ4Patch1.74_Final.exe
6) When Patch is done patching your game copy the Civilization4.exe (the one in the folder you installed) and Paste it over the original Civilization4.exe that is located in (make sure you replace the Civilization4.exe that is in that folder with the one in the folder you downloaded)
6) If you like the game, go buy it. Downloading this stuff will soon be illegal anyway (as it already is in most countries)
7) Multiplayer works fine with mine, but that's cuz I actually have a bought version of it, so you stealers might want to make sure you don't play online cuz you will probably get caught.
8) Don't do drugs after 25 (for guys) & 18 (for girls) because after then they take a toll on your skin and overall health.

keronium (2009-07-15)

after i replace the existing civilization4.exe file, when i try to open it, a blank black box opens for a second then disappears. any thoughts to what im doing wrong?

colocolino (2009-12-12)

I NEED HELP!!!!
So I did all the steps and when it tries to start up it says error loading shading libraries.

Electroo (2010-02-02)

To mount use PowerISO, Daemon tools don't recognize .daa files
Works perfect!

italian3034 (2010-03-16)

thanks i got it now just had to reinstall thanks for ur time for the UL +1 from me thanks again also shade9912 STFU if u think it has a Virus Get the hell off the page u Douche!

marmar16 (2010-05-13)

OK guys, I see a lot of the same problems I was experiencing are still a problem. I'm going to try to break this down by elaborating on a previous post:
1) Unzip Civilization4.zip
You can DL winwar if you don't already have a program to unzip.
2) Using PowerIso
- Run PowerIso
- Select Burn or Mount and find where the CIVILIZATIONIV.daa is stored, select it respectively. If you're having trouble finding it, under File, there should be a tab that says "recent docs" and if you go there, I bet you'll find it or at least it will prompt your pc to search for it.
3) Whether Mounted or Burned to a CD make sure it is present in your My Computer.
You can check by opening "MY Computer" and it will say "Virtual Drive CivIV" or similar.
4) Double Click it in My Computer and install the game.
5) When Installation completes, run the Civ4Patch1.74_Final.exe
6) When Patch is done patching your game copy the Civilization4.exe (the one in the folder you installed) and Paste it over the original Civilization4.exe that is located in (make sure you replace the Civilization4.exe that is in that folder with the one in the folder you downloaded) When it asks you if you want to overwrite, click yes.
Play it. It should run.
If it says a .dll error, or shadow library, it is because you are missing a or several .dll (I was missing 31 and 32). Google them, download them. Once DLed, drop them in the CivIV folder where all the other files are. This should solve your .dll and shadow library errors.
If it still doesn't work, try reinstalling. You will notice the Civ.exe file gets deleted. To get it back, simply go back your torrent interface (mines utorrent) and right click on the file and select "force re-check". This will check the file and automatically DL the missing files. BINGO!
For some reason, whenever I save a game and try to load it later, it will close Civ completely. Basically, I cant quit a game if I want to continue later. Any ideas?

BicBoi90 (2010-06-19)

ok i need some help...i downloaded everything fine, i have all the files on virtual drives and installation was all good, but when i try to play the game, it opens up and then goes to a black screen and wont do anything...i press the space bar and it leave the black screen and i get a message "Error loading Shader libraries"!!! any suggestions would be GREAT i really want to play this game plz help!

little_petey (2010-06-23)

marmar16 can hou pleas help me. there is no Firaxis folder in my program file only om 'My computer'' then 'programms'' i have tryed olmost evryting i even reinstalled it(sorry of me english is bad i am dutch)

little_petey (2010-06-23)

i get the D3DX9_32.DLL to i downloaded them bot i dodnt know where to paste them

marmar16 (2010-06-29)

BicBoi: You are most likely missing some .dlls. Find out which ones (your pc should prompt you. If you can't figure it out you can try downloading a whole service pack). I was missing some too and I was getting the same message. DL them. Once you have them, drag and drop them in the same exact folder that the other .dlls are in.
Little_petey: Are you saving the game under program files in your main drive? If not, it's OK but you won't find it by looking for because you saved it somewhere else. Try the one you found under MyComputer. What exactly happens when you try to run the game?
Try dragging the .dlls in the same folder that you dragged Civilization4.exe into when you were replacing that file. Hope this helps.

marmar16 (2010-06-29)

BicBoi: When I downloaded .dll_31 and 32 and dragged them into the said folder, the "Error loading Shader libraries" message went away and I was finally able to play.

Spartan77 (2010-10-23)

Whenever I try and open civ4 it says "The program can't start because boost_python-vc71-mt-1_32.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. Any advice would be appreciated!!

ViolentPirate (2010-12-16)

For all downloadable directX d3d files including the ones required to make so many of your issues go away like 32 and 31.dll here is a site that is very easy to download and use the full bundled .dll files included in previous patches and included on the site is reasons they stop working. i too have had shader errors aswell as missing dll issues. i installed 31 and 32 into my programfiles/civ4 folder and all my errors and issues ahve gone away. i am now able to play and wanted to share my good experiances with this well seeded game and work arounds on how to fix the issues

ViolentPirate (2010-12-16)

oops didnt add link to last post here it is

Resequenced (2011-01-11)

So, I'm encountering an interesting problem that no one seems to have had yet. I've downloaded this torrent and also another copy of Civilization IV and both were unable to install. I followed all of the directions 100%, but here's the thing: when I go to install after mounting, I'm asked to choose my language like all other programs, then the InstallShield wizard tries to load and I get an error:
"Error number: 0x80040706
Description: Object reference not set
Setup will now terminate", and then it closes.
I searched around for awhile, and concluded that there must be a problem with my InstallShield Engine, so I tried to update it. I went to install that, and guess what? Same exact 0x80040706 error while trying to install the InstallShield Engine 11.00! So, if anyone has some info or suggestions, would be greatly appreciated.

nvad24 (2011-10-14)

@resenquence i have the same problem. about to just buy the game

gyroscopic (2011-10-24)

Works for me with win7 64bit running in xp compatibility mode, as an admin, and after disabling the desktop composition.
How? Right click CivIV shortcut, go to properties, select the compatibility tab, then find the tick boxes.

gyroscopic (2011-10-24)

Oh yeah, and thanks for the up.

Mr_Shithead (2011-11-10)

--SIMPLE GUIDE TO INSTALLATION--
1. Alright, wow. It seems as though everyone is using this overly complicated PowerISO thing that I can't even begin to understand. Let me provide a simpler installation guide that will hopefully provide an easier solution.
2. Extract the .daa file from the .rar file using winRAR
3. Download daa2iso using media/fire with this extension: /?dmkx0rsj4j7o8p5 which is a program which should convert the .daa file to .iso
4. Download and set up (if you haven't already) Virtual CloneDrive. You can find this on pirate bay.
5. Click on the .iso file of Civ4 and 'Play with' Virtual CloneDrive
6. Install the game as usual, and run the patch
7. Play!

psihais (2012-01-31)

"InstallShield wizard tries to load and I get an error:
"Error number: 0x80040706
Description: Object reference not set

I had the same problem. I tried running it LOGGED IN AS ADMINISTRATOR and for some reason it works fine. The same goes for update.

denoslack (2012-04-22)

No problems with .daa conversion or install; just followed directions. Check bhardwaj's comment (on the first page) for the link to the converter. Thanks for the DL!

nairobi19 (2012-06-13)

HotJonny420 (2012-06-17)

mjbonuma (2012-08-15)

I did everything as said here and the nstallation went ok. But I can't run the game because of this error:
"Error loading shader libraries"
Someone help please!!!

amorek12 (2012-09-13)

It Says "please insert the Correct CD-ROM" I've done every step to the T and finished. I have it mounted and every thing. I have even searched for a No-Cd crack but it says they took the protection off the CD in patch 1.1 anyone know what i should do? thanks in advance!

Sgt. Cane (2013-05-27)

I can not get this to work. Wish I had read the comments and realized what a struggle it was BEFORE I downloaded it.
For me it says something roughly translated to "Couldnt find the starting address - Couldnt find the procedure starting address _BinkShouldSkip@4 in the DDL-file binkw32.dll." when I double click the replaced .exe-file.
I give up.

.235. (2013-10-01)

damn garbo torrent. unless you want to waste time beyond the D/L getting other programs and converting files to install, don't waste your time.
