Community Patch - How To Install

For Community Patch only, use the latest EUI version (1.29h).
For full VP, use the one bundled in the installer.
 
Hi everyone. I am trying to install the latest version (1.0.3) using the automatic installer after reinstalling the base game and during the installation I get the following Error message:

"C:\Users\xxxxx\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\(1) Community Patch\Core Files\CoreLua\EventChoice.mp3
An error occurred while trying to rename a file in the destination directory:
MoveFile failed; code 5.
Access Denied."

There's the option to either Try Again, Skip this file (not recommended), or Cancel Installation.

When I skip the file, the same error message appears a few seconds later for the file: "C:\Users\xxxxx\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\(1) Community Patch\Modules\MoreGP\Extra_GPs_items\M_010.mp3"
Then again for files "C:\Users\xxxxx\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\(1) Community Patch\Modules\MoreGP\Extra_GPs_items\M_020.mp3", "....030.mp3" etc.

Is there a way to fix this? Thanks a lot.

Edit: The same thing happens when I try installing version 1.0.1
 
Is there a way to actually see/verify somewhere that what I had installed is 1.0.3 version? Some file to check or something?
Also, on the installer I see 1.0.2 version so just wondering if this as it should be? This is the file dloaded from the google drive link

It should be in the file that describes the mod and list the references and dependencies. It is the file that contains the text that you see in the mod list in the main menu.
 
Hi, I have installed the last Community Patch version (September 3, 2021) and the game crashes while AI Germany turn. I don't know how to fix these bugs :crazyeye: I have read it is possible to guess how to fix bugs with the lua log file, so I attach it if anyone can help me. Thanks :thumbsup:

Does the installation go same way in both cases if you have previous version already installed and when you don't have any version installed?

And what about case when you have some of the previous versions installed but they have never worked at all?

The automatic installer should work regardless of the previous install.

Also: Tervetuloa Vox Populin pariin, valmistaudu unohtamaan yöunet ja normaali elämä

Sorry for finnish sentence

The never working issue, if you could provide more information the VP people are often happy to help :)

Actually most versions do work for a great majority of users, so I'd suspect some kind of mistake on your end. Nobody knows which one...
I think, it cannot be bad to remove all mods completely, including old VP versions. Unsubscribe from all mods on Steam as well.
Make sure you have the proper version of BNW installed with all necessary components. You should find the information in OP here.
If BNW works well use the VP installer for latest version. Don't use additional mods at first... Good luck!
 
The problem might be that I have Steam and Civ installed on different drives... I installed Steam to D drive to save space in hopes to install all games also to D but it seems to force install all games to C. Can this cause issues?

I will unsubscribe from all other mods to see what happens.

Also I don't have scrambled map pack? I think it is not required however.

Thanks for the words in my native Emperorman1

As the installer for version 1.0.1 is still b̶u̶g̶g̶e̶d̶ limited if the game is installed on a drive other than c: I would like to share the following workaround so that you dont have to copy files manually after each update:

mklink /J "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\Assets\DLC" "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\Assets\DLC"

Verify that the paths are correct for your system, and run this command as administrator.

This resolves issues with Vox Populi when you get errors like:

"Unable to load textures [DC45_DiplomacyOverview.dds]"
"Unable to load textures [DC45_AdvisorCounsel.dds]"

This one may help, because I installed on different drives as well and used symbolic links like that, and it works well.

VP runs fine on my machine, except that - after exiting to Windows - if I try to run Civ 5 again, I get a message saying it is already running; if I go into Steam, it still shows as running.

Is there a fix for this (other than restarting my machine)?

Edit: Never mind, verifying integrity of game files fixed this.

Exactly I have had this issue in my last couple of games. It is not the game itself, but the startup popup message that come sof when you start the game. It causes an issue when closing the game.
 
Since VP and its community is still alive and running, I figured I share some of its problems on my end

I installed full VP (1.0.3) with EUI, and the issue I've gotten is the cityview bug. I can't pick any production at all from a certain city. I've uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times, deleted the cache, removed mods from the /MODS folder to install them again, and nothing has changed during those times. I'll provide the Lua file on here to see if anyone has the same problems.

What is the recommended difficulty level for this mod? (as far I understand there is a better AI in this mod).
What are the main changes of this mod?
 
UI got bug - unable to load texture

"Unable to load textures [DC45_DiplomacyOverview.dds]"

"Unable to load textures [DC45_AdvisorCounsel.dds]"

"Unable to load textures [DC45_Greatworks.dds]"

"Unable to load textures [DC45_Culture.dds]"

"Unable to load textures [DC45_EspionageOverview.dds]"

"Unable to load textures [DC45_TopPanelGoldenAge.dds]"

"Unable to load textures [DC45_MenuButton.dds]"

"Unable to load textures [DC45_HelpButton.dds]"

How do I resolve this?
I seems that automatic installer copies files to the wrong folder.
