But they did.īy removing the LSANS.FOT file (or by simply renaming it) the game simply looks for the font file elsewhere, and finds it! Of course, this isn't even the default path for the game, so why Breakaway games should include this file with their patch is beyond me. If you're wondering what the problem was, here's an explanation: Within the LSANS.FOT file is instructions for Civilization to load the LSANS.TTF (the LucidaSans font file) from "C:\BreakAway\Civ3\Conquests\LSANS.TTF", and if the file isn't there, the game won't load.
You can now play Civ 3 Conquests, on ME, XP, Vista, Windows 7, whatever!. Rename the file LSANS.FOT to _LSANS.FOT (or indeed, anything you like, so long as it isn't LSANS.FOT!). Next, go into the Conquests\ folder and look for a file named LSANS.FOT ( not LSANS.TTF!). Yours could be ' C:\Program Files\Sid Mier's Civilization III', for example.) Go to your Civilization III folder on your harddrive (mine is ' C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive', for example. The REAL solution to the Civ3 Code 28 error is this: Update: This solution works with Civilization 3 GOLD, too! (Thanks to 'gravegoul' for the tip!) I've read many solutions to this problem, and the most ridiculous one, and the "official" one put forward by Atari/Infrogrammes is to delete all Lucida Sans font files from your Windows/Fonts folder! Unbelievable that this could ever be considered a "solution". If you found this, you're probably having the same problem I've just had, installing Civilization 3 with the Conquests update, the latest patches, and then being unable to play it because of an error message: "Error loading font.
