Hello,
not a best way to start posting on a forum, but I've been following that for a quite some time and recently came to a point, where I'm really annoyed.
First problem is connected straight with Justinian - whenever I would choose him as my leader or leave AIs random (so they can take Justinian), game crashes. Crashes immediately when I choose him and, if i use other leader, whenever I meet him. That was solved by simply 'randomly' taking AIs leaders and avoiding him, but here comes second problem.
Today I've been playing for a some time with Catherine hemispheres game with 8 AIs and everything went just fine - saved that around 1860 AD (prayed for Justinian not to arrive when I made my colony overseas) and wanted to came back it just a moment ago. Same problem appeared. Game loads, I could hear the background music for a while (like 2-3 secs) and game exits to the desktop.
I've tried reinstalling the game, updating my graphics card drivers - nothing seems to work. System configuration as follows:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+
4 GB RAM DDR2
NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
SoundBlaster Audigy
Windows 7 64-bit Professional

As I've found, there is a PythonErr2.log file, which ends with load_module CvAppInterface line - can't find any error messages there. Same goes with other files there, such as init.log, resmgr.log and xml.log. It's BTS 3.19 version.

Problem does not appear on my WinXP IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad R61i notebook. Any help would be really appreciated.
 
I was able to solve this by myself and will write it here, as it might be a solution for others as well. The only possible way to do that is by downgrading the drivers to the version of 260.99 or earlier. Problem with Windows7 is that it often downloads some crap drivers for this video card, which can cause massive problems (like me having blue screen each time I wanted to turn this on, after some stupid updates). This will work though only with disabled Windows Update.
 
hey. check my thread if you could please.
I wonder if my problem is related to yours, its not the same, but could be similar.
My thread is in the Civ4 -Bug reports, regarding problem with mouse cursor. I call it ghost cursor, cus its there, not visible, in game.
