Doing some googling, it seems this is a pretty common problem. Can't save games to the HDD, and trying to load any new saved games regardless of mods, turns, city/unit counts, or any other factor results in a crash to desktop and an error message. Updating drivers seems to have no impact either. I can't seem to find any word of a patch in the works to fix this -huge- issue, and it's basically making Civ 5 unplayable because you can't reload a previous save. So it's pretty much "Get as far as you can before you need to shut off the game"

Anyone else heard about a fix or a WIP patch for this? I can always reinstall the game and turn off auto update, though that means no Mongol DLC or the Babylon pack that I bought.

I haven't had this problem, my main beef is that my school provided laptop darn near melts after playing civ 5 for an hour.

Bump: Just found this on the 2K forums. Anyone getting these runtime crashes, try this fix:

It works!

Steps taken:

1. Disable steam cloud synchronization (steam -> settings -> downloads+cloud)
2. Take steam offline (steam -> go offline)

Result:

Game no longer crashes when I click "Load Game". I can load games successfully.


Seems 5 people have tried this and it's fixed their issue. It doesn't seem to work for -everyone-, 2 users reported issues still, but it's worth a shot. If you're getting this issue, try running the game unsynched and offline. I intend to try it myself when I get home so that I can finish painting the free world Red as the mighty USSR (Thank you Civ 5 mod community for the USSR + Stalin mods )
