So I have 3 computers. One at work and two at home. My main one is a really good computer and I have NO issues with it on this game but I have to leave it right now as my liquid cooling isnt working and I have to wait a month or so to fix it. But I can run the game really quickly and load in instantly on Windows XP or Windows 7 (two OS for testing reasons ^_-,why not when you have that much space).
Now my 2nd computer is windows XP and is actually a really good computer because its an old server I turned into a computer and for its cost I would say its really worth it. I hits the recommended specs literally almost perfectly so you can use that for reference if you want to know what the computer is like. Now I can actually run Civ 5 on this computer but there are a few niches. So I start up Civ 5 BNW, go into set up game, pick all my settings and lets say I do it on the larger setting (10 people, 20 city states) just because this is my favourite and I press start. Loads the game about 60% of the way into the person's speech and we are in the game. We go 10 turns in, it auto saves, then we do a quick save then a normal save and we exit the game. Now we load the game up, go into loading the saves and ALL 3 saves will hit issues. They will all be treated the same in this rule but basically there is like a 1/25 ish chance right now the save will actually load, otherwise the game just crashes on loading screen, says not responsive and doesnt load anymore. Even if i drop the graphics down to next to nothing. The one or two times It did load was after about 20 minutes of waiting which is unrealistically stupid. I play the game on max graphics with solid 60 fps and have no issues when I get into the game on this computer. Any help with this issue?
Third computer is kinda bad but just scrapes the recommended settings on windows vista but this computer has the biggest issues. It loads the game up fine on dx9/10/11 and then when I go to setup a game I wait a little while in the loading screen with the spinning ball and then windows says the game isn't responding after about 30 seconds and forces me to close it. Now the intresting thing about this computer is it actually has an old SSD on it and i put civ 5 on the SSD (yes i tried also not on the SSD) so the loading process should not be an issue. Any help with this issue?
Now for the most interesting part. Both of these computers ran civ 5 g&k PERFECTLY. Quick loads, solid fps and I never had a single issue once even when other people were having issues. Thanks for your time, I have looked around 50+ posts about things like this with no real help to be found and have tried a load of things. Im also not bad with computers so you don't have to treat me like an idiot
Thanks for your time!
