Got the same issue. Game just won't start anymore, put keeps stuck in the loading screen without any error message whatsoever.
Re-installed last night, but didn't work either .

Taking the old files from steam from your paper bin seems to help with singleplayer.

Try deleting the intro movies, as I had a simliar issue and only until I deleted the files for the intros did the issue stop.

Looked at your thread and tried it. didnt work. I found a different way. I had previously deleted and reinstalled alll things in steam exept steam.exe and steamapps.
After this my civ didnt work. So i retrieved the old files from the bin and now it works.

If you are using F-Secure (Internet Security) try disabling real time scanning on it. I had the same issue and this got the game working again for me.

I found this hint on the 2K CiV forums, maybe there's more info about it there by now. So check there too if this doesn't help you.

I was wondering if there are any security risks if I disable the real time scanning from F-secure while being connected to the internet? Yesterday I re-started Steam in the offline mode and turned off my WLAN modem altogether before I disabled F-secure, the game worked this way too.

You don't have to disable it alltogether (I also don't like to do that), instead you can exclude the CiV folder explicitely under F-Secure settings. Worked for me.
