Pitboss 27 IT and Tech Issues Thread

One thing I've found a little strange, is that apart from the Civ4BeyondSword-exe file I've also got a separate Civ4BeyondSword_PitBoss-exe. Is this normal or could that cause any problems?

That's normal. Or at least I have it too and no issues.

It's normal to have the pitboss.exe file, that's the program we use to host the pitboss instances.

HAK is right, you shouldn't have the mod in the other location (under My Documents), that will cause problems. If you can't see the mod after removing it from under My Documents and having it correctly extracted to Mods under \Beyond The Sword make sure the game is closed, then try again.

And if that still doesn't work, show us an image of the path where you have the mod. It should look something similar to the image I attached. And maybe then do a search of your whole drive to make sure there isn't a duplicate 3.0.0.4 mod folder anywhere else on the computer.

Also make sure you don't have a second "RtR blah" directory nested inside the first ... that's the one that always catches me out.

I just got it working.dancing
A massive thanks to everyone that has tried to help me! bow
In the end did a bunch of stuff so not quite sure what did it, but restarting the computer after having deleted the mods in the old location was one thing, finding another place to cram the mod was another, finding a second hosts file that I could change a third etc etc.
Looking forward to this game now! jive

I'm glad you got it working, taotao. I was about to have to start giving technical advice.

Wetbandit, your correction is how I would go about things if I wanted to actually, you know, get it to work. But Management gives approximately zero fucks when it comes to telling people what to do and having no knowledge of how things ought to be done. smile

Edit: Immediately after making this post I dispatched one of my minions to go do something that I didn't want to do. Classic Management. twirl

I don't actually have any, but Windows think I have several.
