By the way, there is one small issue with pandora crack if game is installed in Program Files folder.
In case of having Win7 or Vista with UAC enabled, Civ5 will start with all DLCs disabled (even free mongol dlc).
The solution is simple, just start game once "as admin", and it will work after that all the time.
I think it's related to new folder made by pandora crack on first start in game install folder (SteamRemoteStoreDummy). It doesn't get created in conditions above, which is probably a reason why those problems arose.

Can you still browse the online mods with this pandora crack?

I am looking for an updated SDK as well. The old one doesn't work with the new Pandora Update 3.

I am not sure if anyone noticed (or cares)
The Skidrow/Pandora supplied DLC seems to work fine with a steam activated copy of Civ V. But only if I run Directly from the launcher ""\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization v\Launcher.exe"
If I start Civ V from within the Steam client I receive a "Requred DLC has not been purchased" when I try to load a saved game.
FYI

Yes, it makes sense.
Since exes are cracked to not require steam, while on the other hand, if you play with steam active, it will see you haven't purchased those DLCs.
P.S.
Hmm... wait, you just used DLC files (stuff inside assets\dlc folder) without pandora crack?

Though it looks like SKIDROW has forsaken us for good as far as Civ5 goes. :/ |
Not that I mind, since pandora seems more then capable of releasing updates, but it seems like a big joke to have skidrow release 7 other updates in last week, without touching Civ5.

Originally while installing the Steam version, I copied over the Full Skidrow Version with both updates in order to reduce what steam had to download. I did not however copy any .dll or .exe files over.
The next day Steam downloaded the latest patch.
Yesterday I noticed my save would not load if I went through the steam client because of the Babylon DLC but would load through launcher.exe in the the Steam directory
Today i copied over the Resource, Assets and Debug Folders from the Pandora release and nothing else. I was able to load the scenario and maps from the new DLC and I could still load saves from the steams Civ V launcher.exe

I'm a little confused now. I bought the game but wont pay for the DLC. Can I use the DLC from pandora release and play but use the launcher instead of steam? Meaning I dont need to use the crack files?

That's the crackfix for DirectX 11 exe file.
You need the other package too.

JxD - Copying only the assets, debug and resource folders to my Civ5 steam directory and running the launcher.exe didnt work for me. Did you copy over the launcher from pandora too?
I copied the files over, then started the launcher. It comes to the screen where you can select dx9/10 or dx11 then it loads steam then goes back to the laucher screen to choose dx9/10 or 11 again.

I'm using the Civ5 SDK that was released by a guy named HGames. Lots of errors pop up new when I try to start it after the Pandora patch. Where'd you get your SDK?

The SDK itself is free and unprotected, so I don't think it'd be forbidden to post a link to it.

I am definitely not using the cracked exe. I even deleted my steam Civ V folder and started over again.
1. Start Steam Download
2. Copy over all Skidrow Files except .dll and exe
3. Let steam Download the remaining missing Files
4. Copy over only the asset, debug and resource folder from the Pandora update.
5 Run the Civ V launcher.exe under \Steam\steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization v\
6. Choose Direct x 10/11
I am able to Load saves that use DLC I didn't purchase. I can Load the Spain/Inca Scenario. If I go under Mods and set up a new game I can Load the DLC maps, I can also Play as Isabella, Pachacuti and Nebuchadnezzar II.
If I start using the steam Client I do not see any of the DLC.
I just tried starting Civ by loading "\Steam\steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization v\CivilizationV_DX11.exe" and that works also

I found updated SDK files in one of the russian steam sharing forums.
It's a gcf archive, which can be unpacked with proper winrar plug-in, if you just want to get new files (that need to be merged with old SDK release).
So until someone makes full pack, it will do its job.

Can you post a link peter980, or give me something to Google?
Scaramonga if you have the updated SDK that would be good too.

I guess it wont work for me as I dont have the skidrow release. I have done all the steps you have outlined and it unfortunately dosent show the DLC, only Genghis Khan.
Thnaks for your help though.

We're sorry that we haven't kept Civilization V updated since our update 2, but we waited for an update that actually felt like it's improving this masterpiece of a game.
The Skid Row family wish you and your family a merry christmas and a happy new year. See you in 2011! |
Very nice gesture from Skidrow.
Still, have no idea why is update 1GB is size?

Is Mongolia a separate DLC civilization? Is it included in the freshly released update package by Skidrow?
