Visual C++ Runtime Library Error when trying to load a saved game

[jblank]

I can play a game fine, but whenever I load a saved game, I get the following message:

RUNTIME ERROR!

Program blah blah blah CivilizationV_DX11.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application support team for more information.

I reinstall it from Steam and it did the same thing, then I reinstalled Visual C++ Runtime from Microsoft, via their redistributable. It also does the same thing when I try the DX9 version.

Game has been perfectly fine since launch day, so I am more than confused as to why this morning it just crashes. Any ideas?

Do you use mods? I've had this happen recently when I accidentally loaded a modded save game without going through the mod menu.

Nope, just the Steam version and the associated DLC.

Try opening with DX9. That worked for me after I had issues, at least until it finally said "nope, not going to load for you."
