So, the game worked fine on Windows 7, and since the upgrade to Windows 10, it crashes as it hits the loading screen right on start up. A difference I noticed is that instead of recommending DirectX 10/11, it says to launch the Windows 8 Touch Enabled thing. I've tried all the 3 (DirectX 9, DirectX 10/11, and the Windows 8 touch enabled version) and none work. The other day I got into a game it crashed on like turn 10 or something. When I try reloading that save, it also crashes. I've been trying to see if it crashes on earlier autosaves, but the game went back to crashing on the loading screen. Now, I know that it probably isn't windows 10 that's the issue, because my friends who've upgraded play it fine, but it's the only thing that changed. Thanks for any help!

Spenny91, downgrade your OS back to Windows 7 is the best decision

Spenny, could you check the root folder for Civ V (located here for me: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V), and see if there are any *.mdmp files that are tagged to the date and time of the crash? If so, zip it up and attach it, we would love to take a look.
Thanks!
Hey, what do you mean by zip it? I had a few from a while ago, I just tried it again and I've got one for Sept. 23 now, and it was a crash on the loading screen. So yeah lemme know and I'll attach it.

I am having the same problem. Want my crash logs too?
edit: I am using windows 10 now, that is really the only change.

Okay it takes longer to crash if I don't have the game fullscreen.
