Do the same for the CivilizationV.exe, CivilizationVdx11.exe, and launcher.exe files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\sid meier's civilization v\ (if installed on C:).

Find your Steam shortcut (or the Steam.exe file), right-click it, and made sure the compatibility settings are disabled. If the launcher will not allow you to run DirectX 10/11 Mode on Windows 7 stating that it requires SP2, you are probably running either Steam or Civilization V in compatibility mode. *Game asks for SP2 to use DirectX 11 Mode on Windows 7 In Steam settings, change your download region and try the download again. Be sure to turn it back on once the game is installed.Īnother possible cause is trouble connecting to Steam's download server. Temporarily disable your antivirus and try downloading the game again. This is usually caused by antivirus software stopping the Steam client from downloading the game.

Some of these workarounds may no longer work. As of December 2018, an updated launcher is used.
