![]() Or out of date sound card drivers, unusual custom keyboard settings, or anything else really. Or Aero frames in vista / win 7 (the 'glassy' window border style) has been known to cause crashes. For some nvidia drivers, I've known turning Ambient Occlusion off on the control panel (even though according to nvidia it is always off except for games explicitly included in a list of theirs) to stop crashes. And if you have a steam download, verify the game cache (or re-download) because installs can occasionally be incomplete but unaware of it.īut on a PC there are 1001 unanticipated hardware / OS settings that might cause problems. The obvious things to attempt are ensuring you have the latest version of DirectX and video drivers. Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this. My NVIDIA GeForce 7900GS has its latest drivers. I'm running Win 7 Pro 64bit, 4 GB, IntelCore2 at 2.4GHz. It's early still, but has anyone else run into this problem or do you have suggestions? I have tried turning off the opening movie in the UserSettings.ini file but that didn't help. I have the latest version of DirectX 11, which I also reinstalled just to be sure the dlls were up to date. I installed Steam & Civ 5 today and the DirectX 9 version loads, but I get an instant Application Crash when trying to run the DirectX 10/11 version. The reduction of these settings allowed a greater performance boost, especially since the windows installation allows the running of mods where I currently have been playing with 34 civs and 55 city states.īut this returns to a moot point as I cannot play anymore sadly.I ran a search on this without luck. On the playonmac installation, I put the graphics settings to the bare minimum as the game offered more options to reduce graphics settings that are not offered in the Mac install. On my regular Mac installation of Civ 5, I do not encounter these issues and have the graphics settings set to medium. I changed the amount of vRAM the virtual drive was allowed to use as my only conclusion was that a bottleneck was occurring, changing the vRAM from 384 to 512mb did nothing to help the issue. On monday I managed to get it working again, but this only lasted for the one launch and problems returned. What issues it fixed I do not see any difference. I installed hacksteam on sunday onto the virtual drive in hopes it would fix the issue, as it was mentioned in a previous thread to fix the majority of issues with steam. The steam installation is running Wine wrapper 1.5.25 as this fixed the steam update problems. The playonmac client running at 4.19 had the same errors, and since it was harassing me to update I thought that it might fix the issue. On sunday I had done no updates to the system or installation of software, and I doubt my torrenting of comics or the walking dead could affect a completely separate part of my system.
