Christ Centered Gamer

I am desperate, my friends

I've gotten this every time I attempt to bring up Civ V



And when I select DirectX 9, this happens



I haven't played the game in months and I hurt

HELP ME

Note: I've tried reinstalling, shifting around files, and all kinds of things, all to no avail

try running it as admin?

I found some suggestions here that might work for you. If you're unsure of what those steps want, ask and you shall be informed.

I definitely have no idea what any of this means XD

FIX IT SO WE CANZ PLAI

Try these in this order, and test after each item:

• 1): Reinstall C++ library: go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization v\VCRedist\ --> Right-click vcredist_x86.exe --> run as administrator.
  
  2): Reinstall DirectX: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization v\DirectX ->Right-click DXSetup.exe --> run as administrator
  
  3): If you can, set the screen resolution to whatever your screen's native resolution is. If you need help with this one
  
  4): Adjust your user settings ini file to skip intro video: C:\Users\<User name here>\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\usersettings.ini --> right-click --> edit --> find the line with "SkipIntroVideo = 0" and replace it with "SkipIntroVideo = 1"
  
  5): Adjust your user settings ini file to skip intro video: C:\Users\<User name here>\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\GraphicsSettingsDX9.ini --> right-click --> edit --> find the line with "FullScreen = 1" and replace it with "FullScreen = 0"

For the record, has it ever actually worked on your computer before?

Oh yeah, I've logged a good 150 hours on this computer. It never particularly ran smoothly, especially late into into a round, but it always functioned well enough. I believe it was after some cruddy Steam update that it went awry.

I did everything listed, but alas, to no avail. At this rate I think I'll probably have to just wait until I get a new computer that can run it reasonably. Thanks for your help, though. For at least a moment I felt like the master of this beast. @__@

CHUCKENSUUP WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE NATION TO PLAY AS

I AM BEST AS JAPAN AND FRANCE AND ENGLAND DEPENDING ON THE MAP

WHEN PLAYING ISLANDS/ARCHIPELAGO/ETC I TEND TO PREFER CARTHAGE FOR MULTIISLAND SETTLING BECOMING VASTLY EASIER WITH FREE HARBORS

Wait.

You guys are planning on playing Civ5 and haven't invited me?

I'm hurt. :/

Well, it's going to be a month down the road before I have enough for a new computer. Only then will Civ V be mine again.

BUT YOU WILL BE THE FIRST TO KNOW WHEN THAT HAPPENS. AND ALSO MATTHIAS.

canz we plz b team trifecta of inffinit power?

Just be glad that you now CAN'T play Civ V instead of having to try and stop playing Civ V
Same thing happened to me with WoW, and I am so glad my laptop messed up at the time. Saved me potentially hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars playing that game.

except there is no monthly fee for Civ5 so really he is losing 30 dollars XD

The time draws nigh.

COUNT! WHEN IS YOUR BOLD RETURN TO THE LAND OF JAGGED MISSHAPEN CONTINENTS AND IMMORTAL RULERS TO TAKE PLACE?

AND CAN I STOP SHOUTING?
