    Hi. How did you manage to get a copy of the App Store version without downloading it from the App Store? When you install an app from the App Store normally, it is likely that it registers itself in your operating system. If you have just copied it from someone else's hard drive then that will not happen, and bad things are likely to happen.

    I am experiencing this same issue. I am unable to click on any of the menu. in addition to what he said, there id also the text at the bottom of the screen that says "InvalidVersionNumber"

    did I looked through the old lua file and can't find anything differences... I only pasted in the two dashes.

    Hi Borbby, welcome. :wavey: Which version of Civ5 are you running - Steam or Mac AppStore Campaign Edition?

    Looking at my Steam installation, it seems the MainMenu.lua file has changed and should no longer need any edits to allow the Mods button to display.

    My Campaign Edition is now way out of date, so it's possible that has changed as well.

    Hi Alan,

    I am looking for a folder ~/Library/Containers/com.aspyr.civ5campaign/Data/Library/Application Support/Civilization V Campaign Edition/MODS with no luck. There is no such container, but i have played the game.

    Could it be under different name because it was not purchased from the app store or steam? or is it compatible at all.

    Thanks,

    Ben

    It was a pirated version of the ayspr campaign edition. I'm now wondering if there is a save location for that data that is not stored in the same location.

    Hello all,

    Been a while and cracked open Civ V lately (Mac App Store version with all expansions) (purchased btw :) ) but can only play the Vanilla version, still working out a wee bit of a Mods problem.

    Have the aforementioned directory (~/Library/Containers/com.aspyr.civ5campaign/Data/Library/Application Support/Civilization V Campaign Edition/MODS/) and been trying to load up with my mods in that folder, but Civ V crashes and quits on startup. It'll play the intro vid but then dies, most horribly. Without mods in that folder, Civ V works just fine. 'tis confusing. Was working last time I played, but that was several OS updates ago. I don't believe Civ V has had an update since...

    Anyway, hoping someone else has ideas. I'll be checking versions (and report back later) and permissions etc etc etc soon.

    Just REALLY want to play that Australia Civ mod.... 8***( lol

    Hi AlanH,

    I did exactly as you said. Community Patch itself and the mods depending on it do not work. Community Patch gives an error ''This mod is not compatible with this version of game''. But other mods such as More Luxuries works perfectly. Do you know the solution?

    I believe Community Patch is a DLL mod.
