View Full Version : Cannot change civics

It is a very annoying and disappointing problem that I get on BTS.
Whenever I want to change the civic (and start revolution), I cannot do so because the Civics window does not have OK button. All I can see is Cancel. I tried selecting a new civic (Slavery for example) and simply clicking Enter, but this doesn't work.

I mostly can go around the problem when I discover a proper technology (like Bronze Working) and agreeing to the revolution promtp. But in case with Democracy (which allows two civic changes) I can only change one.

By the way, I also notices thatseveral interface labels are not internationalized. For example, instead of Marathon i see somethong like BTN_KEY_MARATHON_XXX (can't recall exactly), and similar for Custom scenarios.

Anyone with any tips or ideas please?

How can I attach the screenshot?

Aha, it worked. As you can see in the game speed section, the label for marathon is weird looking.

Right now, I cannot start a game to show you a Civic window, but I will try to reinstall and then get a screenshot.

OK, I reinstalled BTS, so that the game does not crash anymore (after patch 3.13).

Here is the screenshot of the Civics window. I just discovered Bronze Working, got the prompt for revolution and adopting Slavery and replied No.
Then I got to Change civics and get the following screenshot. How am I supposed to change something. By the way, clicking on Cancel also does not have any effect.
I willreally appreciate any help.

Are you still getting the TXT_KEY_GAMESPEED_MARATHON? That's an indication that at least one file is either missing, or incomplete. That certainly could cause problems in other areas as well.

Are you using any mod?

Actually, I noticed that labels similar to TXT_KEY_GAMESPEED_MARATHON are all over the place. And no, I am not using any MODs.

Actually, after I tried playing custom MOD senarios, it was a total disaster - graphics, interface, invisible units. A ery-very buggy gameso far. I fee like going back to warlords until decent patch is realeased. I tried installing 3.02, 3.03 - these did nothing good. Aftre installing 3.13, the game started crashing.

Or remove every trace of your old installation including saves and replays, then reinstall Civ 4 and then BtS followed by patch 3.13. I had a problem with some corrupted files, which this procedure cleared up.

Bushface, I already have done what you suggest - clean install from the scratch, that is. Did not help.

Bhruic, thanks for the suggestion. It is quite today already, so I will do all steps over the weekend. Thanks
