It's a known problem with the Deluxe edition. Old saves are not compatible with the new patch. They're doing a hotfix to solve the issue, should be Monday now.

Meh, doesn't sound very deluxe to me.

No, £10 extra for Babylon soon to be for sale for $5.

New Nvidia drivers that (allegedly) optimize CiV, FFXIV, FNV and a few others: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

Uh, I just installed 260.89 and now, 260.99 comes. It is quite frequent and somewhat annoying. Civ is still slow and graphics not improving much.

Is it so bad that they update frequently? If you're bothered by it, you can stop Steam from automatically updating. Not sure that works as advertised though.

There has been another Civ patch after the Mongols patch, don't know if this is the save fix or not - not had time to try it yet.

Old deluxe saves work: I finished an old game yesterday.

Actually, I was wrong. There is a huge improvement. I can now run the game on DX10 on laptop (Nvidia 310M). Previously, even though the card supports DX10, Civ always crashed (had to play in DX9) and now, out of a sudden, it works in window and full screen as well. If I play in window, it is painfully slow but I can switch to full screen in-game and its gets considerably better. Cannot switch back to windowed though because Civ crashes. If I try to exit in full screen, it also crashes. If I try to start it in full screen, it does not start but crashes. So, to play more or less normally, I have to start in window, switch in-game to full screen, crash either way upon exit and then manually edit the ini file to start in windowed mode every time. What a pain in the ass it is. Also, laptop overheats massively and the fan goes crazy and whistles like a broken hairdryer non-stop after about 5 minutes of play.

Ouch! So that's an improvement ... how?
