The newest patch For BTS, I have installed, when I go to play online, or even just check for updates, I have a little patch not found thing, but when I go to Install the patch again, it says I have it. I've tried Uninstalling and Reinstalling multiple times...
Not Patching Correctly
- Thread starter SomeMan
- Start date
what version of the game do you have? I mean dvd or digital or complete ?
Actualy, now I have a WORSE problem, I tried Install/Reinstalling, and it had to end during the middle of Instalation, now it says it's completely installed, vut when I play it is missing EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING. all it has is the folders. Also, when I go to remove it (add or remove programs button) it pops up an Error. The Reg civ4 just pops up a Have to Close directly after I try to remove it, same thing, all the folders are empty, I've tried System Restores, but nothing works...
try all of the following that is possible (ignore the warlords stuff if you don't have it):
install the most recent version of DirectX 9c from Microsoft
then do the following for a clean reinstall:
Uninstall and Reinstall Civ4 Warlords BtS :
Try to follow this order when doing stuff:
Use Control panel to uninstall Beyond the Sword, then Warlords, then Vanilla
Delete "...\documents and settings\<username>\my documents\my games\sid meier's civilization 4" manually
Delete "...\documents and settings\<username>\my documents\my games\warlords" manually
Delete "...\documents and settings\<username>\my documents\my games\beyond the sword" manually
Delete "...\documents and settings\<username>\application data\my games\sid meier's civilization 4" manually
Delete "...\documents and settings\<username>\application data\my games\warlords" manually
Delete "...\documents and settings\<username>\application data\my games\beyond the sword" manually
Delete "...\documents and settings\<username>\local settings\application data\my games\sid meier's civilization 4" manually
Delete "...\documents and settings\<username>\local settings\application data\my games\warlords" manually
Delete "...\documents and settings\<username>\local settings\application data\my games\beyond the sword" manually
(note: application data is a hidden directory so you need to configure windows explorer to show hidden files, also these directories in application data are sometimes removed by the uninstall routine)
Delete "...\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{CFBCE791-2D53-4FCE-B3FB-D6E01F4112E8}" (Civ4)
Delete "...\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{3E4B349F-10B5-4586-9D99-489A90A8B228}" (Warlords)
Delete "...\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{32E4F0D2-C135-475E-A841-1D59A0D22989}" (BtS) (note: InstallShield Installation Information is a hidden directory so you need to configure windows explorer to show hidden files).
also before starting the reinstall start the registry editor (regedit) and delete all keys with Firaxis in their name as well as:
{CFBCE791-2D53-4FCE-B3FB-D6E01F4112E8}
{3E4B349F-10B5-4586-9D99-489A90A8B228} (IF you have Warlords)
{32E4F0D2-C135-475E-A841-1D59A0D22989}
then
Install Vanilla, immediately patch it to 1.61 (download it fresh from here)
Install Warlords, immediately patch it to 2.08 (download it fresh from here)
Install Beyond the Sword, immediately patch to 3.13 (download it fresh from here).

the thing that opens when you click on my documents or on my computer - just change the properties there 
actually those up there are the complete file paths - so just click on my computer then on local hard drive (has usually the letter C then click on e.g.
\documents and settings
then on
\<username>
then on
\my documents
then on
\my games
then delete
\sid meier's civilization 4
to take care of the first item and so on down the list. Make sure though to set the properties of windows explorer to show hidden files or else you will not find certain items

1) you can delete the folders completely.
2) what operating system are you running?

All right, I got it to the point that I can Re-Install it, but now it decides to go Non-Responsive when I put in 2nd disc... Then, what happened before happens, gotta find the stuff, go through the pain of finding everything to find out you missed something.
I assume you found out how to change the explorer properties? if not, for XP look here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/tips/hiddenfiles.mspx
now for the non-responsiveness: try copying both cds to a new folder on your hard drive and running the setup from there - afterwards just delete those files - they are not good for anything.
A fresh BtS install should be a little bigger than 1GB.

I am sorry I don't understand what you are meaning with its not dvd...
Ok, so I Installed Civ4, now on to BTS Right?
Wrong...
Right now I'm getting an error once I get to: "C:\...\..\Warlords\Assets\Sound\Diplomacy\Shaka_Late.mp3"
the error is:
Feature: NewFeature1
Component: WarlordsComponent2
File: D:\data3.cab
Error: Data error (cyclic redundancy check).

cyclic redundancy check errors have just about two causes:
1) cd drive does not work properly
2) disc is damaged
have you tried copying all contents of the cds to your hard drive and running the install from there? if the disc is damaged it won't work, if the drive is having hickups it just might. Do you have access to another computer to try if copying the files from this cd works - which would tell you for sure if your disc has a problem?
if there are no scratches on the cd it might just be dirty - try cleaning it with a soft cloth...
