Help with CivIV
 

I tried downloading the new patch online, in the game, but everytime it would just close on me after a few minutes. I downloaded it outside of the game, but when I installed it gave me an error "No valid source could be found for the game", so I press ok and it continues patching anyway and goes to the end and says it was successful. After this is done I go into the game and to internet multiplayer, and after I press login, it sits there for a second loading, then closes. I tried patching again, and it said I already have 1.52, but I did it anyway, and got the same results.

I'm using a no dvd setup (yes I own the game), and the mini image with sd4hider.

Have you tried a new install, then patch manually to 1.09 and then to 1.52? maybe that works, or without the 1.9?

Use the original Disc in the drive whilst updating.

...and don't play online with the crack!
Use your original cd/dvd or a mini-image to play online!
