I added the Opt-in patch within Steam and it did not solve the problem.  Still getting the EXP2_Crusade error.

Go to the folder

\Galactic Civilizations III\DLC\

and delete the folder

EXP2_Crusade

Then run the game, you should only have to do this the first time.

Ok, that wasn't made clear in your instructions that you still had to delete the folder the first time and then from there on after the Opt-in patch works.  Confirming it worked for me.

Thank you so much man, I was wracking my brain trying to figure this out. You literally made my day. Hats off to you good sir!

Ignore my question - I just deleted the Crusade folder as advised above and it worked.

Steam is asking for beta access code when I choose the opt_in_update - v4.1 Hotfix Release. How do I get this or do I just delete the above stated file?

No beta code is required, just select the beta in the drop down menu and close the Properties screen.
