Below minimum specs .

 

did you run the game as admin? sometimes that may help

 

It's happening to me too.
Specs:

AMD Phenom II 940.
8 GB DDR2-800
Dual Radeon 4870 1GB in crossfire.

I pass the recommended specs, and get the same results, insta ctd in dx10-11, i get to see the intro movie, then ctd in dx 9.

I run Windows 7-64 bit.

I have tried some solutions, and I manage to start the game, windowed, on dx9 at 1024x768. I try to chage the rez and in ctd again.

What a POS.

 

Same problem since Steam update of yesterday (23) and only with the DX11 starter... I can play normaly with DX9 ...

Before the update all was working right (21 and 22 sept.)

It's on a i5 750, 4gb ram, Geforce 9800 GT.

The difference in graphics (between DX9 and DX11) is really big (on my screen...) So like we say here in Québec : « Ça fait vraiment chier ! »

 

Can you tell me what is occurring in DX11 when you try to go that route?

 

I am! I get the same error reports as th3inf3ct10n. Ive tried everything now but nothing works. The only things that remain now is formatting the harddrive, and after that buing a new computer.
My computer is above the min. requirements though.

 

im dx9 since i only have a nvidia 9800 gt i can play but too large of a map and i cant do my cards best resolution but im playing except for the ocasional hiccup

 

I was hoping this would be fixed with the latest patch but alas it was not. Civ 5 will randomly crash with the following error. It does seem to happen more often after a save but not always. Luckily so far the saves have not been corrupted.

Error before the update:
