I was just wondering if any of you guys could help me, because all the tech support with firaxis sucks.
So I just starting playing my copy of Civ 5 that I bought maybe 4 months ago. I didn't realize it but my Steam was forgeted up saying that my computer was running Windows Vista 64 bit, so I reinstalled that and it fixed to the correct Windows 7 64 bit. I reinstalled Civ 5, and opened it in DirectX 10-11, which my computer can handle beyond easily. Well it worked fine, but the second I clicked my mouse to skip the intro movie, it died. The game closed. Now when I open it it's in a small window that looks minimized and it doesn't respond. So I tried DirectX 9, and this worked fine through a whole game up to about 1100 AD on standard. Then I noticed this sort of lag.
It's not like regular lag, because whenever I select something new, it doesn't show me it's menu. But the game itself runs at regular speed.
Example:
Select Crossbowman.
Tell it to move two spaces.
Works.
Then, Select Archer.
Still shows crossbowman's info and stuff.
The whole main HUD of the game updates at an extremely slow rate. This causes about 1 turn on 1100 AD to take about 20 minutes.
Any help guys? Also my graphics card is updated drivers and such.
