[Civ2] Base Game+Map Crash

[Xineoph]

So, I noticed a few things.
When I mount an ISO with MGE, I can get the game to work with zero issues. However, and if I try to make a map and set a resource seed, Map Application crashes.
I wondered if it was related to the ISO, so I tried a rip of the game instead, and with or without UIA, I can't get the game to work.


Now I imagine whatever is preventing the Civ2Map Resource Seed function from working also prevents Civ 2 from working in general when I don't mount the ISO, but I'm not sure how to fix. Any suggestions in general?
I use Win10 x64

Please, use 64-bit Editbox Patcher on Civ2Map.exe.

Thank you! It fixed the Civ2Map problem and I can now set a resource seed, but on no-CD mode it did not fix the issue, with or without trying to use UIA

Here is the minimum required set of files for playing without CD:
