modded .bic files crash after installing 1.21

[LvT]

I've been playing for months with the 1.16 patch and have made a .bic file that edits civs (but nothing else)

this has worked like a charm till yesterday, when I sent the master .bic file to a friend, who modded his civ and sent it back to me

I couldn't open it in the Editor... turned out he had already installed the 1.21 patch

so I dl'ed the 1.21 patch and installed it

now I can open the .bic files in the editor, but when I try to launch using the modded file, I get an "Illegal Operation ... program will be shut down" while the game is loading after the Customization screens

Then I get dumped to the desktop

This happens with all of my modded .bic files, but the game will launch fine using original defaults

can anybody help??

oh btw, is there a PBEM utility somewhere, or do we just have to wait for Play the World??

Sounds like you've been using a pre-1.21f bic all this time - now you have the patch, that version of bic won't work. You might need to re-edit everything..

Quuite a few mods don't work after installing a patch. I have had to redo my buildable leader one 4 times, with a fifth one due after the next patch.

Actually, I found the problem after looking in the 1.21 bugs thread

turns out after I installed the patch it reset the Custom Map and I hadn't deselected it

Everything seems to be running fine now

Thank you both

I am glad it was a simple solution.
