Civ 5 crashes on loading screen

Ok, so last night I just got finished doing some stuff, and decided to continue the Civ 5 game I had started ~2 hours earlier. So I do what I normally do, click the launcher, select DirectX 11, and the game goes through the intro and stuff just fine. However, when it gets to the loading screen, it works fine for a few seconds, but then the music cuts out and my cursor pops up. I then alt-tab and see the window saying "Civ 5 has stopped working", and am forced to shut it down. I've tried reinstalling, verifying the integrity of game cache, and changing my settings to skip the intro movie, but none of these seem to work.

Edit: I appear to have found a solution for this, just go to your Documents/My Games/Sid Meier's Civilization 5/cache and delete the Civ5Core, Debug, SavedGame, and UserHistoryDatabase files and it should start working fine again.

Another solution might be to hit the escape key multiple times when CIV starts loading.
