Patch 674: Offline + Mods = CRASH

If CivV/Steam is offline and you enter the Mod Browser screen (the one with the "GET MODS" button and the list of installed mods) even if you don't click the "GET MODS" button the background task (being unable to access the internet) will eventually crash CivV.

The two files attached overwrite their counterparts in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\sid meier's civilization v\assets\UI\FrontEnd\Modding" and fix this problem.

After copying the files, the Mod Browser screen starts in "offline" (safe) mode.

If you are really online, click the "Start Workshop" button (the old "GET MODS" button) which will start the background task and change the button to "GET MODS" - you can then proceed as normal. Should you click the "Start Workshop" button while offline CivV will crash a random amount of time later.

The dev team at Firaxis are aware of this issue.

If I'm offline and try to set up a game under "Mods" (Terra, Europa, etc. maps) then Civ crash. If i'm online then Civ runs ok. I´m "glad" I'm not the only one.

So i'm not the only one crashing? i cleared the steam cache and still crashes. i cleared steam and deleted Civ 5 cache see if i can "finish" the game...hoping that works...but this becoming annoying.

last save i have is at 63rd turn "saved every 3 turns"
To note i'm online while playing a modded game. Still crashing mainly before turn 100.
still crashing...Really hope they fix this soon...i would love to beat the game atleast.

This bug has apparently been fixed in HotFix/Patch 705

"•If a player has Steam in "offline mode", and clicks on Mods, into the modding area and then backs out, the game could crash. This is now corrected."

My Steam is online, I've added the above files and yet it still crashes when I click Get Mods. It's so frustrating . Any help is very welcome.

You shouldn't need the fix here if your game is patched.

Ah - all sorted. I managed to fix it seemingly by restarting Steam offline and then going back online. Instead of crashing it decided to behave and install the waiting mods. Thanks!

Where are the attached files? I don't see them im new

latest version is 1.0.2.42, so files for 1.0.1.674 are no longer relevant

hey dude, this may seem silly but where do i download this patch of yours?

Very. Given my previous reply in the immediately prior post to yours to exactly the same question!

this is stupid... I can't find your patch and the problem is not with me because I'm the third one who can't find it... so could you be more clear and just give us that patch

Hi to everyone,

I have been experiencing crashes which are becoming more frequent while playing Civ 5 Gods & Kings Edition with Mods.
I cannot figure out what causes them but it completely eliminates all the fun I get out of this game.
Sometimes it crashes to desktop during the game, and most recently, after I save and exit the game, I cannot load back my saves because of this problem - it instantly crashes back to desktop with the following error on display:

"Runtime Error!

Program: ...common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\CivilizationV_DX11.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information."


I have read this and other related treads and at one point it has been suggested to post the .mdmp files to help. So, I have zipped it and posted it online with the following link:

http://rapidgator.net/file/960621829e55e2862b12ef92f46043ba/Civilization_V_-_G&K_Crashes.rar.html

I would appreciate if someone from the forum can help me to resolve this problem.

Thank you.

Also experiencing this problem with mods. Game begins to crash after turn 1000 or so, gradually begins crashing more and more frequently, on turn 1500 or so and it's crashing about every 3rd turn. I've read from other players it will soon become unplayable and crash every turn.

Is this a mod incompatibility issue, or a specific mod problem, or a problem with Gods and Kings?

AFAIK Civ 5 has never been stable since launch. The reasons vary. Do we lock threads here? This looks like a good candidate to let die a slow death.
