The usual problem behind what dmd175 describes is that beyond the sword needs administrator rights to create the userSettings folder on some system.
Try locating your Civ4BeyondSword.exe file, right click it, select properties, and check the run as administrator box there.
Good idea, not often do I like to use try-except (very slow in python), but in this case it makes sense to raise a proper error message as it's a user problem we can't really fix unless we remove the ability to create folders when needed.

It is strange as that's how my comp is setup too, but I don't run the game as admin though C2C work flawlessly for me.
Maybe there's a difference in windows operating systems, I have win 10 proffesional.
Have you installed beyond the sword on your system drive perhaps, I suspect there are additional layers of permission security on the drive that windows itself is installed on.
Extraction of v40 didn't work until the third download - tried an EU mirror
I then followed v40 instructions - saved a game, restarted, custom game, etc.
Now it runs, but every turn log (middle top of screen) is populated with multiple of these errors:
"Error in windowActivation event handler <bound method BugEventManager.onWindowActivation of <BugEventManager.BugEventManager instance at 0x0EF300F8"
Probably not a bug, but why does the game freeze for a couple seconds the end turn before you produce a GP?
I'm using "save time by stilling graphics" option, but that's not the reason, because the freeze happens even during otherwise unambiguously short turns.
Like, if the total wait time is 10 seconds, the turn in question would be 15, even though the turn afterwards will drop to 10 no prob.
It's obvious that the wait is directly related to producing the GP.
It is also a very clearly new thing, because I don't recall anything similar before v.40, if not even later.
And I don't want to upload saves, because that's not the issue - it's something in the math logic within, not something I chose to happen through options.
OR you can use any other save I had uploaded before, because this is a global thing.
Oh, one more question.
What does "double culture in 1000 years" mean PRACTICALLY?

Last time this was mentioned as suspect on Discord, it was shown to have no impact under deeper analysis. The issue was always something else causing it. Something more usual to other delays that sometimes happen.
Thanks! Hopefully this will stop the same issues that Diablowagner has, had. Works great, except it kept crashing, mostly during auto-save, but not always. Otherwise it's a nice, great I should say, improvement over V39.
Bless you all, all the mod makers, tweakers, and full cast.
Buildings without tech requirements aren't listed in era (building) subcategories - maybe @Toffer90 can change it so buildings like alpha male would appear in Prehistoric category.
Alternatively no era category could be added.
EDIT: Camp Narwhal requires Sailing tech - its in ANCIENT era.
Yeah, I found out. Started up SVN, and have now played numerous turn past the crash.
I'm just wandering - will features be added to SVN continuous, so that suddenly new concepts appear in my save games? Or is it just bug fixes etc.?

C2C v. 40 (release), Civ Megapack with no fictional Civs. I came back after a long break (I am addicted to the Megapack, so I used the opportunity to play C2C again with the reuploaded one).
1. The only Advisor window I can open is the Scientific one (F6). In particular, I cannot open the Civic advisor (F3) to adjust my government options. When I started a previous game with the SVN version, I could not open the Scientific advisor but perhaps I could open some other one(s).
I play with Developing Leaders/No negative traits/No positive traits/Pure traits. I think I have achieved the culture level required to get a trait (3600+, the slowest game speed) but I have got no such opportunity. When I check the other Civs, it seems they need 3600 culture but none of them have achieved this yet.
Maybe I will start a new game with the option "modules" set to 0 and I check if the bug is still present.
