EDIT: Problem solved. Please see this thread.
Civ 4 worked flawlessly on my machine previously: 1.09 patch; ATI card with Catalyst 5.10.
I wished to install patch 1.52, but I had some custom assets I thought I'd get rid of, including Harkonnen's memory fix.
I deleted the files and restarted the computer. I loaded 1.52 and restarted the computer. "Failed to load python module CvEventInterface". I thought, "Uh, oh. I erased something I was not supposed to." So, I unistalled Civ.
System restart.
Installed Civ and patch 1.52. Same error!
I remembered someone said a new Catalyst driver was out, so I downloaded it. Installed. Same error. I thought, "Hey, I'll uninstall Civ 4 and all ATI drivers and go back to the system configuration that was working before."
So, I uninstalled drivers and Civ and re-installed ATI Catalyst 5.10 and Civ 4 to 1.09. Same error!
What is going on here? The game worked great on my system before!
And, YES, I held down the [Shift] key during game load!!!!
I can click past the error message and load a game just fine. The graphics look great. There's one small problem: NO INTERFACE!!
