Game crashes with 3.13 (BtS)

I also tried to delete bts and reinstall, same thing as before.
Crashes a split second after opening.
 
would anyone NOT using a cracked version please open the CivilizationIV.ini in your my documents/my games/Beyond the Sword directory and set all items that have log in their name to 1.
Then start the game, after it crashes zip all files in My Games\Beyond the Sword\Logs and upload those - if possible use this thread to do so.
Also please post as many details on your system and version you can.
 
Well i have this problem with mod making, incorporating Great Doctor Mod to BtS 3.13:

I made loging and got something like that:

[192976.687] ERR: InitWinApp() failed, exiting
[192976.718] ERR: CIV Init FAILED, exiting

Without this new mod, the game runs quite smoothly.

mods are difficult - if this mod includes a .dll then it needs to be recompiled for 3.13 and that means you have to port the changes made in the various c++ files that come with the SDK into the new SDK version and then compile it - thats not a trivial task if you do not know what those changes where in the first place...
 
i had a similar problem with bts when i first installed it. several of the buttons and files didn't appear right, but i didn't crash unless i made it in a game to the industrial era.

in my case, the error was solved when i updated civ4 vanilla to 1.74, which it didn't do automatically for some reason. After that, it worked fine.

hope this helps:)
 
My game crashes few seconds after i start the game (if i put resolutuion on 1280 1024 even before game starts), i also don't have some menueas in options part(audio...)

Are you talking about Beyond the Sword, or which version?
 
please open your
my games\beyond the sword\civilizationIV.ini
and set the following items as I post them:
Code: 
; Set to 1 for no python exception popups
HidePythonExceptions = 0

; Enable the logging system
LoggingEnabled = 1

; Enable synchronization logging
SynchLog = 1

; Overwrite old network and message logs
OverwriteLogs = 1

; Enable rand event logging
RandLog = 1

; Enable message logging
MessageLog = 1
then start the game and when it has crashed please post the contents of
my games\beyond the sword\logs
as a zip file here.
Also does it give you any error message
 
My games crash at a certain point. Here is the only error I see in my logs. Is my computer missing something? I've reinstalled and end up with the same problem.

It does not crash at a specific point exactly that I can tell. I have done some tinkering with the world builder on my current game trying to figure out if it was something particular about the current game but nothing I can find makes any difference. I thought it was something else so don't have logs from other times but here is the most recent one. I can send you the saved game if you think that would help.

I'll probably start a new game this week and save the logs when that one gets stuck as well.

Thanks for any advice you might have!

I must be my computer... It just doesn't like 3.13. Everything else runs great. I was playing a new game last night with no problem. Got to year 1540AD and saved and quit for the night and shut computer down. I just booted it and loaded game. It is very sluggish for a few minutes and just crashes. The screen goes black and the monitor goes into power saving mode and I have to power the pc off and back on.

What gets me is nothing changed between last night and now. I just don't get it... I am a network administrator and deal with Linux, Most versions of Windows, and various other systems and networks and I'd like to think my trouble shootings skills are pretty good, but this just has me stumped.

I'll keep experimenting but would appreciate and pointers.

Hey, I v had some hardware issues so i could not post earlier,

I am not getting any error massages

here is the log

http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/57229/Logs.zip
 
sorry I looked at the log and then forgot to post :blush:
The log unfortunately does not contain any meaningful error apart from some sound problems (this should not cause the crash). Could you repost what exactly happens?
Did you ever post your dxdiag results here?
 
Thanks man!

When i put graphic to minimum(resolution and details) i can play a few minutes then just crashes to windows without any note. Otherwise with normal graphical settings it crashes during map starting.


I dont know what ''dxdiag result'' so can you explain
