Just installed the Pharaoh/Cleo combo from GOG and played around with it for a while - But I noticed that none of my buildings have any animations? (Like the guards at the palace or bazaar workers), even when fully staffed.

Has anyone experienced this before? This is without the widescreen patch, but it's also present when I install that.

Edit: Turns out it was a Windows 8 issue. Giving the game Windows XP SP3 compatibility and running it as admin solved it. :)

Animation failed, Sprites glitch
(missing icons, flags do not appear, buildings freezes/empty, never indicate)

There is a glitch in the entire Caesar3 + Pharaoh + Zeus + Emperor series where (suddenly!) Building Animation stops working

It's impossible to play without Building Animation, you can't see if the Building works or not.
Usually a REBOOT helps.

The missing animations are caused by your computer being on (including sleep) for too long. After about 24 days, a number will wrap to negative and animations will be gone. Two solutions are available: wait another 24 days or restart your computer.

Restart your computer. All Impressions citybuilding games have this clock-related bug where animations stop working after you leave your computer on (or sleeping) for about 24 days. Restarting your computer resets it. Or wait 24 more days until the animations return automatically...
In general, Reboot, or wait another 24 days :D

Most laptops are set to Sleep and Hibernate by default.
Not surprisingly, the problem has escalated, because Shutdown has become a rarity.
