Hello,

2 Days ago I played Civ 7, no problem.

Yesterday I started Civ 7 and just before the first screen with text from Civ 7 comes, the screen closes.

I found many people that weren't able to get Civ 7 runnning, however they weren't able to play the game at all.
So their problem is different from mine.

I started Civ 7 from the link on my computer, but also through steam (using DX12 and Vulkan). In steam I checked the integrity of the game files (no problem).

I rebooted the computer, I turned it off an on. I make sure I do not start any other program and I wait until the final driver for Windows is loaded.

Nothing I do seems to help.

I have a Windows 11 PC with an AMD CPU and an AMD graphics card. I installed the latest update of the game and I installed the free black-beard scenario/DLL.

But that all worked, I must have restarted my game at least a few times with these latest updates.

I hope someones is able to tell me what to do.

To be exact as to what happens in which sequence:

- I start the game
- After a few seconds the screen turns black
- A few seconds late a blue loading circle starts turning
- A few seconds late the screen closes and I am back in Windows
- Normally I should now see a screen with music where I can select to load a game or start a new game, but this screen will not open.



Kind regards,

Clemens Linders
