Steam has just downloaded another patch for me...

Version 1.0.0.20

Patchnotes (source):

Modding - Installer and permissions fixes. Should address any remaining mod download and install issues.
Full screen crash fix. Game will now restart in Windowed mode if it cannot find a suitable full-screen resolution on first start.
Hall of Fame now records data correctly when using a Windows username with special characters.
Deal expiration fixes.
Fix for Puppet State production exploit.
Misc crash fixes.

Shut down steam completely and restart it, online, then it should dl automatically. Did you have the previous version or is this a fresh install?

Don't you ever turn off the computer then? That should be a fairly simple way to shut down steam once in a while...

I don't think you'd have to restart Steam to start the update. I wouldn't be suprised if you got the patch without noticing.

It should have downloaded automatically, sometimes a restart of steam is required but they usually tell you. Have a look at the civ 5 .exe file. The version number should tell you.
