Anyone encounter/ know how to fix this probelm?
I've installed FfH in the propper steam files of BtS mods. I can open BtS fine, and go to the advanced > load a mod and pick FfH 2.030 (w/ h patch), but I get an annoying "Civ 4 has stopped working, windows is searching for fixes to the problem" message. The status bar seems to be about 3/4 full when this occurs. Any ideas? or anyone know how to extract BtS fromt he Steam dir after purchasing via Steam?

Thanks

Curtis

I thought I remembered this coming up once before.

This fellow (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=250682&highlight=steam) says that he figured it out.

Please let me know if this solves it for you so that I can include the information in my "Proper Installation Guide" thread :) (or so I can try to be more help if you still need it)

EDIT: As a Bonus, here is a hint on setting up the shortcut (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=246528&highlight=steam) so you can launch straight to FfH without doing BtS.

great thanks a lot totally worked <dances a little>. I had installed to one of the other steam mods folders (there are like 3-4), had to delete the old folders to load correctly too but following that file path works great.
