3.13 - Game crashes after start up.

Yes, that turns on most logging. There are a few other logs you can enable, but I don't think they'll be relevant here.
The logs themselves are stored in "My Documents\My Games\Beyond the Sword\Logs". You can view them with a standard text editor. The init.log file would probably be the first one I'd check. On the off-chance it's Python related, you could check those logs as well.

Ok everything's works! I first tried to paste the original exe and launch the game with the dvd and it's works without crash, so my problem was not linked with the game, but with the crack (which was apparently updated when i slept :x).
Thanks for the patch

Not sure if I'm posting the right information but I hope it helps, the 1st one is from a previous save game, the 2nd one is for a new game, both crashed BTS and I returned to the Desktop.
Their both Custom games, They take less time to launch then play now then I generally keep most of my settings the same.

Ok, since it appears at least some people who were having the problem were using a crack... Anyone not using a crack have this issue?
@kniteowl: Can you zip up your log files? I'll take a look at them and see if I can find anything that'd point to the crash cause.

Using a no-disk crack and I have the said problem, game craches at a main screen a second after loading. Here are my logs.

I couldn't find this expansion in the shops here. I've ordered it on the net, but it still hasn't arived, although it's been over two weeks.
It is not my desire to avoid paying Firaxis for the fine job they've done, I'm simply impatient. It is very rarely that I have time to play and this weekend was marked for that. Next oportunity will not come soon.

Yeah, I found the symptom of the problem. Not sure of the cause. Basically, your init.log file shows:
It should be showing:
So for starters you've got the wrong filename. You've also got the wrong version, and the wrong build date. I don't know why you've got those, you'll need to look into that.

Code:

[44368.546] VERSION: Build: Sun Jun 24 00:49:44 2007
[44368.546] VERSION: 3.0.0.86 (74099)
Code:
[303299.296] VERSION: App: D:\Program Files\Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Civ4BeyondSword.exe

There are at least two other people who posted different build versions here with June 24 as their build date - maybe the patch either does not install completely or there was a situation were the wrong patch was online?
Does uninstalling,reinstalling an downloading the patch again solve this problem?
Edit:
Actually the different version was:
Civ Version 313
Save Version 301
Build Version 3.0.0.91
Build Date Thur Jun 28
(here and here
)I'd imagine a full re-install should fix the problem. By skipping the intermediate patches and going straight to 3.13, you should avoid whatever caused the incorrect version in the first place.
I must admit I'm more curious, at this point, as to why the filename was different.

Does anyone know if 3.13 is working WITH a mod WITHOUT the crack?
I'm a crack user too and it works fine for me until I try to play/start with a mod (always use Revolution Mod).
EDIT: original mods are working. activating "next war" works fine for me. revolution mod not.

I have had no trouble with BtS patched to 3.03, but when I applied 3.13, the game does not start at all. Just a one-second hour glass after I click on the icon, then nothing.
I never use mods or any unauthorized software.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled about five times now with the same results. (BTW, is there a way to uninstall only the patch?)
I'm attaching a zip of my Logs folder with post-patch files (the included "Copy of..." files are the respective files before the patch). I also included my DxDiag.txt file.
Please help me, Obi-wan!

It does not seem as if the patch was installed at all:
Code:
[12931.812] VERSION: App: C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Civ4BeyondSword.exe
[12931.812] VERSION: Build: Wed Aug 08 14:01:07 2007
[12931.812] VERSION: 3.0.3.1 (77541)I hate to say this: have you tried uninstalling everything and reinstalling both Vanilla and BtS?
