Ok, first off, awesome mod! One of the best i have played. I have a problem though. When Teotl came out, i played this mod all the time. When I tried to play Hueca, i can't play it. Everyime after the toltec studios logo, it freezes. I have tried almost everything to fix it. Help would be greatly appreciated. And it's not just this mod, but some others too. e-mail me at johnpinky7@yahoo.com.
Thanks

It is the 4th part. Pehua, Oztoc, and Teotl have been released already in the past.
