Hello everyone, I am here on behalf of my wife who loves to play CIV5. She used to play on her old laptop which runs too slow. Lately I built a new PC with better specs for her to play but for some reason, all text are not loading in the game.

Screenshots: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1KjTcpN5snxdgEB8GhrO8nEYM7WnMs2as

As you can see from the screenshots posted, all texts are missing except for the "Windows" text in the in game menu.

Upon starting up the game, I get no error messages. I have verified the integrity of all files via steam before. I have deleted the CIV5 cache folder. I have tried starting in DX9, and DX 10/11. Still the problem persists.

Our copy of CIV 5 has never been modded before.

Besides not being able to see any text in the game, the game runs completely fine!

Here are my computer's specs:

OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 18362)
Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology, X579 Gaming X
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core Processor 3.8GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080
Memory: 16334MB
DirectX Version: DirectX 12
Screen Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Number of screens: 2

Please help!
Thanks in advance!

I just updated my GPU driver to the latest version too, still no dice. :(
 
Update: It turns out that when my wife played CIV 5 on her laptop, she played it with Traditional Chinese text. Once I changed the language in steam preferences to English, the text showed up. Now I just need to find a way to change this game back to Traditional Chinese.
