Civ 5 Freeze- Town build, end turn [FIXED] unknown solution

[EvilErnieSSK]

Game installs and starts fine, breezes through the opening movie without a problem, seems to run fine.

That is where I run into a snag

Whenever I start a game and either end turn, or build a city, the game goes into "think mode" Where I have no choice but to eventually task manager it to death.

My specs:
Processor: Intel Quad core2 Q9300 @ 2.5GHz
Ram: 4.00 GB
Video card: ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series

What I have already tried:
I lowered all graphics settings to minimum values
I ran it in both full screen and windows mode
I tried running the exe from the folder and through steam
I have updated all graphics drivers
I reinstalled DirectX (it runs off 9 according to the window)

Any help you can give is appreciated,

Thanks

Do i see it right, that you cannot get past turn 1 with it (not sure if i understood you right)?

Like the title says I have this problem too! In my case it is not necessarily turn 1, but random throughout the game. I tried running it on Dx9 and it seemed to work just fine. But My system is similar except older CPU Q6600, try the Dx9 for now.

I sure hope this comes in a fix later ....

Not sure what I did, since I tried so many things, but after I rebooted it after trying everything it works fine. Thanks for all your help.
