I see a lot of posts referring to a huge IC and it is a user error. Here's the explanation. I got this the first time I tried 1.05. That's because 1.05 changes the required file structure in several files, most notably misc.txt. So in order to try 1.05 I recommend copying the entire 1.04 install directory and then applying the patch IN TOTAL, NOT JUST THE EXE FILE. (You can ignore minister files, etc if you wish, but be sure to include all csv files, events files, and ai files) Then over the top of that you will need to JUDICIOUSLY reinstall any mods you might have, examining each file you have for conflicts. That way you can try 1.05 and still be able to go back to 1.04 if you have problems. If you do it this way you will avoid many issues.
