Try using DirectX9 instead of DirectX11.

I finally got a reply from take2: "Normally when the game is crashing on large maps, it has to do with low amounts of RAM. However, you have 16 Gigs, so that shouldn't be the issue. Please disable all of your non essential background applications and try the game again. Also, please do the...

"The 2 files being redownloaded is normal. That happens even if there is nothing wrong." Please explain why you think that is true. I've read of other people getting one file downloaded, but never of anybody getting more than one (normally). "Can you play a game without mods that doesn't...

I could try lowering the room temperature but the symptoms don't seem to be due to overheating. I was able to play for a several hour stretch before it crashed. Once it crashed if I waited a couple of minutes for things to cool down and then loaded the last saved game it would crash within about...

I switched to using TechPowerUp CPU-ID to monitor the graphics board, and lowered all of my graphics settings to low. This time when it crashed (same cache problem) the fan was at 40% and the GPU temperature was 104F. Any suggestions other than the graphics board?

I installed CPU ID hardware monitor, which lets me monitor the CPU and GPU temperatures. It also let me monitor the PCs fans, except for the graphics card. I lowered all of the graphics to medium except for texture. That let me load a saved game and play until 200BC where it crashed with the...

I think so. I can hear the cards fan speed up when playing the game. I'll install SpeedFan tomorrow and see what I can discover.

I've attached the output of dxdiag.

Another solution would be to: Open PAINT before you open the game. Open the game. Play the game to the point you want to take a picture. Press CTRL+PRT SCR. Go into PAINT and PASTE the picture.

See if http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Civilization_V#Unable_to_run_DirectX_11 helps.

I managed to re-enable mods by deleting the "Sid Meier's Civilization 5" folder again. I started a new game. The game crashed when I got to 500BC when it displayed a wonder splash screen. I verified the cache and got "2 files failed to validate and will be re-acquired" again. Twice I loaded a...

Did you enable Vsync in the games options? It "automatically limits the framerate to the refresh rate of the monitor, therefore reducing framerates and therefore temperatures". See http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Civilization_V for some other workarounds. I'm using a 3.40Ghz i7-3770 with 16GB of...

I'm playing Civ V Gods & Kings using DirectX 11 under Windows 7 x64. About a week ago I started to get crashes after about 2 hours of playing a game that I thought were due to a mod corrupting the cache, causing the crash. I wasted a lot of time trying to isolate it to a specific mod (starting...

How do you add a river? I can create lakes, coasts etc. but can't find a way to add a river.

Thanks. Turns out you click the Single Player text at the top of the popup, which I thought was part of the status information. It doesn't look like a button, is in the wrong place for a button, and you'd expect to also see a multiple player "button" but .... When I click on IGE I get a popup...

I can't get this mod to work with the Gods and Kings expansion. The first post doesn't really help me. Suggestions? 1. Its a fresh installation. (I had uninstalled Civ V last year). 2. C:\Users\eric\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\Ingame Editor (v 22) seems to have the...

I just won a game using crazy spatz's balance and alpha centauri mods, plus a "transhumanist" and "simple clock" mod. However, it did not record my score and the hall of fame claims I did not play any games. I'm using version 1.0.1.348 of the game (latest patch) and didn't spot anything in the...

1. A few more wonders. The RMS Titanic mod co-exists with this mod but so far most other ones I've tried eventually cause crashes. Since I prefer to play as Rome it would be nice if the Flavian Amphitheater wonder was added. 2. A few (just one or two each) infantry and armor upgrades based on...

The Tibetan Empire mod v0.4 doesn't add another civilization when I try it. I normally play with the "Building made more fun" and "Simple Clock" mods but tried it with no other mods to rule out it being a interoperability problem. Did you write that mod? I haven't had that problem with any...

The first page of the main thread states FFH II requires 3.17. Many mods will only work with 3.13. Whats the recommended way to deal with this problem - have two seperate BTS installations?
