Was awful-buggy, I updated my drivers across the board and now it's fine and fun

It crashes, not all the time but every 3-4 hours in my case. Memory is enough, something just happens and it crashes. Apparently, nobody knows what. I'm submitting the memory dump reports to steam so they can figure it out.

No buggieness or crashes with mine. I've been playing for about 7 hours, with (1) 4 hour session and (1) 3 hours. Only thing I noticed was that running in DX9 mode was a lot smoother than DX10-11 mode.

I read on their support forum that they have issues with Nvidia cards, and I have a GeForce 9800. Crap. I'll try the DX9 tip and see how that goes, thanks.

Didn't they have Nvidia problems as well when Civ IV was released?

And ATI problems

I have an ATI DX11 card so it will be interesting how that goes.

I have quite an old ATI card, and the demo ran quite OK (some graphics settings at medium though). Only, all the leaders were negroid and I am fairly certain that Bismarck, Alexander and Augustus Ceasar were all caucasian.

That's probably because these kind of textures aren't supported by your graphics card. Some graphics engines have the option to use older directx versions (such as dx8.1). This could solve your problem if this is possible in civ5.

It's not. Only dx9, 10 and 11 are options...

Is not that about a half of all video cards in the world?
