SOLVED: v1.52: "Failed to load python module CvEventInterface"

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!!

Btw, I did a search for the file, and it exists in the main Civ directory (in the appropriate sub-directory for the main game) and in several of the scenarios.
