Template:Availability Table

Issues

Widescreen Support

Although the game installed at a fixed resolution in 4:3 format, the game is capable of running in widescreen at modern resolutions. Editing the game's .ini file to add the line KeepRes =1 will cause the game to run in widescreen. The name of location of the file is different depending on the version of the game. If you have Conquests or Civilization III Complete installed, the file will be called conquests.ini and will be stored in the Conquests folder inside the game's folder. For steam users, this will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization III Complete\Conquests.

Compatibility Settings

Issues with the game may be corrected with compatibility settings. The Steam shortcut, however, does not allow this. To run the Steam version with compatibility settings, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization III Complete\Conquests and right click on Civ3Conquests.exe. Select properties and set the compatibility settings.
