I just finished a game last week and had no problems with it at all. I have over 9000 hours playing, so not a newbie. After trying to start a new game, I've encountered a problem which has made Civ unplayable.
When the game is starting up, there are numerous issues. Some civ choices do not display correctly in either the menu, or when selected. When selecting a civ, and also after the leader screen shows, a popup shows up saying "Unable to load texture [xxxx.dds]" Multiple game loads display a different texture every time. I have attached a sample. Once the game starts, a large area of the game is unfogged and the screen looks radically different than what I have seen before. Settler has 5 moves, etc. And there is always a popup that says "Unable to load texture [NewPromos.dds]", both initially and also whenever I move a unit.
This first occurred running Windows 7. I have since upgraded to Windows 10. I have reinstalled Civ 5 from Steam under both OSes. The same behavior occurs under all directx options. I have made no recent changes to my PC prior to this problem.
