Civilization IV Beyond the Sword crashes to desktop without error on the "Setup Map" phase of game loading in these reproducible contexts:

  • Creating a new single player game using the "Play Now!" option
  • Loading a game from any folder but the autosave folder

Sometimes crashes in these contexts, only reproducible some of the time:

  • Creating a new single player game using the "Custom Game" option
  • Loading an autosave

Both Proton 3.7-3 and 3.7-4 Beta were tried.

Otherwise the game works well, and the game does not freeze on any loading phase besides "Setup Map"

Recent Failure Reports:
SShished 2018-08-26 github

I'm using GTX 660 with 396.54 driver and game fails to load XML files during startup (load XML (cached) stage) and as a result all text is unlocalized (words with underscores).
But game works

Its the same for all Civ4 games.

Hello @ahvth, we'll be using one issue report per unofficially supported game title, so I've gone ahead and transferred this issue report to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/179#issuecomment-416065576.
