Can't play

Thats very odd. Do the rest of the BtS scenarios work?
All work except Final Frontier, which the same thing happens. I play FfH2 on vanilla Civ4 with out trouble. I have turned on the option to show python erros but nothing there, just the crash to desktop and the prompt to send an error report to Microsoft.
I've tried different video drivers (GeForce 6600) but outside of that not sure what to try.
BTW, FfH2 is great!

Good to know, thanks. Hopefully this all gets worked out once 3.13 releases.

I am running vanilla civ4 with just the main patches 1.61 & 1.74 -should I just reinstall civ4 no patches and just install the basic ffh2023c only?
Yes. It looks like oyu may also need to update your directx drivers (the 1.74 Civ4 patch made the latest DirectX drivers a requirement).

I'm also having trouble getting Fall from Heaven: Age of Ice to work with my new copy of Civ 4 Beyond the Sword. Mine crashes civ completely once I get to the opening slideshow. Every time, it just freezes there, then quits to desktop. Any ideas?
I know there is a fix for Vista users coming in patch 0.13. Are you using Vista?

Do you have the latest patches? I see a lot of people mention their game crashing, and I have the problem every now and then myself. The majority of the time though my game only crashes after playing a long time or because I tend to play on huge maps on marathon speed and there seem to be some memory issues associated with BTS. Granted I'm playing on version 24 rather than the Age of Ice mod, but I would think any problems for one would also be present in the other.
I definitely recommend patch 3.03 followed by Solver's unofficial patch. That's how my game is patched and like I said, I don't get a lot of crashes and when I do I think it's memory related, and I'm using 2 GB of DDR2.
On that subject, do you have enough memory?

I get the same thing. The game starts and tries to show the slideshow?/movie? and then crashes to the desktop. This is the only scenario/mod that doesn't work. I have the latest, BTS patch, v. 3.13. Any suggestions?

Isn't there an option to skip the slideshow IIRC? That slideshow always gave crashes with me too.
