Possibility to pernamently disable Brave New World?

[Ghoul De Bois]

Hello, I bought it but yet I prefered old intro and main menu music (also I want to finish old savegames that I started when I had G&K only). Sadly Brave New World always turn on when I boot up the game! I disabled it from Mods menu but still it does not safe settings and keep turning BNW on every new launch :(

idk how to do it but id also like to tuen off bnw atleast untill it gets fixed

[mrmike_49]

AFAIK, you have to turn if off every time BEFORE you start a new game. Once you have started a game with BNW turned off, it may say ON in the first menu, but it has no effect on your game

You can play old G&K saves with BNW. The game will automatically turn off BNW when you load the save and will return back when you leave your game.
Go to DLC. Uncheck Brave New World Expansion Pack. Click OK. Try that and see if it will disable BNW for good.

I've tried it and it doenst work like that :/ But thanks for a note with this fact that old saves still working.

And if you want the G&K intro, you can always find it on YouTube.
As for the music, you can also find it on YouTube but also on the Soundtrack included with G&K. Look in OS(C:) - Program Files(x86) - Steam - SteamApps - common - Sid Meier's Civilization V - assets - DLC - Expansion - Soundtrack
Add the Soundtrack to Windows Media Player and you have all leader music, scenario music, intro music and the menu theme for G&K.

Well I can survive without old intro but this menu music... it just baad, still dunno if its guy trying to sing like a girl or girl with manly voice...

I found a fix/workaround. You have to rename the "Expansion2" file in the DLC directory (on mac it's in package contents in the executable and on windows I believe just in your common folder (which you can find in [drive]:\Program Files ((x86))\Steam\steamapps\common or on mac, ~/library/application support/Steam/steamapps/common. note that this is not a good fix, and Spyre should come up with a better fix, but at least it works

ps: to reenable it, rename the folder back to Expansion2

Hope to have helped ya all

In the steam client, library section, right-click Civ V and go to properties. Then the DLC tab.
Uncheck BNW and it will act like you never bought it. Same thing to turn it back on.

Your G&K save files should already work. When an old save is loaded, it disabled any newer DLC.

Edit: As I said i n another thread, I don't recommend renaming the expansion2 folder. Just disable the DLC.

Are you do this from the Steam client, or from in the game itself?

If you disable the DLC in the game, it will turn back on next time you load the game.

If you turn it off in the Steam client, it will disable it from your account, and it won't load at all.

You can swap the video files around as well. Same with the menu music. You could even add your own menu music (I used to have Baba Yetu when I was playing Vanilla.)

I think thread is no longer needed when you can disable specific DLC via Steam options.

What a lovely Necro

[Staryn]

Maybe I should start looking at dates more often...

but you know, for me that doesn't work... maybe its because I'm on mac, maybe because I'm using the pack which came with all the DLC, but it just doesn't work. also, my executable in SteamAps directory is called Civilization V: Brave New World......

I also am on a Mac but I bought BNW seperate and I also have diabled all DLC in my steam options and yet BNW still loads everytime. So Sjoerdleskriker don't feel alone.

Probably a bug with Steam for Mac then. Worth mentioning to Steam :)
Also, that's the only official way I know of to get DLC disabled.
