At least for me, whenever "Lock Modified Assets" is ticked on whenever in Custom Game, the game has a CTD upon loading.
Anyone else getting this?
Anyone else getting this?
I'm getting this too - but only when the locked assets are modified. And I can load a locked file without a message when the assets match.
Bug Description
The Locked assets check is not working correctly.
Expected behavior
- After creating a game with 'lock modified assets', starting the game should give you a message stating that the assets have been locked to prevent changes. You don't get this message.
- When loading a locked-assets game, if the assets don't match, then you should get a message to that effect, and the game should return to the main menu.
Actual behavior
- Loading a 'lock modified assets' game with no changed assets results in the save being loaded - with no message.
- Loading a 'lock modified assets' game with different assets results in the 'locked assets' message, followed by a crash to desktop.
Steps to reproduce
- Start a custom game with a clean install. Select the 'lock modified assets' option.
- Launch the game. Once launched, save it.
- Load the saved game. Observe that it loads with no message about locked assets.
- Quit BTS, and open the \BTS\Assets\XML\Civilizations\ folder
- Make a copy & paste of one of the XML files (ie - to change the assets checksum)
- Start BTS and load the 'locked assets' save.
- Confirm that you get a 'assets protected' message, followed by a CTD.

You must check to be sure that the Mod is in the BTS/Mods folder and not present in the "My Games" folder. Check your My Games folder on your computer. It will probably be in a folder named whatever your username is on your computer. It is probably in the same folder as your "My Documents"
In the "My Games" folder, there should be a folder that says Firaxis or Steam, then a Folder for Civ 4 then BTS. In the BTS folder there is a Mods folder. The Mod must not be in this "My Games" folder or any subfolder of "My Games". The Mod must only be in the C:/Program Files/Firaxis/Civ4/BTS/Mods folder.
Another thing it might be is that you have the Blue Marble add-on or something else in your "Custom Assets" folder. Remove it and the game should work. Click this link to see if it matches your problem and read post #7 for the solution.

The last thing I have seen is that Norton Antivirus causes the problem and that uninstalling then reinstalling Norton fixes it. Here is a link:
