Sid Meier's Civilization V is the fifth installment of the classic Turn Based strategy game series Civilization, developed by Firaxis. All versions of Civilization V require Steam be installed to play.
Issues and Fixes
Secondary Installers
If you're encountering issues with launching Civilization V, make sure everything installed smoothly.
Aside from verifying your game cache and checking your connection with Steam, you may also need to manually run secondary installers required by this game.
Exit Steam entirely.
Browse to your Civilization V installation folder (Usually C:\Program files\Steam\Steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization v\)
Run the following installers:
...\Steamapps\Common\sid meier's civilization v\VCRedist\vcredist_x86.exe ...\Steamapps\Common\sid meier's civilization v\DirectX\DXSetup.exe
Reboot your computer and test any issues again.
If you continue to have difficulty, and you are running Windows Vista or 7, please also run the following installer (if you are using Window XP you may skip this step):
...\Steamapps\Common\sid meier's civilization v\DirectX\D3D11Install.exe
Reboot once more and test the issue again.
OS Specific Troubleshooting
If the above does not resolve the issue and you are running Windows 7 or Windows Vista, please complete the instructions in Steam's Windows 7 and Vista Troubleshooting FAQ.
If you are running in Windows XP, take the following steps:
- Exit Steam.
- Go to the "Start" menu, select "Run", type "regedit" and click "OK".
- Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\VALVE
- Right click and select "Permissions"
- Check the "Allow" boxes for "Admin" and "System" for both "Full control" and "Read".
Disabling the Starting Cinematic
A lot of people find this annoying. This tweak will not shorten the time the game launches in, as the game will show you a black screen for the small while that the cut scene would have been in.
Locate Usersettings.ini and find SkipIntroVideo = 0 then change 0 to 1.
Windows:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization V\
Mac OSX:
/Documents/Aspyr/Sid Meier's Civilization 5/
You can also delete the Civ5_Opening_Movie_en_** on your game folder or replace it with other video you please.
Problems Downloading DLC
Occasionally, when you buy DLC from Steam, you will not find it available in your game. The exact cause of this is unknown. The most effective way to fix this error would be to verify the game cache files, but you may find this doesn't work / crashes Steam. When this happens, you can fix it by uninstalling and re-installing Civilization V through Steam. Additional problems uninstalling or re-installing are Steam-related.
