Hey fanatics!
So, it's been about six months since i got civ 5, been playing it on and off and mainly enjoying it. But after having had a long break, updated heaps of patches i still have the same problems as i've always had and now it's sort of come to the point where i feel like i have to get to the bottom of it if possible. Checked the buglist for the problems and none of them seem to match, so here's a list if anyone has any solutions or suggestions.
1. after civ is done loading the screen goes black. This might have something to do with directx 10/11. I Have vista and a compatible graphics card but i've seen this happen in a few other games, although changing it to directx9 in Civ 5 doesn't make any difference.
2. OMGWATSDAT?! blob. Basically a huge element on the screen in a brown color which comes up for no apparent reason. restarting the computer fixes this, but it gets quite annoying after a while.
3. Crash: crash if i load anything other than quicksave unless i do it really quickly. Crash if im the civolpedia, crash in the middle of the game for no reason. The crash always occurs with the music muting for a short period twice. the the mouse turns into a windows mouse in the middle of the screen and is movable, nothing else is and when you move it out to the corners of the game it turns into the civ mouse again.
so there are my three little demons, any help is appreciated.
