i bought the civ 4 expansion pack for the mac and the original civ 4 works great on it the packs beyond the sword and colonization both start up but in beyond the sword it only lasts a few turns then the game crashes. For colonization it lets me play anywhere from 20-100 turns and then freezes my whole computer.
Finally warlords pack wont even download it says it downloads takes one second and then says it finishes and when i click on it to play it it says corrupted files. I dont know how to fix it anyideas?

I have the mac 10.6.8

Hey General, have you contacted our support folks yet? There are several things that could feasibly cause this. With your system profile provided, they should be able to get you up and running. http://support.aspyr.com/home
