Civilization 5 Errors: Crashes or Glitches Solutions Guide

1. Civilization 5 Game Freezes Solution

The game freezes for some users at seemingly random times. Lowering the graphics on leaders solves the problem. That can be true if the link between game engine and the Video options interface are completely messed up since Civilization 5 crashes.

2. Civilization V "Out of Memory" Error Solution

Reducing your graphics to a lower setting may solve this problem. If not, find the value in the config(ini) file, "HideOutOfVRamWarning" and set HideOutOfVRamWarning = 1 using notepad. This should remove the warning message.

3. Civilization 5 Intro Movie Solution

Go To: "My DocumentsMy GamesSid Meiers Civilization 5" and open usersettings.ini in Notepad. About 15 lines down you will find "SkipIntroVideo = 0". Change this value to 1. This will skip the intro video and you will be entered to the game menu directly.

4. Civilization 5 Error Code: -5009: 0x8000ffff Solution

Clean the temp folder. If that doesn't work, fix corrupt install shield files. Go to "C:Program FilesCommon FilesInstallShieldProfessionalRunTime," and delete or rename IsProBE.tlb then re-run the install.

5. Civilization 5 Won't Install from Disc Solution

Requires download from Steam. Try deleting all the game files and re-install the game using setup.exe from the disk.

Add "-w 1024 -h 768 -refresh 60". Run the game again, and change video settings in game options to this resolution and refresh rate.
