I now own Civ V - what now?

Lt. Killer M · 06-12-2012, 23:37

Today, I won a game. "Any one of those over there!" I went and looked, and to my dismay found that a 10 € CIV V copy was the least unattractive. Thus, I now own Civ V.

Should I even install it?

well, this seems to take care of itself - steam install has issues, steam activation sucks, CIV V installation doesn't work.

installing Divx 9 for the sixth time now. How I hate it when they sell beta releases.

It's DirectX, not Divx...

And it is not beta, it is the first version of alpha or pre-alpha. It gets better after patches though. Sometimes. Sometimes, after patches it gets worse.

Are you installing from Steam or from a disc? Steam should install the patched version.

Bought it from steam 2 weeks ago (along with G&K expansion). Downloading and installing from there went fine.

(And so far, I think, installing is worth the time. Don't know yet how much I like it, but it looks and feels nice. Although strategy seems to be different. Maybe worse than Civ IV)

You can try. It does not like to get installed. Also, you'd need Steam. I have not uninstalled it but have not played for a long long time.

Uh, cross-posting. You are doing it right now, or so it seems.
