Community Patch - How To Install

Requirements:
  • Civilization V (.279 version)
  • Gods and Kings Expansion
  • Brave New World Expansion
  • All Leader DLC
  • Ancient Wonders DLC
  • Windows 7-10
 
Perhaps it would be a good idea to add the year to version names. "6-19" is actually newer than "7-29" but you wouldn't know that from the names. "20-6-19" vs "19-7-29" would be a lot more clear.
 
Hello, I’ve just joined these boards. I really want to like Vox Populi but it seems any other version than 7-29 crashes whenever I make the first attack or two after declaring war. Is 7-29 the most stable? I was able to play an entire game in 7-29(some graphical glitches). Today I did a fresh install of Civ V and tried running 6-19 and crash! Same with 4-17 I believe. If it keeps up I’ll have no choice but to revert to vanilla. Thanks for any replies.
 
You really should have started a topic since this topic is for INSTALLING it. Also it would help if you listed all mods you are using and post your logs from the game.

There was a very specific and elusive bug in 6-19 which was causing CTDs in the early game (only) for some people. The devs say they managed to fix this for the upcoming August version. Just wait a couple of days - or try the April version, I think it was safe too.

When again is that August version going to be released?
 
hello, i got a problem with my new vox populi installation.

i am used to an old steam workshop version of vox populi, never had any problems with that one.
now i spent some hours trying to get the current installer version up and running, its was a pain in the ass (missing dlcs, eui troubles). finally i bought all missing dlcs and i found the eui files the installer put in a new folder on the c drive, copied them to the right location and now everything seems to be working.

one problem left: civ shows no saved games, i am unable to load any save, because nothing shows up at the loading menu (not ingame, not at the main menu, not after loading the mods)
in the save menu all the savegames are there, they also get saved to the ModdedSaves/single folder. they just dont show up in the loading menu.
 
What about other mods? Do their saves show up? Looks like a bad Civ5 install to me.

Also, there is no such thing as a Steam version of Vox Populi. There may still be a very old version of the Community Patch to be found on Steam.
 
Try complett deinstallation and then new installation of game , via steam.
Before that , unsubscribe from all mods via workshop !!

Steam version? I believe it has not been uploaded to Steam. Parts have, but usually they are not updated as a whole.

Also are new versions saved game compatible? It does sound like something went wrong in the installing of it? Did you try the auto-installer? You do need to remove any old version first.
 
Hi and thank you for this great mod. It is because of the Vox Populi mod that Civilization V remains the best 4X there is to my eyes.

AVG is identifying the latest executable as a malware and has quarantined it though.

Is there a problem with the ".exe"? Has anyone met the same problem?

According to other users in the latest beta thread, this should be a false positive. No other AVs except AVG and Avast report this.
 
Newbie here to CivFanatics and CPP/VP/CBP. I downloaded the mod about 6 months ago and I remember the games I played on it fondly. But I returned a couple days ago to try out the newest version 10.7 and have run into nothing but problems. I didn't take photos of some of the situations I ran into because it either happened once, was not able to take a screenshot or any other technical reason.
My latest issue with using the mod is just a plain a (not so) simple CTD after hitting "Play". One attempt I made where I managed to get into the game proper, the UI didn't load at all, so I couldn't give commands like settle a city or even see what unit was selected. I backed out and tried to change some things around and I got more or less the same result or worse. My latest attempt saw me actually be able to give units commands, but tooltips and different context based buttons were completely botched, showing root file names in place of actual context descriptions. I also couldn't build/produce anything with my first city, as it just showed the different classes of things to build i.e. units, building, wonders but without giving me anything to actually click on. Again I backed out and changed my approach a bit more, which was to just delete everything, start over and install the full VP file + UI using the auto installer. I thought that surely this would work since I tried so many other painstaking ways to play. But I was rebuffed with constant CTD as soon as I was done with the setup screen. Everything was pretty vanilla settings wise, I didn't use any map mods or dll files that could conflict.
I'm at a loss here with what I could potentially be doing wrong or right. I was really hoping that the auto installer would fix everything, but here I am typing away in a thread that probably isn't meant to handle this type of complaint for just a sliver of hope that I can start playing Civ 5 again.
