Maybe these will help. This is from the tablet. No textures on normal terrain, just a base color.

OK. I rescind my taking back of the tolerable thing. After some more futzing, I found that the recently updated graphics driver (laptop) had reset the adapter to "battery saving" mode even when plugged in. After putting the stupid thing back in performance mode, I can now play (on the laptop)...

I have the cloud enabled and am attempting to load a cloud save... DX9 mode still consistently crashes. I'll try a couple things (deleting local saves, disabling/enabling cloud) to see if there's a way they're related. As a side note, I have never gotten the message shown in beginning of...

OK. I take back the tolerable thing. I checked the gray box thing at the last post and that does seem to be a bit better, but now the system doesn't seem to be able to switch between units anymore... at least the current unit part at the bottom left. It seems to be controlling the unit I...

OK. The driver seems to have made the gray box problem tolerable (only happens once briefly and then is gone) on the laptop in DX10/11 mode. Pea soup on the tablet, however, is persistent. And it doesn't explain why it's crashing in DX9 mode. Thanks for the help so far. Never trust...

I'll try it. The bottom line is, it's been working just fine until last night when steam pushed out the update. And it works in DX10/11 mode, just with the jumping gray boxes. DX9 mode had been working great. In fact, the jumping gray boxes weren't an issue until the update either...

OK. Here's the zip of my Kamehameha save.

Here is the other DXdiag...

I'm attempting to attach my save game - Kamehameha ... crashes in DX9 mode. Nevermind. Too big by a few hundred k...

This is the same problem I've been having (minus the pea soup terrain) ( http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=479397 )... I don't know if you can run it in DX10/11 mode but that works for mine only with graphics problems (which is why I was running in DX9 mode). I'm hoping they...

Oh... I have played with the graphics extensively re: the pea soup thing. Right now (tablet) terrain settings are all low. Texture detail is high.

Here's the DXdiag for the tablet. Laptop is not nearby. Perhaps I can get that one later.

Update: Started a new game. No problems so far... Could the problem be with the save file and if so, is there a way to resurrect it?

I am running Civ V on two different machines. One is a Dell laptop, the other is a Samsung tablet PC. Dell runs Win 7 Tablet runs Win 8 The upgrade to Win 8 on the tablet turned all my terrain (grassland) to a pea soup texture which is almost impossible to look at. Resources look like...
