I can load up v39 fine, but whenever I replace it with the current github version, I get a bunch of XML errors. Are installations instructions different between both versions or is the github version missing an essential component for it to run on Steam?
 
It works on steam, but have a bit different install instruction.

1. Clone the repository from git into any folder on your computer, but not in the BtS mods folder.
2. If you have a version of C2C in your BtS mods folder, rename it to something other than Caveman2Cosmos.​
3. Inside your local clone, find and run DevSetup.bat. The bat have enough instructions for you to figure out the rest.
4. Run the game the way you usually run it.
 
The SVN version is the recommended one for non devs. We deploy there very regularly (after most changes), and it won't require you to build anything yourself, and will include the fastest DLL build, and will provide a small layer of insulation for you against bad commits. It is also more useful for us as the crash dumps are correctly labeled.

There really is no reason for non-devs to be on the git version. Of course if you are a dev then disregard this!
