Do you have these problems with other mods like with the mods that come with Civ4 included?

This is the first time I have had this issue where the mod appears to begin loading and then nothing happens. All other mods that I tried loaded fine. I tried RtR_5.1.0.0 on my work computer this morning ... the first attempt failed exactly the same. On the second attempt it worked! I'll try my laptop a few more times when I get home.

One tiny annoyance with the "how many people have this tech" icons. They've caused a vertical scroll bar to appear on the tech tree, so I can't use the mouse wheel to move the tech tree left and right any more. Very minor, but I guess adding a few pixels to the height of the tech tree would fix it?

I was already wondering what caused this. Thank you. It's on the todo list.

So as you can expect I don't have that problem, which is why I have to ask so much. I do remember that I had sometimes problems with Civ4 starting at all on my old laptop, which is still running Windows 7. I also googled a bit and found the following threads. Maybe something is in there:

This is really puzzling for me.

So on my work computer I tried again at the end of the day, and it took about 5 attempts to get the mod to load. On my home computer I was unable to get the mod to load even after about 20 attempts. I then started deleting files to see if I could identify a specific file that was causing the issue. Unfortunately I narrowed it down to CvGameCoreDLL, which is probably the most key file in the mod with the most changes. With that one single file deleted, the mod loads every time. With that file added back in, the mod doesn't load at all

Ok weird, but at least that narrows it down a bit. To summarize what we know
- Cornflakes has problems with 5.1.0.0 and so does OH
- OH mentioned that he also had problems with CtH in PB52
So this narrows it down to changes I brought over from CtH to RtR. I have to look at what these were. I assume that you both have the same problems with RtR 5.0.0.1, right?

Some more infos.
- If I remember correctly then you, Cornflakes played in PB49, which used a BUG version of RtR. And if I understood you correctly, you did not have these problems there.
I rely on your help to narrow down the changes that could cause this. So I would like you to do the following thing.
1. Download the 5.0.0.1 version from the other download thread and see if it still happens there
2. Based on #2 I will provide you a package of DLL files from different points in my git repository. That way I will be able to narrow it down.
