Run Civ4 as administrator, this solved the issue for me.
EmpererFool, is the logs folder in the main BTS Folder, the BAT folder in BTS/mods, or in the BAT folder in My Documents?
Could you explain why ? I'm currently running Civ4 & BAT 3.01 on Win7x64 without elevated rights and it works fine, should I run it as admin ?Always, always, always (!), run Civ4 as administrator in Windows 7/Vista.
Hmmm. Well , it does happen occasionally. The closest I've come to figuring it out was a hiccup in the sound settings. It seems to depend on how the system sound is set, and how big the map is. We don't know why it happens, sorry.Its version 3.0.1 im using.
The reason that I have that particular mantra is that in most cases, Civ and BTS will install to the User folders, under a hidden folder called AppData. This folder often requires a program to have elevated privileges in order to make writes to the folder. If you have Civ installed somewhere else, you don't need to elevate. When I used to hang out in the Tech forum, it was one of the number one problems with Vista users, and Win 7 can have the same issue with a default install. YMMV, but for most Vista/Win 7 users, running the game with elevated permissions saves a lot of Tylenol consumption.Could you explain why ?

I may be wrong but IMO as long as you never run the game as admin you should not have any problem.The reason that I have that particular mantra is that in most cases, Civ and BTS will install to the User folders, under a hidden folder called AppData.

Like I said, YMMV. I just got tired of fighting UAC. Even though I've disabled it, I still elevate almost everything. I suppose I'm just a control freak.I may be wrong but IMO as long as you never run the game as admin you should not have any problem.
Civ4 needs to access some stuff in "Users\<userName>\AppData\Local\My Games\Beyond the Sword". These files/folders are created/managed by the game so there is no need for elevated privileges. However if you run the game at least once as admin, these files will then require admin rights to access so you are screwed. But you probably should not do that in the first place.
I downloaded and unzipped it.
