I have snow leopard (10.6.6) and 2 x 3 Ghz Quad-Core intel Xeon with 9 GB memory, ATI RadeonX1900 512mb graphics card. Beginning movie runs maybe for a minute and it ends quite quickly, and then comes the menu without any text (yellow box with gray on the sides). Any info how to fix this?

Wasted $50 dollars as well, lets contact the bbb please, or class action misrepresentation and shameful business ethic

I had the same problem. The menu is outlined but all the choices are blacked out. You can navigate your way to a game but the game screen is blacked out too with the exception of the menus. Mine took almost 5 hours to download and wouldn’t launch. I got it fixed and now, it is still broken. I hope I can return it.

I have all the requirements for a Mac. I’ve got Steam downloaded and Civ5 downloaded. I see the intro, I enter the gameplay and WAMMY! Everything works but the terrain. I have all the side bars, but nothing shows up on the terrain or soldiers. Just a couple of circles that drag a shadow across the screen. I’m pulling my hair out… someone help. Any ideas?

Steam did download after a half hour on DSL. The game intro movie played OK. But the menus to start came up with just the boxes visible with no text visible. I’m afraid that I just wasted $50 also. I should have investigated first before rushing to buy. I have a Mac laptop with the integrated video and I suspect that the game is not compatible with it. It’s also the first that I’ve heard or seen of Steam and I don’t like the idea at all.

Don’t get your hopes up… It will continue loading forever, happened to me. Then it will give you the “Cannot connect” error message and won’t launch.

Just bought mine. $50 later, nothing. Won’t launch and NO customer support. What a joke. If you want to play this game, too bad — Aspyr hates you and will take your money and laugh.

Waiting for Civ5.
But will buy it only if product will native without third-party terrible download system. If civilisation 5 will sale with steam or will need for steam activation – I will not pay for it that dont want to lost money.
