Can0t start games

[Champi27]

Well, I bought the game today and when I tried to start my first game, the game closed. It seems that I need an update of my driver. I have an Nvidia driver but I didn´t know what version, so I used the scanner in their page. The scanner sais that I'm using the driver GeForce 505, and that I don't need any update. The problem is that, when I started looking information for downloading any update, I discovered that the GeForce 505 doesn't exist, and if it would exist it wouldn't give me any trouble, because it would be a newer version than the one needed for the game. I don't know how to solve this problem.

Please post your DxDiag file. Hit the "Windows key" + "R", type in dxdiag, hit enter. A menu will appear, with a save option at the bottom right. Select this, save it as a file and attach it to your next post.

This one?

Based on a quick look, the GT 505 appears to only support DirectX 10.1, while Civ BE specifies DirectX 11 as a minimum requirement.

Is there any way to fix it?

Don't know, but it appears that the GT 505 was not intended as a gaming card, so replacing the card may be your best choice.

OK, thanks.

A little more poking around is not revealing much promising news: http://gpuboss.com/graphics-card/Nvidia-GeForce-505-OEM-1-GB. Looks like card upgrade will be your best option.
