Any Ideas on what might cause this

[Jaxx]

What would cause bts to crash when trying loading a mod but after you close the window saying that civ has stopped working and load bts up and load the mod again it works?

This mod always fails the 1st time and always works the 2nd time. The mods name is Varietas Delectat 9.2 also every mod that I try that has VD included gives me trouble on the 1st try.

You might have a problem in CIV4GraphicOptionInfos.xml, or the Python code that calls it.

Did you do any work in the SDK for this mod?

No SDK editing for this mod. BBAI did come with 2 CvGameCoreDLL and I renamed the CvGameCoreDLL_50_Civs to CvGameCoreDLL after I put the other one in another folder for safe keeping.

How do I check and see if its a problem with my CIV4GraphicOptionInfos.xml or the Python code that calls it. Does that mean my main game maybe the part that is broken and not the mod?

No, it's the mod that's broken unless the vanilla game won't load either.

What exactly did you merge in? Is there a Civ4GraphicOptionInfos.xml file in the mod's GameInfo folder? Did you alter any of the game's options?

I just thought of something that happened to me with the game and modding a while ago: Check your .ini file for corruption.

Vanilla is fine. There is no Civ4GraphicOptionInfos.xml in my Gameinfo. Alter game options how? I did change my default res from 768 to 1080, turn graphics on high as Civ seems to think my card is below the recommended and turn off the notifications about it and skip intro. I turned on modular loading so VD would work.

Since I never like to overwrite the originals, in case I messed up I copied BBAI into a new folder and renamed it my mod and that's where I began and I copied VD into there. I copied over all the things that would not overwrite and then merged the ones that would. There were only a few
CIV4ArtDefines_Unit
CIV4EraInfos
CIV4UnitInfos

I have Next War merged now. I did change the font size in SevoPediaUnit from 4 to 3. Changed the 768 to a 1280 in SevoPediaMain to give it a longer image for when I add units. Added Basic Tech Conquest mod comp v1.2 by modifieda4. I think that is everything I've done

So at what point in your modding/merging did the game stop working?

When I combined better bug with VD but it always works the 2nd time, this includes the others with VD too. I'm going to cough it up to a win 8.1 issue as I sent my game to a friend and they haven't been able to reproduce the problem after repeatedly trying on a win 7.
