Solution for XML problems (German or (EU) version on US Windows)

Update your directX

See one of the stickied threads in this forum for more information.
 
thanks for the tip, I found the english version and downloaded that, but still nothing, still getting "This application has failed to start because D3DX9_32.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Any other ideas? Although, I'm not 100% sure I installed the 9c in the correct place.

welcome to cfc :band:

but without information there won't be help :)
 
Well I installed everything with xml things and that hasnt done anything.
I tried to uni-install it and it will not let me.
Earlier today I had to install it maybe 5 times over and over to get it to finally stay on my computer. I have no clue what this was about but after I would save my game and close it out, the files went away and I had to re-install.

I went and changed the language and dots in the control panel/language thing.

I just really want to play my game ;-;
 
I know everyone is freaking out about the XML errors and are putting there problems in to try to get this mess sorted out. however after reading all these posts i don't seem to find anything to help me. My thing crashes without an error message or anything during the setup at the beginning but not at the audio part or when it is checking the XML but when it is trying to Init XML (uncached). I been researching and trying to fix it using suggestions people have posted but nothing changes it. it still crashes at the same place. please help. lol i am about to murder people over this.
 
I don't know if this is related to the XML errors already mentioned but here's my problem. I'm running Civ 4 v. 1.74 on Windows XP Sp2 with an Nvidia 8500 vid card. The game used to work but I took it off a while ago. Now it doesn't work and I get a huge amount of XML errors at the init XML (uncached) stage of the initial load. Here are the errors i get.


XML Error:

I get about 5 of the second last error and 20 of the last one.
Ne ideas about the errors and how to fix them would be greatly appreciated. :goodjob:

Hey ive had this problem now for a few days one my new pc, regular civ works but BTS doesn't

On my old comp it worked fine, i have vista on my new one (if that matters)

At the end it says "allocating zero or less memory"

I have 350gbs of free space on my drive though.


Any help is appreciated
 
HELP ME PLZ!!! if anyone knows wat i have to do to fix this problem plz help me... i got the patch 1.74 and had the error and then i installed directx and got rid of the dcxl... (don't remember) now when i try to start it up i get a message like this ( it is in the attached file... have no clue how to make it show on this message) (it is at the other tread that i just start... link http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=7221861#post7221861 )
 
I have an XML problem. it says that it can't read spanish XML or whatever, and then Hannibal turns into txt_leader_hannibal and cities become txt_cityname_whatever. help!
 
Usually when I start the game, about 6 usually of these messages pop up, then when I get to the main window it says that such and such video/audio capture is disabled: I don't have audio so that is fine with me. Then I play a game and... Wow! Hannibal becomes txt_leader_Hannaba;?
 
I think I have the same error as Charles Li. The Warlords leaders have their names, UU, and UB names messed up and the BTS leaders have their city names messed up. Certain things (like the bug mod) has messed up interface. The Vanilla names are fine though.

 
Never mind, I fixed it. I have the chinese version of windows xp so I changed the unicode settings to English and now there's no more problems in the game. But I don't have English on the computer now the UIs of some programs installed in Chinese are illegible. :crazyeye:
 
Hey, I was looking through this forum but nothing here really seemed to relate to what i've been seeing
after the XML (uncaching) a bunch of errors come up, they all relate to Victory movies and having errors with them
After i click 'ok' through all of them the 2k movie appears then after that it says some of your movies weren't installed correctly, then it plays the warlords movie.
I can play the game fine, but none of the wonder movies seem to work but all other gameplay is fine

One thing that i think could have caused it was this mod that i downloaded that was supposed to add another victory movie, i downloaded it and put it in the file that it told me to. This was a pretty long time ago so i forget exactly, if i started experiencing this problem immediately after i installed it or not. So i deleted that file (back then) that i put in because i thought that was the problem. But it didnt fix anything, so i uninstalled the whole game and reinstalled but the problem was still there, so i looked on the web for answers but didnt get anything that helped

this is the link that i got that mod from http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/civilizationiv/mod/16742.html
someone told me that i should try a program called revo uninstaller to completely uninstall everything related to civ
but the only problem is that i have some saved games that i would really like to keep

but if there are no other options/solutions and i had to uninstall the game, could i put my saved games on my external hard-drive then reinstall civ and then put the games back in the folder? or would the games not work or something?

this is what the first message looks like:
Failed Loading XML file xml\GameInfo/CIV4VictoryInfo.xml.
[.\FXml.cpp:133] Error parsing XML File –
File: xml\GameInfo/CIV4VictoryInfo.xml
Reason: Element content is invalid according to
the DTD/Schema.
Expecting: {x-schema:CIV4GameInfoSchema.xml}iVictoryDelayTurns.

Line: 25, 18
Source:
<VictoryMovie> </VictoryMovie>


if anyone can help that'd be great, I'll also put down the the other error messages that i get if that is needed, but they mostly deal with 'VICTORY' errors, etc.
thanks in advance for any help
 
I have some problems with the XML as well, saying that the Tag in front does not match with the back. Help please?
 
I encountered the same problem for a similar reason as Civverguy. I installed it on a Japanese machine, and the first time the XML parsed it messed up most of the in-game text.

To fix it, you need to reset your language and unicode settings to English, then go here:

C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\CivilizationIV.ini
or
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\My Documents\My Games\Beyond the Sword\CivilizationIV.ini
or
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\My Documents\My Games\Warlords\CivilizationIV.ini
(depending on your version of the game), and then open the file with Notepad.

Next, set Disable caching of xml and file system (may slow initialization)
DisableCaching = 1

Re-load the game, and this will reset the text in the game. Make sure it works, then go back to the file and set Disable caching of xml and file system (may slow initialization)
DisableCaching = 0

You can put back your language settings and the game will work fine now.
