Gaia I would love to see a post from you saying you are working on a new update. I have reached the point in my life where when I don't hear from people I fear that they are ill or dead.

I'm having major issues with the gaia core mod. I can't open the production screen or produce anything, locking the game at turn 1. I was told the UI might be the issue, so I switched to the non-UI version. But that broke the top stat bar, even in the vanilla interface. I've used this mod before and it worked fine, even in version 600. The only change since then is using the Vox Populi installer. Since then, I’ve cleared the cache, MODS, and ModUserData folders. I also found and deleted the CityView Lua file to troubleshoot, but that only made the production UI break completely. I’m stuck now — I’ve done all the basic cleanup, but the problem persists. I'm not tech-savvy enough to go deeper into code or file structures without guidance. If someone can give me step-by-step help, I can follow it, but figuring it out alone isn’t working

@Party Mcfly: That is an ongoing issue with GAIA version 538 onwards.

Frankly, I'm surprised you even got there as 542 is the most stable of all (You can actually restart//reroll the game atleast thrice before it CTDs).

This usually happens with memory problems (playing with HUGE map and atleast turn 150+) and AI unit movement from my encounters with this.

I'd recommend removing the Modded Civilizations and other misc for now... Although, im not really sure as I was able to get to Quick Speed turn 250 late game with ALL sapiens modlist (including future worlds)

@Party McFly: try use this modpack by Dschissl https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/sapiens-v538-with-coremod-548.699530/

I have a CtD when trying to load my save game. Loading an older autosave works, but a few turns later, the game crashes again.

Mods used:
- Gaia's Core Mod (v 542)
- Sapiens (v 538)
- Sapiens Fixes (v 542)
- EUI Compatibility (v 542)
- Sapiens Civilization Pack (v 542)
- InfoAddict (v 22)
- Wharves for Sapiens (v 4)

Anyone has the same problem?

@Ishtar-Tama Once the file is downloaded do I have to put it in some Civ 5 folder? if so which one

Anyone know how to get IGE working with either of the two older versions that have been posted?

I tried cutting out the blocker to get it loaded, but if I have sapiens enabled IGE fails to start in game with an error referencing the InfoTooltipInclude.lua file line 265 in Gaia's Core mod.
