Are you having problems with shader libraries not loading. It seems like you all are, so don't listen to everyone sending you to download some crappy file or exe. that will not even fix it.

latest patch for Civilization 4 Warlords when I went to play online, and now whenever I try to start the game, it gives me an error which says "Error loading shader libraries." and then quits the program. I uninstalled the game, https://forums.2k.com/archive/index.php/t-2010.html reinstalled it, and downloaded the patch again, same problem. I then downloaded the patch off of gamespot, installed it, and still same problem. Is anyone else getting this problem? RalphW07-24-2007, 04:58 AMYes, I am having the same Problem mit Civ IV, after installing the Patch 1.74. Untill now I have found a solution for this problem.

I error loading don't know if that's what you're encountering, but it's worth a shot.
