I'm also having this issue.
Misterboy - It is not the new nVidia drivers. When I first started running into the problem I realized that I had not updated the drivers for my 560 Ti since I bought it back in March. The fact that, upon closing Civ, I got a little pop-up saying my nVidia drivers...
Also interested in any info on this as I am having the exact same issue with the exact same card. It doesn't happen every time a diplomacy screen opens and seems very random (although MUCH more likely to happen the first time a particular leaderhead screen loads)
Civ fully patched. Drivers...
Sadly I think the integrated graphics officially kills me laptop. I was hoping it would be able to run Civ 5 on at least min settings to hold me over until I get my new desktop come tax time. I was getting happier and happier until I got to the video card requirements. Pretty sure that killed me...
Damn, I never heard of that one before.

/runs to uninstall Heroes of M&M 5 and run the Starforce removal software... like... NAO!
So SecuROM isn't the worse but it's still 2nd worst by a long shot.
If I had the money to start a game company I gladly would. A job in the video game industry would be like a dream come true.
I think that's my biggest issue. It's not so much the price it's that 1) there is no demo or reliable reviews and 2) not only does it have DRM, it's got SecuROM, the...
1) I won't buy it. If I see it on a Torrent site I might pirate it (NOTE: I never totally "pirate" anything, I view Torrents as Demos for games who's producers are too lazy to make Demos. I'll play it for a day or 2, if I like it I'll buy it, if I don't I'll delete it. Stealing a game that's...
3 of my favorite things in the world (in no particular order):
1) (American) Football
2) Turn-Based Strategy
3) Mutant League Football for the Sega Genesis
So you can imagine my excitement when I heard that Cyanide Studios was working on a video game adaptation of Games Workshop's...
No, you can't put a stack in enemy territory and then declare war. You can build a stack right outside their cultural borders as a surprise attack but you can't just put a giant stack next to their capital and the DoW on them. That would be way too unfair and no one in their right mind would...
I always pick peace at first, locate their capital, and make my decision from there. If they're too close for comfort I'll start prepping for War and DoW when I'm good and ready. No point starting a war when you're not ready for one yet and likely don't even know where your enemy's empire is...
One more question for you guys - what is your stance regarding Holy Cities that are far away from your empire and going to be extremely expensive? Keep or Raze? I'm going to be facing this problem soon. Once I put the finishing touches on Pacal and move on to Ramsese I'll have a decision to...
Check out the Peacemonger section of the War Academy, that's how I got better at cultural victories. In particular this one - http://www.civfanatics.com/civ4/strategy/cultural_beginner.php and this one - http://www.civfanatics.com/civ4/strategy/cultural_victory_notes.php
Great information...
Oh believe me I know. I decided to play one more game on Warlord simply because I figured it would be easier to guage how much I've improved, if at all, playing on the level I'm used to. I know once I try to make the move up to Noble again it will be a whole new ball game. It took a good 5-10...
I'm sure some of the other guys here can give better advice but I'll give my thoughts...
1) One thing I've learned is never be afraid to sit on a free Settler you popped from a Goody hut for a little while. It's not like they're going to disappear if you don't use them right away. It's a rare...
I have to agree. This thread turned out even better and more informative than I'd hoped.
I'd say the biggest thing I took from it was to stop being such a pansy and look to take the AI by the throat a little more.
With my newfound knowledge I decided to start a new game. I started on...
