Before updates about a year ago I could play in 3d surround @5100 x 900 with i5 2500k and 2x gtx570's and get about 15fps when fully zoomed and most settings maxed. Most of settings wouldn't help fps but at normal zoom i'd get about 45fps so that was all good. and it never crashed!! not even on my old pentium4! But then the update happened. When i'd go to zoom out (even on a fresh game) it would last about 5 secconds before freezing and the only to get out was ctrl alt delete, start task manager and hit 'close program' in the error window titled 'civ v has stopped working'. Now ive upgraded to i73820 and 3x gtx670's and performance is the same and freezing problem remains. I've got the gods and kings expansion and that doesn't help either. I haven't tried to roll back to a previous version and the problem could actually be caused by nvidia driver updates. Really dissapointing because the game ran so well before and now it is unplayable. If anyone is playing this game in surround and having success i'd sure like to know!! Also what happened to the detailed reports for so many games on WSGF that I used to look at? It seems they have just dissapeared! win7 64bit 6120x1080 res 16gb ram 2gb vram (usage at about 1700meg before crash) Civ v on Steam with all updates and expansion nvidia 314.22

I'm having the exact same issue. Also occurring with Sid Meier's Railroads! (even if set to windowed mode via .ini). There has to be a fix available. I'm trying to contact nVidia and 2K support... but no responses yet.

I'm trying to contact nVidia and 2K support... but no responses yet. Figured it out. Delete all of the opening video files (eg Civ5_Opening_Movie_en_US.wmv) from the root folder of the game. Now launches with no problems.
