Question Marks in City Billboard

[caveman_pgh]

I recall this was discussed in another thread but I was unable to find it... I created this thread so the answer doesn't get lost for others who may have the same problem in the future.

In both the development branch and the 4.0.1 release I am seeing '?' in the city billboards instead of the expected symbols for unrest, barracks space, defense bonuses, etc. I do NOT have this issue when playing 3.0.1 on the same PC.

Mod is installed here (Steam install): C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Civilization IV Colonization\Mods
I have copied the newest versions of tbb.dll and tbbmalloc.dll into the Civ4 exe directory.

Screenshots attached, thanks in advance for the assistance!!

Did you follow these instructions ?
(If not please do so because it should fix the issue.)

[IMPORTANT] For all Steam Users: Follow these instructions to play WTP without bugs

Hi guys, today we noticed again, that some players have not yet heard about the issues in latest Steam version of Civ4Col. (It is common knowledge in the modding scene but we understand that new players might not know that.) To explain: In the latest Steam version (released years ago) GameSpy...

That fixed it!

I thought I had done this years ago but evidently not - I never play multiplayer and hadn't run into any issues to this point.

Thanks again @raystuttgart for your help (and patience)!!

Since you are talking about city billboards, what is the information they provide regarding resources? Education, Happiness, Law - understood, but what about the resources? Also, i have a "coins" symbol - what is that for?

You have a "positive Domestic Market Event" going in that City.
So the City will generate more money from Sales of Domestic Market - if the goods demanded are available.

If it shows a "Lumber Sign":
City is running out of Lumber.
