Well, I recently bought the Complete Edition on Steam, and after installing all of the Civ4 games and expansions, I try to play one and... It doesn't work.
Beyond the Sword doesn't run at all, just gives the starting little loading box before crashing, whilst Colonization lets me get to world creation (although, oddly, crashes when I select the second French chappy, so I guess it's a graphical problem) before crashing.
It doesn't appear possible to alter the permissions in the steam apps folder, so I can't do that.
The irony of all this is that I was using an online "friend's" copy before this, and that worked perfectly fine. I'm probably the only one that finds this funny.
