Things to check: 1) The .bat file (and the mod .sdf files) are all in the same directory as the game's executable ( gcii.exe ). 2) The game is patched to 1.0.0.8. 3) Will the game run without the mod? If you just start up gcii.exe with no command line options does it work? If not, the issue is with the game and not the mod in particular. You may also want to 4) Try running the game As Administrator if you haven't already. You may need to use the custom shortcuts instead of the batch files for that, and on that note make sure you're just adding the -mod *** line to the end of the Target field. Don't try to put Start into a shortcut, that's just for the batch file.
