Same problem here. I’ve reinstalled, checked games cache, nothing seems to work.

I have only positive emotions at this stage - let's face it, after 1660 hours on Civ5, I am ready for something new. As for the graphics, it will be good to have something that works on a 4K monitor. I'm really looking forward to expandable cities and using combined arms. Give me terraforming...

Kudos to the OP; well-reasoned argument, like so many others that followed. I spent NZ$116 on the game and have not got my money's worth--having only played 56 hours so far. A few of those hours have been exciting, but most have been annoying: if Susan Faceache quotes Adam Smith again, I'll...

Very grateful to you Hinkle. I'm pre-loading on Steam now and will get an hour or so in [Christchurch, NZ at 6am on 24 October] before work--or before I ring in sick.

Or, you might believe this.

Thanks for the suggestions. However, I will pass unless I get a financial windfall. Steam has me stitched up due to dual Mac/PC play (I tend to play on the BootCamp side of my Mac). I think it's a combination of 2K and Steam marketing departments. As much as I want to try this new version of...

I'm a junkie—911 hours. Goodness knows how many I'll rack up when CivBE gets released; I have hundreds on SMAC/X. Slightly sad, but you're never alone when you own Civ.

It's early days yet. However, what I've seen in the various articles (PCGamer particularly good) shows that this is not just SMAC/X2, or Civ5.4. We get the spirit of SMAC, with unit design workshop and a believable backstory, plus some good choices to create our path up front. I'm...
