Today, June 16th, 2012, I ended Steam.exe in Windows Task Manager (Go to Run and type in taskmgr.exe and hit enter) under Processes. Then I tried Steam again and it worked perfectly. Also it verified with no errors.
----------------------------
I tried verifying the game cache, but that didn't work at all. It just gave me more seconds before crapping out. So I verified it again. This time "1 files" instead of "34 files" had problems. Did. Not. Work. This time is the third! I got: the same file was broken. The only file responsible for my pain and misery refuses to fix itself. Why, now, on the day I planned for making this mod work. I feel like quitting, and just uploading my mod to mediafire and hoping that no one steals it and has the kind heart to test it out and tell me if the textures worked. But I really don't want the first mod I ever made for anything to be stolen, so I'll see if I can find more solutions or wait it out. I still encourage fellow Civ fans to double-verify the integrity of your caches if you have problems UNRELATED TO PREVIOUS SAVE FILES. This is a common error with this mod, it's a hard pill to swallow, but it could be worse. You could be the poor saps who have crashes at startup. Which is not supported well by 2K unless you DXDiag for them.
Now it says all files have been verified. It still crashed.
Please read the entire thread before troubleshooting me. I put a special bold section for anyone trying to help me fix this incase it somehow relates to me.
I think its very obvious it broke the save game and crashes often.
But I have a bigger issue for modders.
Me:
Gee, I can't wait to finally try this new Civ! I hope I got the textures right!
As soon as I hit the MODS button on the Main Menu, the music stuttered and as far as I can tell the game performed an action that crashed it seconds later.
Why do I think it was on purpose, or related to 'MODS'? This patch added Steam Workshop support. The same window that let me test my new mod also housed the Mod Browser service, which may have been taken down or altered to work with Steam better.
Also, I could still select my mod and hit the button to load it by the time it 'stops working'. If it was a real crash it would have most likely immediately halted or screwed up. This one gave me a few seconds after the music skipped before everything died. The exact amount of time most actions have delay for me during a standard game.
I'm not saying its on purpose, or that its not just me. I'm saying MODS may be broken right now, and we as a community need to test this, rather then make several threads about the same issues.
That's my biased report on mods being broken for me. Now for bold because I'm feeling irate and I hate stupid questions.
The mod in question, Larry Page of YouTube, has not been uploaded to the Mod Browser OR Steam Workshop. It was still in testing, it still is, and was built and rebuilt in the latest Mod Buddy IDE, the one made after the patch. It was the only mod in my data, all the others were destroyed after the patch because I didn't use them. But I did keep Queen of Iceni for reference in a SEPERATE folder.
tl;dr: I said read the entire post, that paragraph in eye-hurting bold text is the most important.
This means that the only mod there was made for Civ V, on the latest patch, and was the only mod there. This is not my fault.
Ask and ye shall receive more details.
