OK just for grins...
I have a family trip coming up and need something time consuming to occupy my time other than hyperactive 4 year olds. And alcohol is frowned upon..
I installed Civ 5 on my laptop, thinking that even if it's older maybe it is still playable on dx9 with low, low settings.
Athlon 64 X2 dual core 2ghz, 2ghz ram, Win 7, suck ass integtated ati graphics. But it plays civ 4 just fine, thank you, albeit on lower settings, but still playable.
Wrong. Civ 5 will not even LAUNCH, even in DX9 mode. It goes to blackscreen and never, ever comes out. I googled around and tried some config files changes but nah. And I see people with modern laptops, with decent discreet graphics even, that can't get it to work either.
So who is playing on a PC laptop, and what is it, what kind of experience is it?
At this point I'm probably loading Civ 4 on it and maybe Portal 2 to hold me over.
Oh and why bother with Civ 5? I am trying not to go back to Civ 4 because I don't want to unlearn the Civ 5 tactics. Yes, it's a broken mess. But I would like to build my experience on every game, not run back to mama and play Civ 4.
