Single Player bugs and crashes v39 plus (SVN) - After the 20th of July 2019

[raxo2222]

It did not help - there is no interface. Including, for example, BUG. Tell me, in what way should the folder appear?

Mod folder name must be Caveman2Cosmos.
It can't be in My Documents.
Run as Admin

Set it up by starting a play now game. Then get out of the game and start one the way you normally would from there. That should initiate the usersettings folder properly. Once you get into the game you want to play, just make sure to review your options in the BUG settings so that you have it all setup the way you want it and it should remember it from there.

The userSetting folder is created before you reach the main menu when starting C2C, the ini files within it is created when loading a game or starting a new game, doesn't matter how you start a new game.

Mod folder name must be Caveman2Cosmos.
It can't be in My Documents.

He wouldn't be able to start the game if this wasn't true in his case.

Try setting BtS.exe to "run as administrator".

Did not help. The folder also was not created.

Nuke game completely and install it again.

This is where the problems started - I reset the system by zero (formatted all the disks). But now I’ll try to repeat it.

Install it in shorter path? Like c:\games\civ4 or something like that if you have GOG version.
Also try running in windows vista SP2 compatibility mode

@TPEHEP See if revision 11037 works for you and report back. I may have to look into what bill did in rev 11038 if 11037 works for you.

 

[Yudishtira]

Was there an extra step with (newly installed especially) Win 10 to give a program write access?

 

[raxo2222]

I loaded save without user settings (moved it ouside mod temporarily), and UI appeared correctly, though unnecessary backup was created.

It did not help, and at the same time, the loading bar remains on the screen after loading the game

Yep

 

[TPEHEP]

See if revision 11037 works for you and report back.

I do not know how to roll back versions

 

[Yudishtira]

In the right-click menu where you select "SVN Update", select instead "TortoiseSVN", and then "Update to Revision".

Rolled back to 11037, 11025, 11006 - the problem is the same. There is an interface in vanilla. It seems that the problem is in Win 10. Settings folder did not appear. Maybe someone will give me theirs, with the location path, until the problem is solved?

The lack of a UserSettings folder is a symptom, indicating that your program doesn't have write permission.

Hang on. If you don't know the location path, how do you know the folder's not there? It should be in the 'Caveman2Cosmos' directory, which should be in the Mods directory in the directory where your BeyondTheSword.exe is.

Can you upload a screenshot confirming these details are correct? And another confirming that you are running BtS as administrator.

Once all that is confirmed, if the problem persists, then there is as you say a permissions problem with Win10.

Path: \Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword\Beyond the Sword\Mods\Caveman2Cosmos
Default settings attached.

I just look at all the directories and, just in case, use the search in addition to the name

Thank you very much, but you’ll laugh, it didn’t help. Plus, the game began to crash when trying to change the resolution.

It seems that the problem is in Win 10. There was a Win 7 before.

Or a problem in the new video card (nvidia 1080ti). Tested on a previous machine (Win 7, Nvidia 960) - everything works correctly.
