Civ V crashes every time I try to load a game!

[bonafide11]

Just bought Civ V yesterday, played it with no problems yesterday, then this morning I go to load a game and after a few seconds of the load screen it goes silent and crashes. Tried it numerous times and it always did the same thing. So I tried starting a new game and it is still doing it with starting a new game. This is a new computer that has all the specs to be able to play the game, and it played it without problems yesterday, so I don't know what the deal is. Can anyone help?

I uninstalled and reinstalled it and now it works. If anyone else has this problem, you should try the same. I was using Steam btw.

this is a bug especially late game and maps over the standard . may be the new patch

There is no fix for this problem yet. It is suppose to be fixed in the next patch..

Every subsequent save (even for a new game) increases in size until your system just can't load any saved game without crashing..

Example:

Look in your my documents games civ5 single quicksave directory..

Quicksave your games 5x in a row and the quicksave file just grows even though you haven't done a thing in game.

Now start a new game and quicksave again a couple times and the file just keeps growing.

Temporary fix..

Delete EVERYTHING in your Saves Directory before starting a new game to make sure you do not have any old saved games.

Your first save should be around 560k and then it just keeps growing after every new save. Just don't try to save too often. I've turned off autosave in my game settings too.

So I got multiple save files.. Save1, Save2, Save3, etc..

If I want to go back to Save1, I delete Save2 and Save3 and exit the game and then restart it so my next save will be more or less the size of the deleted Save2 file.

Yeah, the growing savegames bug is known, and should have already been fixed. Hopefully they'll do it in one of the next patches :/.

It is possible that the latest autosave game is corrupt. I had this happen once when it crashed while saving. Even if I chose a previous save game, it would crash while loading. Once I deleted the latest autosave game (from windows explorer while the game was not running) and then loaded the previous did I get going again. This would affect new games too since new games try to move all the old autosave games and anytime that file was accessed by Civ5 the application would crash.
