Not till after the New year by a week or 2. Almost all of the "Team" is on Holiday and Strategyonly had a death in the family (his Mother).
@ruslankv,
Have tried the 12-16-2011 .dll patch found in the patch thread? If you are playing the main v19 download and Not the SVN you need that patch. Look for post #94 in the Patch Thread and follow the link. It might help.
Also are you playing in English?

Will this fix be included in v20?

The patches are taken from the fixed beta (SVN) versions as is the release version so yes it will be in the next release.

I just downloaded this the other night and it is great. Loads up much faster than AND too. I'm having fun with it for sure trying to figure out what to do next. About the only "trouble" I'm having is getting my tail beat by the ai on noble difficulty. I'm miles behind them and am sitting in last place. I'll learn how to play it though. Great job on the mod guys.

Same here
. i [play on Noble/Epic, but use Flexible Difficulty also, just incase.If you think its bad now, wait till you hit the Renaissance Era, you'll really get your butt whipped, no offense. Then the whole vassal thing takes effect and you have like three to four civs coming after you. Your fighting with Grenadiers and they have TANKs

I started this game in the ancient era by mistake and am playing marathon speed. It would be even worse, but the Mongolians got kicked out by not being in the top 5 leaving me alone on my continant. I think I have 1 or 2 wonders out of about 50 that have been built so far.

Big thanks to the whole C2C team. This mod has rekindled my interest in SP Civ4.
Great work.
Great work.
I recommend using the latest patch linked in this post:
http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=11129359&postcount=94
It will both fix a CTD issue that can happen quite often and it enables C2C to produce a minidump on a crash. This minidump file which appears on a crash in the folder with your BtS exe can help me find and fix crashes that happen even if they are not reproducable.
I was really excited to try this patch. I've had a little difficulty "unraring" it. It appears to be the same file I already have in this folder (dated 11/23) rather than the 12/16 date that is specified.

I must be doing something wrong because the game won't even load up now.

Unrar the new .dll outside of the game path. Then remove the .dll in the Beyond the Sword\Mods\Caveman2Cosmos\Assets file. Next copy the unrared .dll file to the Assets folder.
Don't place the unrared .dll in the Assets folder and then unrar there, especially if the old .dll is still there.

What you described is exactly what I did. I haven't added any other patches to the original mod that I downloaded -- should I have done something else first?
Also, the original dll file and the new one are exactly the same size. That seems odd to me, but maybe it's supposed to be that way.

No that should've worked.
Is the Path you posted in your Main Program files ( i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\Caveman2Cosmos\Assets or in My Documents? This is mine since I have a x64 OS )
If it's in the same path as I posted, try starting an new C2C game. And once the mod starts to load hold down the Shift key until you see the C2C splash screen. This clears the cache to eliminate conflicts between an older and newer version.

My game's path is:
N:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\Caveman2Cosmos\Assets
I'll try the Shift key.
EDIT: I'm in now. We'll see how it goes. I'll let you know.
EDIT 2: Got a run time error before it finished loading up -- two times now.

What are your specs on your PC, ie: graphics card type, Windows, XP, Vista, 7 etc, all the good info pls.
He'll probably need the /3GB switch, i specifically had fricken RUNTIME errors until I activated it. If you google /3gb you'll find easy instructions, assuming your an XP user, i think the vista way is even easier. Otherwise, they'll tell you to reinstall your graphics and check your DirectX, but after all that it was just the /3gb ram switch that fixed it for me.
Thanks for your replies, guys. I'm guessing it's a RAM issue. I got the game running and then it crashed after about 45 minutes of game play. I have Windows XP, NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS, 3.2 Ghz Pentium, 2.0 GB of RAM.
I did buy and install some extra RAM (2 GB) and did use the /3GB switch. That's when I found out that XP doesn't even recognize much over 3 GB of RAM. I didn't notice a difference so I removed the RAM.
I am certainly open to suggestions on the best way to improve my system becasue I'm sure that there's others of you who've been through this before. Civilization is my favorite game.
Incidentally, ROM/AND runs very well on this configuration. Is this a much bigger application?
