Anyone having trouble with the demo?

[VladDrakken]

No matter what, my Civ 5 demo crashes on the intro movie. Anyone got a idea?

From what I heard, everyone's having trouble with it.

Maybe try the other exe, if you're using the non dx11 one try the dx11 one and vice-versa (they are in steamapps/common/sid meier's...)

Another thing you might try is renaming the intro movie. This will make the game stay in a black screen for a while, then boot you to the menu directly.

And the movie can also be deactivated via the .ini file, which should be somewhere located in My Documents\My Games.
