Init Graphics trouble.

[moonstorm_2000]

I'm pretty sure I've installed Fall from heaven correctly, following all your instructions. I've also updated Civ IV to the most recent version (which in this case is 3.17, just released yesterday). I start the game, mod loads correctly, and I can choose a game mode and civ. When I start the actual game, however, Civ IV crashes. Everything is installed correctly (according to the installation guide) and civ is updated. The game starts loading, then Civ IV crashes when the load bar says init graphics. What's going on here?

FfH II 0.32 and earlier are not compatible with the BtS 3.17. You'll either have to reinstall 3.13 over it, or just wait for the next version of FfH. Sadly, Kael is in Utah for his job and doesn't have access to his Civ IV computer or the FfH source code at the moment. He has said that he will begin making FfH compatible as soon as he gets back. (I'm guessing that 0.33 and on will be 3.17 compatible, since he has said that he was planning on releasing a new version instead of another patch pretty soon anyway.)

thanks. Im going to see if i can install 3.13 over .17, but if i can't looks like I'll just have to wait a few until 33 comes out.

Thanks again.

I have this same problem, where the game crashes back to desktop on the 'Init Graphics' phase of setting up a new game, although I have BTS 3.13 installed.

I have just un-installed BTS, Warlords and Civ4, then re-installed civ-IV, BTS, then BTS patch 3.13 and I still get the error.

My first post for on here for this excellent mod. Having a similar problem. Ran fine on previous patch, but aftering going to 3.17 mod is broken. Have tried reinstalling, including deleting mod directory then reinstall. Oddly, my friend who was the reason to patch for multiplayer has no difficultly running FfH.

Only thing I can figure out is a shared file value is conflicting, though if the chap above me couldn't fix it with a total reinstall of all compents, well then not got a clue what to do.

Are you re-installing exactly what you used before 3.17? Or are you installing the latest patch for FfH? Anything from patch E or earlier won't work anymore.

*smiles* Thanks for pointing that out. My patch was a bit out of date, now I'm back in the game. Was missing my poor little happy meals on legs.
