Hello, I am having a crippling issue with my copy of Civ 5. I played the vanilla game just fine, with zero issues. After I bought gold edition, I saw a few errors, but I was still able to play. The errors were of a graphical sort, a red and white checkerboard replaced AI leader screens from time to time.
After several hours playing gold edition, I upgraded once again to Brave New World, and started a game going. I was able to play for about two minutes when the game crashed, giving the "Civ 5 has encountered a problem and needs to close" error message. From that point on, I have been able to start a game very rarely, and the game usually crashes before the opening speech is finished.
I have tried several possible solutions, including updating my drivers and lowering graphic settings to minimum. I have verified the game cache a few times, and uninstalled/re-installed multiple times as well. I am at a loss as to what to try next, but I would dearly love to play Civ 5 some more.
Here is my DxDiag, if needed.
