About the MAF:
the MAF is a bug in the Firaxis code. It has nothing to do with any maps or mods. Well, let me say this more precise:
The Firaxis team coded rather sloppily. As long as you stay inside the Firaxis limits (vanilla Civ4 or Warlords, maximum huge map, using the suggested computer setup) you'll probably "never" face a MAF.
BUT: whenever the save game gets too large (2 MB seems to be the point of no return for most people), a MAF is coming your way sooner or later.
What makes a MAF more likely?
- Mods with a lot of changes which increase save game size
- huge or gigantic maps -> increases save game size
- a computer that is at the minimum requirements for Civ4
What does help against the MAF?
- a patch from Firaxis (nope, they won't make one for this bug)
- a workaround designed by a community person (on its way, though not yet out)
- limiting the size of the save game. The larger the mods you use, the smaller the map has to be (and vice versa)
- saving and restarting often delays the MAF for some turns
- more memory / better CPU (nope, this doesn't get rid of the MAF either)
- lowering settings (while this doesn't reduce save game size, it allows your comp to cope better with the bug)
So as it stands, there is no real solution to MAF issues for now. The workaround will probably be published "soon" (TM), but even that workaround will not be perfect.
Try out which limitation you are most comfortable with (map size, settings, mod vs unmodded). |
