It's not working yet but it got a little further - says a dll is missing so I'll follow the instructions for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 27 June 2016 Share Posted 27 June 2016 argh!! Tried every tip on every page and still no Civ 5. I re-installed it 6 or 7 times (3h install). So decided to buy red Alert 3 as I'd read it can be played under windows 10 - that won't go further than the first screen after install either - just disappears. Eador works fine but not these 2. Any help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beliall Posted 27 June 2016 Share Posted 27 June 2016 Do you have any other programs running? shut down anything unnecessary and then try. for example if i have MSI afterburner running, games like elite dangerous wont start either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beliall Posted 27 June 2016 Share Posted 27 June 2016 Some applications and games require DirectX 9. However, your computer includes a more recent version of DirectX. If you install and then run an application or game that requires DirectX 9, you might receive an error message such as "The program can't start because d3dx9_35.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." To resolve this issue, go to the following Microsoft website to install DirectX End-User Runtime: DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer Note When you run this package, no change is made to your version of DirectX, Direct3D 9, Direct3D 10.x, Direct3D 11.x, DirectInput, DirectSound, DirectPlay, DirectShow, or DirectMusic.

Guest Posted 27 June 2016 Share Posted 27 June 2016 Got the opening credits and the loading screen up - I felt so happy - then it just closed. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beliall Posted 27 June 2016 Share Posted 27 June 2016 a bit abstract as solutions go, but here I looked on the 2K website and they said this is because your windows username contains unknown english letters or somthing, just change your windows username so that it doesnt have any capital letters or numbers or anything, thats what worked for me. Hope it helps you. if it was me, i would back up the dll you downloaded, store it on desktop or something, then verify the game cache again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinder_Fawx Posted 28 June 2016 Share Posted 28 June 2016 incredible game, but the big question is: Julii, Scipii or Brutii? Depends on my mood. I tend to play custom battles and siege walls and stuff. (although I rig it so I win 'cause I'm actual dog shit at the game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
