Civilization IV

Has anyone gotten their hands on this game yet?

Well, I have a question…okay, so I bought Civilization IV from Direct2drive.com and I was able to download the game and install it that way and I’m able to play it without the CD. Well, after I installed the game, I went to play it and first off, the opening music theme was all choppy, then I went to select my Civilization and the “animated leader” didn’t show up, I just say his eyes and his teeth on the screen moving around. Then when I actually got to the game play, the entire map was black, but I could see my units.

Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions on fixes?

Thanks!
