Loading mod - Steam "Failed to start game (app already running)"

[ChrisShaffer]

When I try to load a mod, Civ closes and attempts to restart. Steam then throws an error "Failed to start game (app already running)." The same thing happens if I load a save file that requires a mod that isn't currently running.

I know I can edit the ini file to preload the mod, but I'd like to find a cleaner solution. Is there any way to slow down the Steam restart so that it can properly close the app prior to relaunching Civ?

have you found a solution for this?
