VoxPopuli Modpacks (Update: 4.21.1)

[Agiwan]

Pretty basic MP_Modspack 4.20.2 EUI with Super Settler (v2) and Even More Resources for Vox Populi (v 13).

Seems to be working fine for us. Very little errors/desyncs.

Are you in the late game ?

Not really, early industrial.

I use these Mods. Any experience with them not being compatible in MP?

Just my personal anecdote. But playing with the most recent big pack, 2 human players, 8 ai, 24 city states, large map on milaes map. Turn 200 and not a single crash or issue.

Absolutely will do. We will pickup that game again later this week. We notice loading saves often lead to crashes. Even with cleared cache.

Also. I noticed my buddie doesny have the force resync button. But i do. Same download. Any ides why that may be?

Maybe the host that start the game turn 0 ? Or maybe a dx9 vs dx11 thing ?

I think everything is the same.

Understood this might not be the right thread for such a thought, but I want to express my deepest appreciation for all of those involved in the Community Patch / Vox Populi effort. I'm on turn 350 of my first game (Rome TSL) and having as much fun as Civ II or SMAC (yes, I'm old).

Hi, Great!

I think the best thread for this is: https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/new-version-–-4-21.697811/
The developers are here

Have fun!

hi folks,

bummed out from civ7, decided to try the latest vox.

maybe you kind people can fill me in some:
1. if i wanna play the very basic modpack (i prefer to use modpacks and not installer mods wise).
which package should i use?
i think i used one now with squads and UI - Promotion Tree for VP (v 24) and (3a) VP - EUI Compatibility Files (v 1).
2. what is the difference between (2) Vox Populi (v 17)and (1) Community Patch (v 143)?
3. are there any critical bugs for 4.21? maybe i should try 4.20 first?
4. mp i know is of an issue sometimes, lets say i use basic core modpack ( i guess -> (2) Vox Populi (v 17)and (1) Community Patch (v 143) only?)
should it be safe for MP?

anything else is most welcomed.
thank you for your work on this , be blessed.

Hi Keldath,

For the first question you can use the one you prefer on the first page of this thread, EUI ones have a better UI but can crash in late game due to memory constrain (you will have to downgrade the graphics or zoom more to avoid the crashes)
For the second question the (2) Vox Populi (v 17) has all the gameplay changes of vox populi, and the (1) Community Patch (v 143) has the core changes for the AI (I simplify a lot)
Fot the third one: 4.21 is good to go, better then the 4.20.
For the fourth question I think you should use a Modpack without EUI because EUI can causes memory crashes in late game and it's even less fun to have to reload a multiplayer game, and do not use the CP one as all the good gameplay changes from VoxPopuli will not be there.

And welcome !

Even the bigpack is really stable to be honest

What are differences between 4.16.2 and 4.21? Is there any file or post about changes?
Will mods like future age, naval, air warfare, enlightenment era etc. will work?

I have good exp with 4.16.2 but not sure I should install 4.21?

EDIT: OK so I tried 4.21 and it works fine when you start game normal (not using mods menu). But I want use mode like CAYM Tweaks, YNAEMP world maps etc so I extracted files from 4.21 to my games/civ v/ mods and when I start game from mods menu after I click begin the game at the start tells me I was defeated. WTH?

How make it works? Should I use 4,20 instead?

EDIT2: So I decided to install 4.20 with auto installer and works OK from mods menu but it doesnt have supersettler, even more ressources, promotion tree, more unique components etc like it is in 4.21. Why? This is normal?
But I copied those folders from 4,21 (supersettler, even more ressources, promotion tree, more unique components etc) to MODS folder where 4,20 is installed and now game works fine from mods menu (no defeated at the start). I have enlightenment era etc.

Please take note that placing 4.21 in assets/dlc folder is not good if people wants other mods. Placing 4.21 in mods, cause defeat issue. So maybe would be good to fix it and go back to normal installer in MODS menu instead of DLC

THANKS!

You can't add new mods when using a modpack. You have to use the auto installer which is the official way to play VP. Auto installer will only install VP and EUI and can be found on the main forum, the last one is "New Version – 4.21.1". You will have to add the other modmods in the mod folder and activate them using the mod menu at the same time you activate VP.
Modpacks are there to let people play mods in multiplayer. But modpacks are not customizable, you have to do a complete new modpack if you want to add other mods. You can't use the mod menu if you use a modpack.
