Civilization 5 crashes often during play

civilization-5

Civilization 5 crashes repeatedly on my system. I can play for 10 minutes but then the system will crash.

I am playing Civilization 5 gods and kings (from the Gold Edition / Steam install).

Here is my system.

Here is my dxdialog and other info:

And then my civ 5 configuration

I also found a lot of people are having the same problem. I don't really see a good solution in there.

I found this, there doesn't seem to be a solution (overheating and civ 5):

I am running win8 pc I had this problem before here is how I fixed it:

  1. Update graphics driver
  2. Run as administrator
  3. Options->Video Options->GPU Texture Decode->OFf->Restart game

If it didn't work: 4. Options->Video Options->Vsync->OFf->Restart game
