You could try restarting your computer and immediately run the Launcher file as an Administrator, if all else fails. He managed to fix this problem by restarting his computer. This is atleast the case with other Steam games, where you get promted to perform the First Time Setup on each startup, and in order to fix this bug, you have to edit said file.įinally, a friend of mine had a similar problem with the windows prompts did not show up (this was on a Windows 7 machine). If you aren't promted with the pop-up when starting Civilization V, try running the "Launcher.exe" file located in the same folder as stated above.Īlso, if I am not entierly wrong, there is supposed to be a file located in the Civilization V folder or in a subfolder that contains data on wheter or not the First Time Setup should be performed or not, as to avoid the First Time Setup to be initialized on every startup. One of these steps usually includes installing DirectX (this does not cause any harm at all if you already have DirectX installed). This first time setup will usually contain 2 or 3 steps, and the window will tell you what step you are on. The first time you start up a Steam game, you will get one of the pop-up windows from Windows (if I recall correctly it is a pop-up, it has been a while since I used an XP) stating that a program associated with Steam is reuesting permission to run.Īfter accepting this pop-up, you will get a small Steam window with the text "performing first time setup".
