Bizzare Error on Loading Civ4 after patching

[chrissicom]

Despite that my game didn't load before patching I get a bizzare error now. I have installed the game. Installed the patch and got a CRC error and aborted. The civilization4.exe is gone after that. Then I re-installed the patch and no CRC error was reported anymore, because civilization4.exe wasn't even there so the patch wen't through.

Now when I run CivIV my game doesn't just exit on Audio Init but I get this error:

AppName: civilization4.exe

So my best guess is that the civ4 executable from the patch is faulty??

I am having the same problem after installing the 1.52 patch I can no longer play the game.

Cannot find an un-install option for this either so guess I am going to have to re-install.

Very unhappy with this patch now
