Whenever I load a mod the game crashes.

Whenever I load a mod Civ 4 BtS crashes and I get an error message saying I need to check my directX/Graphics card. This is strange though because It works if I dont rune a mod.

If you haven't updated to the latest patch 3.19, then please first do so, then we'll look further.

I have. I am running Civ 4 BtS patch 3.19 on windows XP. I'll note that mods used to work, they just suddenly stopped working a few days ago.

I'm using this post cause I have the same problem, I try to use Earth 40 Civs mod, and when I try to load it, the game exits like it's normal but then it stalls, it gives me an error.
I've formated my pc yesterday and that mod always worked. I use Win Vista with the 3.19 patch.
Any ideas?
thank you

I've started an XML mod in the standard edition cIV, and if I'm playing as the new leader I added the mod crashes before it even loads the game. If I'm playing as one of the standard leaders and the new civ is controlled by the AI, it also tends to crash, especially if I try opening WorldBuilder.
Since this seems like a pretty active thread, I was wondering if anyone had come across the same problem, or possibly had an idea on how to fix it. If anyone does know how to fix it, I will revere them as a deity until the end of time. Thanks in advance.

For you own questions you should open your own thread .

But take a look at your civ in the civilopedia, before you start the game. You don't get any art for the civ and/or the leader, right? -> check the art references again.

Hmm... you might be onto something. Although the art for my civ doesn't show up (as you predicted), the leaderhead actually does work. But you're probably right about the art files being the issue. I'll double-check them as soon as I get the chance. I noticed you also replied to my question on the other thread (thanks for replying so soon!), and now that you mention it, I did try to add a uu... I don't think it's just that, though, because nobody in the game would have had a chance to build it yet. About the thread... the reason I posted on these threads is that that they were already frequented by knowledgeable persons such as yourself
