we can't change civics ! & Religion ! this is a big Bug !

[tehran_games]

Hey ! I have a big problem in Playing Civilization IV : Beyond the Sword ! and it made me a big problem !

I can't change my Civics ! and in the page of Civics i have just one button " Cancel " but in the previous version ( I mean Warlord ) we could change the civics, and we had two Buttons " Ok & Cancel " By The Way, the Cancel Button doesn't work ! we can't exit the Civics Page by pressing the Cancel Buton !

I downloaded the PAtch 3.02 but despite that, i have this problem ! can you please help me ? it's really important for me !! Thanks !

Do you have a save game with which the problem can be reproduced?
Have you recently changed civics? There is a minimal time period between civic changes.

Patch vanilla civ to 1.74

Can this be added to some kind of FAQ? It seems to be asked a lot.

Are there enough turns between the previous civic/religious change(s) ?

I patched van civ to 1.74 and it fixed the TXT_ERRORS and Religion Screen but not the Civics Screen. Any ideas how I can fix the Civics Screen?

First I've heard of it!

I suggest a full reinstall.

I've already reinstalled BTS ten times and the original CivIV three times in the past three weeks. I tried tech support and they had no clue what to do.

Are you mixing and matching different versions of Vanilla and BtS? Like having a boxed version of one and a D2D version of the other or perhaps you are using versions from two different countries?

No to Both Questions

I had the same problem and it took me a painful full afternoon to finally resolve it.
In fact I had the same problemS:
- TXT_KEY_MENU all over the place
- no button other than Cancel on Civics and Religion screen.

Browsing the internet I saw that some people were saying that the TXT_KEY_MENU problems are due to XML parsing problems, due to locale settings not being... US. That sucks A LOT, but I recognize the usual US attitude to believe that the whole world is going their way... don't take it bad though, I live in the US and enjoy it Anyway, my PC was set to French locale settings, so I changed it to US.
No improvement in Civ IV even after several reboot.
Finally yesterday I took the time to uninstall everything (patch, Beyond the sword extension, Civ IV), cleaned up all Firaxis and Civ IV folders, then re-installed everything again: Civ IV (from a DVD bought in France !!), patch 1.74, Beyond the Sword with the 2-CD bought in the US, patch 3.17, all of this with locale settings set to US.
And it worked !! No more TXT_KEY_BLABLA, and also, now I can change civics and religion.

So the minor side effect is that I have to keep the US locale settings to be able Civ IV. Oh well...
