Hi everyone. I'm having double trouble with my Civilization:
1) I cannot play the game with Direct X 10 or 11, because it produces a shimmering/blinking effect in the menus, as though there was aliasing (which obviously is not the case, graphics in the menus are 2D, whright?) On direct X 9 it works just fine, although ingame looks are inferior to DX10/11.
2) Since the latest patch game shuts down my computer when I try to start a new game. Usually it happens on the leader screen, when the map is being created. I managed to get to the actual gameplay on 4th and 5th attempts, but it crashed when i wanted to reload the map ;/

Computer info:
Windows 8 Pro
Intel Core i7 2630QM @2GHz
Nvidia GeForce GT 540M
6 gigs of RAM
Laptop Samsung RF 511
attached monitor - Iiyama ProLite X2377HDS

I'm playing on full HD resolution with medium/low graphics, because otherwise the game becomes unplayable later on.

Please help! :)
