The 2K Games folks told me that you can't mix and match versions at all -- storebought Civ IV only works with storebought BtS. He also said that I should install BtS before patching Civ IV to version 1.74. So... more money to sink into it I suppose.

haven't gotten around to it yet, but I will certainly post something if something helpful comes out of it.

yeah, their interface there leaves a lot to be desired. Should I just try calling them?

I guess at this point I'm just supposed to give up. Do you guys regard 2kgames support at all? I thought this would be the best place to come to.

Well... both d2d and storebought BtS have done this, and I have no idea why. Any suggestions of what to do at this point? Any way to figure out what all I am missing and acquire them?

No errors there. I've found three places where there are Assets/Art/Terrain/ directories, and none of them have a subdirectory that says "lights". I don't even know which one of these it's looking under. I found TerrainLight.nif under Mods/Afterworld/Assets/Art/Terrain/Lights Like...

Yup. Only one active account on the machine, and that's the owner account. It can't open the file because it's not there.

Alright. Uninstalled everything. Reinstalled everything. And we are back to where we were before: Beyond the Sword fails on startup right after the screen resolution changes and the screen goes black. Resmgr log says it can't open TerrainLight.nif. I will attach new log files. BtS said it...

ok - As soon as trymedia teels me I'm safe uninstalling Civ4, I will give that a shot. Earlier, I had a problem with BtS being unable to recognize the version of Civ because trymedia's version was listed in the registry as 1.74.0000 instead of 1.74 or whatever. So I know to fix that right off...

I can get into the program. BtS crashed this game while I was scrolling through the leaders to choose from under Play Now. Here are the logs from that.

I didn't uninstall civ4 when I installed the new BtS. Should I try that? Let me see if I can reobtain the download files for Civ4; since I had so many problems with it, I may have hit the download limit.

Civ4 was obtained through trymedia/EBgames and installed first; it is patched to 1.74. Beyond the Sword is no longer d2d but a storebought version. It is patched to version 3.1.3.1.

At this point, I'm using Civ4 obtained through TryMedia and BtS that's store-bought. After a considerable hassle, I got Civ4 patched up to 1.74. Did those latest logs tell you anything? Is there any way you could send me a list of what all is supposed to be within the Beyond the...

Works fine.

Civ4 runs fine on its own as far as I can tell. It just let me start a custom game.
