After i installed the game, i got a D3DX9_26.DLL was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. :( :( :( :( :( WTF?? I tryed that and I got the same :):):):)ing thing. I called tech suppport and guess what? I get cut off. This is my fisrt Sid Meier game, my first Take Two game, abd the way things are going, the last.

Yeah, there's apparently some ATI card problems... Follow the link. A lot of the reports seem to be coming from laptops as well (basically any card without T&L support).

I've got my copy... but I have yet to try it on my ATI card at home.
Please don't crash, please don't crash...

A number of people with ATI cards *are* getting it to work as well... The true problem has not been discovered yet, so all may not be lost! It sucks, but I'm sure Firaxis is working like mad to patch whatever is going on.

I read a little of the manual, apparently corruption is still around :(

The manual uses the word "corruption", but you won't really find that to be the case in playing. There is a "maintenance" penalty, which can increase based on the distance from your capital and the number of cities you have. This penalty is a GOLD penalty. So, you won't have useless cities that can't produce buildings, but your empire may be dragged down if you expand before you can support yourself economically.

I have a Nvidia Card.
 

Well, I did get mine to work without too many problems (though the tutorial flaked out on me).

I haven't kept up with alot of the changes, other than a quick read through. I will say this, there are some things which, not having read the manual, are not intuitive, even if you've played Civ II and III. So, I guess I'd better read the manual before I do anything else with it.

First impression is....I'm not sure I like it....
 

I can't install the version of direct x 9.0c that comes with the game, and you need that version to play. VERY PO'ed. I hope everyone at take 2 games, there families, childerns, pets and friends burn slowly in hell for this. VERY FRUSTRATED.
