So uhhhh... yeah. It won't start. I press "Play" from Steam, and then a popup asks me whether I wish to use:
- Direct X9,
- Direct X10 & 11, or
- (having Windows 8) Touch Screen Enabled.

No matter what I select, it exits the popup, and I get nothing. Not even a background process, I checked with Task Manager. Does anyone know what to do, or is even familiar with this problem? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Happened to me on another computer. Seems to be common. Fixed with a complete reinstall. Thumbs down to steam.

Has Civ5 ever played? Can you post your Dx Diag?
