Civ 5 no longer working for NO REASON

Hi guyz,

something rather confusing is happening. I have been able to play Civ 5 smoothly until two days ago.
Since yesterday, the game crashes when starting up. At most, it made it to the main menu page, I clicked, and it crashed again.
No error message, no error code.
It just says "Civilization 5 has stopped working".

I have already tried (in sequence):

- checking the cache integrity
- updating Windows and NVidia drivers
- deleting the local content and reinstalling the whole game (downloading it via steam)
- manually running all the secondary installers (vcredist_x86.exe, DXSetup.exe, D3D11Install.exe) and rebooting

Nothing worked, same problem.

It is just a nonsense.

I attach my Dxdiag file.
Please help

ps: I have noticed my IDT audio drivers are a bit out of date...do you have a good link to find the latest version? Thank you.

Do you use steam cloud to save games? There was some issues with them a while ago.

If not, there could be an issue with your INI files found in the windows: libraries / documents / my games folder. They may have to be manually deleted.

I have the exact same problem, no idea why this is happening here either. I have tried all I know to fix this so far with no luck. I wonder if some sort of upgrade happened recently?

Hey mate, I have tried random things and one of them magicly worked...try deleting the Civ V folder from my documents and restart the game...the issue was solved for me and the game restarted working perfectly fine...computer's logic!

Anyway, thx as usual to all those who helped or died trying (thx especially to timtofly, I had not even seen your hint )
