Hello, I'm pretty new around here and have been busy reading all the great info in the forums and I was really excited to start my first BOTM game to learn more. The Buffy mod was giving me fits though as I couldn't get it to play nice with my Civ Complete version I got from Steam. As I couldn't find the answers I needed here (the Vista fixes posted didn't work), I contacted Steam and thought I'd share the fix I used.
When I gave all the Civ 4 games administrator privileges the game would not open. I would get a window from Steam saying that the game was not available. So I thought I wasn't going to be able to submit games for the BOTM through Buffy.
So if anyone is having the same problem...what you have to do is make sure that you completely exit the steam application. Right click it from your system tray and click exit. Then go find the steam app in the program folder and change that to run as administrator. Voila' it will run and you won't get the error message that games will not be eligible for the BOTM.
I don't think this has been addressed yet so I just thought I'd put this out there. I know I've been playing around and searching for a fix for a couple of days now. I'm running Vista SP2 64bit.
Now, on to conquer and pillage!
