Multiplayer
- The latest patch resolves most of the reported multiplayer bugs.
Multiplayer Games Dropping or Disconnecting During Play
Sometimes players will be dropped after a multiplayer match has progressed for several dozen turns or more. After reloading the game, the player will repeatedly disconnect. This problem can be caused by an insufficient MTU value on the network connection. Changing it before starting the multiplayer game can often fix the problem. To do so, enter the following in the command prompt:
| Instructions |
|---|
Windows and OS X version mismatch
The OS X version is not handled by Firaxis or 2K Games, so they only develop patches for Windows. Another company (Aspyr) handles the OS X version of the patches, after they have been released on Windows. As a result, OS X patches are released later than Windows patches. You cannot play multiplayer unless the versions match, so after a Windows update, you cannot play online against OS X until the OS X has also been patched.
Windows
Unable to run DirectX 11
If the DirectX 11 option is unavailable, try the following.
- Ensure Steam is not running in Compatibility Mode.
| Instructions |
|---|
- This may also be caused by out of date drivers.
- DirectX 10/11 Mode will not work on XP.
- Not all video cards are capable of running DirectX 10 or 11, even with Windows 7. Intel Core i3 integrated graphics do not support DirectX 11 Mode in Civilization V.
Disappearing cursor
- Enabling pointer trails in Windows may cause the cursor to disappear or act strangely. Disable this feature while playing.
Black screen (anti aliasing issue)
- Enabling anti-aliasing on DirectX 11 mode may cause the game to turn black. It is recommended that you enabled anti-aliasing through your graphics software, and not the game. If antialiasing is enabled and this issue is present (causing the screen to be black), you can edit
GraphicsSettingsDX11.inito fix this.
Issues with resolution (screen cutoff)
Sometimes after installing the game, the game resolution will be larger than the screen and parts of the game will be cut off. To fix this, go into options and change the game resolution. If you are unable to access the options, manually edit GraphicsSettingsDX9.ini or GraphicsSettingsDX11.ini (depending on which DirectX mode you use) in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5 to the correct resolution (1024x768 Minimum).
Virtu MVP
If the game does not run, or will not start most of the time, and nothing else seems to fix the problem, Virtu MVP might be causing the issue. Try unchecking Civ 5 DirectX 9 and Civ 5 DirectX 10/11 in the Virtu MVP control panel.
Issues with opening movies
If the game crashes to desktop or loads to a black screen, then there may be an incompatibility with the video files. Deleting the WMV video files from the Civilization V folder may allow the game to run, as the expense of losing the opening movies.
The video files for Civilization V are located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\sid meier's civilization v. If you have Gods and Kings, you will also need to delete the videos from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\sid meier's civilization v\Assets\DLC\Expansion
"N" Versions of Windows may not be compatible with the opening videos.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/8930/in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (8930) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
