v. 1.61 Bug Report!

[IVZanIV]

Gy, THANK YOU.

Renaming did it! Woo Civ 4 1.61 here I come!

 

[Pvtbones]

upon loading up the game I get three errors, one is tech_communism, Building_Class_forbidden palace, and (?)_china_leader XMLs (I believe) haven't tried playing any games yet so I don't know if it's affect anything else?

also how do I clean out the custom assets folder, is there a program I need to download or is it hidden somewhere?

*edit*

I can't even play the game, I just get an the China_leader error

 

[IVZanIV]

No, just rename it.

I think I narrowed down the cause of the error, it's most likely a custom civ in the custom assets folder. but now I can't play canada

I just installed 1.61 the patch and now the game won't open. I get the following error message:

"This application has failed to start because BOOST_PYTHON-VC71-MT-1_32.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

I first d/l'ed and installed the patch through the game. When I went to start the game I got that error message. I then d/l'ed the patch from their site and manually tried installing it. That didn't fix the error.

Do I have to uninstall CivIV?

Should I only install the 1.52 patch after that?

Thanks for any recommendations.

Charley

Nevermind all.
I uninstalled Civ, defragged my HDD, reinstalled both the game and the patch and now it works.

Ahhhh! Too late! I paid attention!

During battle, I do not see the strengths of the unit anymore while the battle animation is running. Anyone else have that problem?

Edit: Ok, I see now that it was intentional. Too bad.

I am getting an incorrect password error when I try to load a previously saved multiplayer game. The password is still the same so I don't know why it won't accept it.

Arrrgh! Just upgraded from 1.52 to 1.61 and get three XML errors for #2 & 3 during the opening screen where XML is initializing. I'll only type the differences
#1 TAG:LEADER_MAO_ZEDONG in InfoClass was incorrect. Current XML file is: Civilizations/CIV4Civilizations.Infos.xml
#2 same as above but: BUILDINGCLASS_FORBIDDEN_PALACE
#3 same as above but: BUILDINGCLASS_THREEGORGESDAM

Already tried clearing the cache but to no effect. v1.52 worked fine, any clues as what to do without having to do a clean install?

 

[MrCynical]

Most of the problems seem to be caused by incompatible mods, so if you move the contents of your custom assets folder somewhere else it should fix it if that's the cause.

Thank you to those who figured out the Tech advisor/no interface issue. Renaming the custom assests folder worked for me.

 

[IVZanIV]

I thank everybody who did too... Good job.

My L'head probs disappeared when I updated my 9800 driver. There's an April ATI update.

 

[Pilotis]

Correction. Still get the occasional crash. Oh well.

 

[boazman]

Just notice that in this update some XML tags are changed;
Forbidden Palace -> Great Palace
Three Gorges Dam -> Great Dam
Communism -> Utopia
Mao Ze Dong -> Chinese Leader (N.B. I'm not too sure, but in Civilopedia Mao is described as 'Dictator of China'. Is it used to be the case in 1.52?)

Coincidence? Hidden Agenda?

Interestingly, when I set my location (in Windows) as Hong Kong, the new patch crash because it fails to update buildinginfo.xml accordingly; but the problem disappears when I set my location to UK and reinstall the patch.

Hmm...

 

[IVZanIV]

The tags were changed so that the game could be used in China, but you shouldn't have any problems if you aren't using mods, but that Hong Kong crash is odd...

I have a problem with the 1.61 patch. After I patched the game, I went in and started a new game. Every time I try this, and get into the first move of the game, it tells me I have 10 moves left. What's the fix?
