So I've been told to make a thread here... so I'm doing it...
Anyway... my issue is.. I can't get "access" to main menu in the Beta patch version without my game crashing, during the "Loading" process (no intro) the game will simply crash without any error message. The music is heard, but nothing happens.. I see the 3 logos (2k, Firaxis, Gamespy) the screen will flicker, I can here a half of a second of the actual intro before it's automatically skipped.. then the loading screen appears with the nice random wondersplash background.. but after several seconds the game, instead of going to main menu simply crashes.
Now.. I understand this is a Beta patch, and thankfully Greg told me that vanilla patch is coming BEFORE the God and Kings, but I'm seriously worried that I might very unlikely play Civ 5 if this is not just a Beta issue.
I can play the game fine without the patch without the intro.. but I do recall that I do have issues playing the intro.. The game tends to crash during the intro for no reason... and I don't know what's wrong..
While my PC is not well, IT IS CAPABLE of running the game on Medium-high settings without any major issues, I play on Windows Xp, SP3, DX9 etc. No actual gameplay issues, its' the intro that's causing the problem.
REMEMBER : I am refering to the BETA PATCh that was released for modders, the game runs fine when I roll pack and validate the files.
I have on validated my game several times, and it came up with nothing, but even after I started the game, validated files (and then it detected something wrong) the game still crashed.
