Might also be wiser to downgrade WL fully to 2.08 – which, essentially, just means to copy the DLL too ( diff) – to avoid potential compatibility issues betwen the EXE and DLL. 1.74 makes quite a few changes to Python screens ( diff on GitHub), but I don't think that those should cause a crash this early. Perhaps a clean downgrade would work probably not, the file size isn't promising (should be less than 11 MB, I reckon). Copying the 1.61 GameCore DLL doesn't help either. Still crashes silently (before the initial splash screen) on Win 8.1. No such luck with the 1.61 EXE for the base game. The one from 2.08 is indeed substantially smaller. Probably I looked at the EXE from the 2.13 patch (which is identical to the one I have installed). Also seems that I messed up earlier when comparing the file sizes. Well, I'll be damned, I've just replaced my 2.13 WL EXE with that (extracted) from patch 2.08, and now I can launch WL without erm. *) I extracted the links to the installers from 'winetricks'. C++ Redistributable Package 2010 (vcredist_x86.exe, the 32bit variant).If it does not run, install following software manually(*): Well, in most cases you simply want start Civ4:BTS…) You has to backup your Civ4 installation before installing 3.19. (Note that for starting Civ4:Vanilla/Civ4:Warlords you need Patch 1.61 / 2.08!! The 3.19-Patch will overwrite them by 1.71/2.13. Only this variant for 'Beyond the Sword' contains the executable without the annoying CD-Protection. Thus, if you want start Civ4:BTS, check that the latest patch, 3.19 is installed. The same restriction hold as for Windows 10. Other users already confirmed that Civ4:BTS runs.
