Mine is at /Users/MYUSERNAME/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Sid Meier's Civilization V/Civilization V.app Using the Finder find the game application.Result: Workaround found, minimal changes required and the game is running with expansions and without errors. Special thanks to this thread for the inspiration. (At least until Valve gets its rear in gear.)Īction: Googling for info and hacking files to get Civ 5 running. Task: Find a hack/fix/workaround to get Civ 5 to launch again. The break is caused by the Steam client update and they keep telling us to contact Aspyr. Many players are posting their experiences in the steam community and sending crash reports to Aspyr and Valve, but it doesn't look like anything will be fixed soon.
Situation: On Oct 6th or 7th Valve rolled out an update to the Steam Client that crashes Civ 5 on game launch.
