'Configuring Game Data Please Wait' then crashes

[GMO]

After the latest Civ5 update, when I try to start my saved modded game I get the message 'Configuring Game Data Please Wait', then after about 20-30 seconds the game crashes.
Has anyone else having this problem?

Thanks.

During that step, it is loading the mods (XML, etc). The mod may need updated for the patch. Can you list the mods that you are using?

I'm using quite a few mods.
They are:
Ancient Mediterranean Civs GK v1
Ancient Mediterranean Civs Greek Epic GK v7
Canadian Civ GK v8
Classical Espionage v3
DLL-Various Mod Components GK v14
Luddition Progression v1
Minor Civs v1
More Active Religions v2
Pirate Civ Lite v1
Reform & Rule v30
The Goths GK v16.

Everything worked ok before the Civ5 update.

Thanks.

the dll mods will need to be updated to be compatible with the new patch, you'll have to wait for the release of the source code first before being able to continue that game.

It's the DLL-Various Mods mod that is doing it. Happened to me yesterday. Just undo that mod and you'll sail through. It needs updating after the last steam patch.

Is this crashing happening with all DLL mods? If so, does anyone have the source code to this DLL? I'd like to track down the exact reason why it's crashing.

I'm using DLL - Various Mod Components.
I disabled it and it got past the 'Mods/Next' point (which is where it crashed before) but now it crashes at the 'Load' point.

What mods are you using?

Only a few:

Infoaddict (v.19)
ingame Editor (v.36)
Tectonic Map Script (v.3)

"Civ IV Diplomatic Features" is using a modded DLL.

Happening to me too.
RED Xtreme for WWII (enabled)
RED WWII Edition (enabled)
RED WWII Data Files (enabled)
Really Advanced Setup
Ingame Editor
Eras-Modern Age
Eras-Atomic Age
Age of Imperialism

How do I know which mods use a modded dll?

Disable them all and then re-enable one at a time, see which one breaks it.

go in the mods folder ("\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\"), search for "*.dll" in all subfolders, look for those containing a file namedCvGameCore_Expansion1.dll.

In your case it's RED WWII Edition.

Thanks guys. RED WWII is the best mod out there. What a bummer.

I'll update it ASAP when the new source code is available, and dshirk have also said in another thread that the code will be released next week with BWN, so I hope that you won't have to wait for too long

Damn, I knew I shouldn't start game with Ynaemp DLL (v 2) mod right before the patch.
