Finally fixed:


Thank you for contacting 2K Support and for your interest in Beyond Earth. I can certainly understand how encountering this type of issue may be frustrating to experience and I will do everything in my power to assist as best I can!

Firstly, please do each of the following, to ensure that the game and all its additionally required software is properly installed:

1. Verifying Game Cache
   · Load Steam.
   · From the Library section, right-click on the game and select “Properties” from the menu.
   · Select the “Local files” tab and click the “Verify integrity of game cache” button.
   · Steam will match the local files to the cloud files, and fix any errors it encounters.
   
   
2. Reinstalling DirectX
   · In the Steam installation folder of the game you’re having trouble with, there will be typically be a DirectX setup package.
   · Example file path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meiers Civilization Beyond Earth\DirectX\
   · Find and run DXSETUP.exe
   · Reboot the computer (mandatory)
   
   
3. Reinstalling Vcredist
   · Navigate to your game’s steam folder – there will typically be a Vcredist folder.
   · Example file path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meiers Civilization Beyond Earth\ _CommonRedist\vcredist\2012
   · Find and Run vcredist_x86.exe
   · Find and Run vcredist_x64.exe
   · Should the files already be installed, you will be prompted to either ‘uninstall’ or ‘repair’. Choose ‘repair’.
   · Reboot the computer (mandatory)

Yesterday I played Civ:BE, then last night my computer updated when I shut it down. This morning when I clicked on the Civ:BE desktop shortcut the game started to load, then it stopped. Same when I went into Steam and tried to start the game that way. I checked and I can start and play Civ6 from my desktop icon, so the issue appeared to be exclusive to Civ:BE. Steam said I was up to date on everything. Tried shutting down my laptop and restarting, and same problem. Un-installed and re-installed Civ:BE, and that fixed the problem. FYI in case anyone else runs into a problem where only Civ:BE won't start from your Steam library.
