Hello Fellow Die Hard Civ 5 Fans:

Mods: If this thread does not belong please move it or delete it.

I am running into a load game error on my laptop. I rebooted my laptop twice and had all the updates installed etc. When I start Steam it will open up with the option box where I choose to use DX 10/11. The program loads up and the game screen will come up with the options of single, multiplayer, load game, etc. I hit load game and choose my game which I want to continue with. Then a window pops up and says Run Time Error C++ Library DX11.exe .... perhaps not word for word verbatim but a message like this pops up. Can't continue. You hit close or the upper right x in the corner and the entire program closes. I thought rebooting would fix this but has not perhaps today when I get a chance to look at it again it will open.

Also...I have been able to start a new game. So the program works and the game plays...meaning a completely NEW game. So with this ... the new game in operations I hit the menu button and choose load game or perhaps I have to go back to main menu and then choose load game. I choose the game which I want to load...the one I can't open...and the same window error message pops up.

Other than saying this is a MSFT problem or a Win 8 OS problem have you guys on the forum come across this before while loading games.

When I closed the game down last I did a proper save.

Any thoughts would be great.

Thanks

This problem has been seen when trying to load modded games. Do your save files use mods?

Thanks

Yes this particular game has mods loaded. Never knew. Dang It. Loved the map and game. Now I know.

Try this: Start a new game and load the mods that are used by your save game. Then try to load the modded save game. Does that work?
