    You shouldn't have installed 3.03.

      That happens in 3.03 if you click on pretty much any link within the text body of any descriptions.

      Use the side-bar.

          Yeah, but the easy work around until they fix it is that if you use the sidebar thing in the civilopediao n the right there you will NEVER get the crash bug, it's only when you use text-body links in it.

          So..

          Side-bar it for now until they fix it, because even though it's a pain in the ass it works flawlessly. When I first got BtS I installed the latest patch (3.03) and was thinking it was a Vista+BtS bug until I found out a buddy of mine on XP had the same issue.

            It's crap, not standard

            Remove that excuse for a patch and install the unofficial patch instead

                I have the same, but with Praetorians and regular swords. I'm taking Asmodeous advice for now, and I'm using the side bar...

                And, Solver... 3.03 is the standard... Even if it's crap. Standard Crap, if you prefer.

                  No, the standard is 3.02 + unofficial patch, because that's what the cool people use

                      The problem is... I have the steam package... The damn thing upgrades the game, even if I don't want to...
                      Or something like this.
                      Anyway... Firaxis? Folks? What about to fix it?

                        Supposed to be fixed in the next patch, however you can tell steam to not update an individual piece of software.

                        Just install the software and as it's downloading the initial install (it doesn't patch until after installed) right-click on the software and click options (settings, tools, whatever), and there's a checkbox under "download and install patches automatically".

                        Uncheck it and no updatey.

                            I launched steam to check.

                            Right-click on the game.
                            Choose Properties from menu.
                            Choose tab at top "Updates".
                            Uncheck "update automatically".
