Known Issues:
1. "GFC error: failed to initialaize the primary control theme" error loading the mod. You will recieve this error if FfH isn't installed in the correct location (under Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods). If you don't have Civ4 installed to that location just make sure the FfH is installed in the same directory as Final Frontier, Age of Ice and the other mods that came with BtS. Also make sure you have installed the full mod and not just the patch.
2. The mod loads okay, but when you go to start a game it crashes. You experience this error if you aren't running BtS patch 3.13.
3. If your units look okay when moving but turn back to normal civ4 units when standing still its because you have "Freeze Animations" turned on in your game options.
4. You get an ERA_ORDE error when you try to start the mod. This means you haven't installed the full mod, only the patch. You need to download and install the full mod.
5. Vista users have reported crashes if they have UAC (User Account Control) enabled.
6. You can't group Hidden Nationality units (would cause CtD's if we allowed it).
7. Racial models (orcs, elves, etc) aren't displayed in the bottom left unit window. Unfortunatly that is coming from the graphics engine and we don't have the ability to intercept and fix it.
Reporting Issues:
I have five requests before you report issues:
1. I dont expect anyone to read the whole thread. But please read this post and see if your issue is addressed in apatches you don't have applied, or in a patch that hasn't been released yet.
2. Please don't report cosmetic issues here, use the cosmetic issues thread for that.
3. Please don't "chat" in this thread. I hate it when real bug reports get lost in other posts, so please try to keep this thread as on task as possible (just for bug reports) and I will try to make sure everything mentioned here gets resolved.
4. Please don't report issues for other mods in this thread, even FfH modmods.
5. If you are noticing an issue please make sure you have python popups enabled so we can see what the real error is. To enable python popups in your CivilizationIV.ini change:
