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.
