Civilization V Forum

Switching them to low works.

The game will not launch -at all- if Leader Quality is set above Minimum. The solution is to edit or remove the user config .ini files in your Civ5 user dir and restart the game.

Never mind, I'm having the same issue of it not loading at all, but I can't find that INI file.

The config file is in /home/USERNAME/My Games/Sid Meier's Civilization 5 Demo, where USERNAME is your system username. I'm having an issue where the game will freeze (in most ways) once it finishes loading the game after I've chosen my game settings. The maps behind the loading screen shows, but the button at the bottom of the screen that I'm supposed to press in order to start the game doesn't work. Audio and cursor still works, but I have to force close the game. After this initial attempt the behavior is a little different unless I delete the config folder in the My Games directory. I can't remember what the exact behavior is on subsequent attempts with the same config directory, but in any case I get to the same point and it fails in basically the same way.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit with the latest CrossOver release on a ThinkPad W500. Let me know if any further info would be helpful.

Thanks.

I had checked there, but there wasn't a folder yet. It turned out my issue was with VC++ 2008, so the game wasn't even getting to the point where it would make the folder. But it's working now, I kept almost all the settings on Med or lower and haven't had any game stopping issues.

How did you fix the VC++ issue?
Edit: Never mind, I figured it out.
