Having had loads of problems with FfH, I have narrowed it down to a single issue I think will solve everything.

My only problem is the initial movie the mod tries to run when the game starts up. I get the binkw32.dll problem. Disabling all movies in options works round this error.

The first screen upon loading a game says "The Age of Ice has ended" and then it goes black, crash to desktop with error message.

I don't want to disable *all* movies as they all work fine in my retail version and other mods, so it seems like cracking a nut with a sledgehammer.

Does anyone know how to disable just this initial game start up movie?

In Assets\Python\CvEventManager.py

def onGameStart(self, argsList):
'Called at the start of the game'

if CyGame().getWBMapScript():
if gc.getGame().isOption(GameOptionTypes.GAMEOPTION_W B_BARBARIAN_ASSAULT):
cf.addPopupWB(CyTranslator().getText("TXT_KEY_WB_BARBARIAN_ASSAULT_INTRO",()), 'art/interface/popups/Barbarian Assault.dds')
if gc.getGame().isOption(GameOptionTypes.GAMEOPTION_W B_RETURN_OF_WINTER):
cf.addPopupWB(CyTranslator().getText("TXT_KEY_WB_RETURN_OF_WINTER_INTRO",()), 'art/interface/popups/Return of Winter.dds')
else:
introMovie = CvIntroMovieScreen.CvIntroMovieScreen()
introMovie.interfaceScreen()


Removing the highlighted section will probably do the trick.

Thanks so much for your help Vehem! :)
