HWGreen (2010-09-25)

finally! Was waiting for this, now to spend a few hours downloading and then I'll disappear for a few years...

LongTimeNoPee (2010-09-25)

The other Civ torrent works with the Skidrow crack.

HWGreen (2010-09-25)

hmm lots of seeders but for some reason i can't connect to them... i have 10 percent and a ratio of 4.539

Brunaland (2010-09-25)

Works perfect!

createcoms (2010-09-25)

F**** ALL other Civ 5 torrents. I'm seeding 10Mbit just to spite all those other wannabes....

TheFacts (2010-09-25)

multiplayer lan mode howto:
- backup steamclient.dll
- open steamclient.dll in any hex editor.
- search for SKIDROW â€“ first match at 0Ã—31040 is it. you see pid before, SAVES after
- change SKIDROW to any other name â€“ keep it 7 charakters length
- save it
- start civ5, host a lan game, check if your name has changed (if it didnt work, you messed something up - try again)
- if so, you can now play lan games with friends (even over openvpn) since everyone got another name
have fun with friends ^^

BTW thanks the uploader!!

Levelstar (2010-09-25)

1275 leechers, 5 seeders and downlading at 5k/sec, come on guy seed please

Cal001 (2010-09-25)

Unfortunately it crashes over here as soon as I try to start a new game. That doesn't have tp be the crack's fault though, as there seems to be a lot of people out there experiencing crashes with their retail copies of the game.

TheFacts (2010-09-25)

@ishelic: gosh! of course not! do you know any current game which has the internet multiplayer working? its usually not possible.
instead, cheer up and be happy you can abuse the LAN mode to play with friends via internet! much more than i expected...
@cal001: does the demo run? i guess its just crappy hardware

Cal001 (2010-09-25)

TheFacts: The demo runs just fine on maximum settings. It turned out that if I lower the video settings, it seems to stop crashing - I have no idea which one of the settings are causing the crash though. Strange though that I didn't encounter this problem in the demo, but at least I can play now - it's not like I think that eye candy is the most important thing in a TBS anyway. So, thanks to AiTB for uploading this :)

TheCracker2010 (2010-09-25)

DON'T DOWNLOAD - VIRUS!
Kaspersky tells me:
Civ5 tries to insert Code, through the installation of a global flaw, into all processes.
So don't download this torrent, it's a virus!

TheFacts (2010-09-25)

@cal001: sounds good - you can play. anyways: stable at low settings, unstable at high settings - maybe you should run a heat-benchmark like furmark in heat-mode. perhaps your computer only crashes if some circuts are used very much, so the temperature exceeds a certain level and everything goes south.
of course, the demo running without problems doesnt fit my idea. but since it seams to run at other people, test your hardware to make sure.

TheFacts (2010-09-25)

@TheCracker2010: dont believe you.
since a) btarena is a site not famous for inserting trojans in their releases (aka good site)
b) what your virusscanner describes sounds just like the way many cracks work - ever read about the concept of cracks?
c) your name sound retarded. sorry to say so, but trolls with uncreative names are easy to find
d) you sure you dont work for an unnamed corp. and dont want people to download?

PAinKiLLa777 (2010-09-25)

Game crashes half way though first cut scene.

Pliskin.s (2010-09-25)

Is this the Deluxe version ?

pirata_ako_tae (2010-09-25)

is this working?

createcoms (2010-09-25)

Share Ratio 2.8 and going up! :)

katie916 (2010-09-25)

thanx works fine keep up the good work
much love for you skid
and for rest of you cry babys dont complain its a free game and he puts hard work into it

JackSpencer (2010-09-25)

Well, the FIRST THING that happens when I try to install is that I connect to steam and it asks for the CD key. Kinda hard to install with Steam stomping all over it.

JackSpencer (2010-09-25)

OK. Couple of things. One is that to INSTALL the game, use the INSTALLER.EXE not the setup.exe. Next, make sure to repair the C++ redistributable or it will crash.
I copied over the SKIDROW files overwriting all and the game runs fine! NO SIGN of any viruses. Can run tutorials and single player. I have not tried multiplayer.
Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
So I downloaded the game, seeded for a while until I got 100% seeded. I used PeerBlock and crossed my fingers. (hope I don't get the dreaded letter from Firaxis to my ISP)

createcoms (2010-09-25)

JackSpencer did you run Installer or Setup? I'm thinking you ran Setup - you should run Installer......

Dimmis80 (2010-09-25)

Hi guys.It dont let me to install the game.!!I run the installer and it starts the installation prosses but when its in 98% it says "Error:The Installer failed due an internal error.Error Code 00050000.Make sure you have all files and the required permissions to install".So WTF is this.Anyone else who has this problem.!?Any solution or help it would be great.!??

iridis_alpha (2010-09-25)

they way to stop this crashing during the first movie cutscene is to set SkipIntroVideo =1 in the usersettings.ini - on XP its in C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME\My Documents\MyGames\Sid Meier's Civilization 5

Pungo_SR (2010-09-25)

WTF. Piratebays posting has gone to shit.

TheFacts (2010-09-25)

- people who cant read autorun.inf make me sad
- people who cant figure out, there are two .exe's make me sad
- people, who dont read before posting annyoed comments make me sad
but playing civ5 makes it all up and i am smiling!
conclusion: if you turn of autorun on your cdrom drives, make sure to know what autorun is ...

if it wouldnt hurt any of the big dog uploaders i would like, to upload the crack here which where working great me ? is that kewl enuff ?

anuzbitt (2010-09-25)

haha btw i love your fucking install music :D i blast it up everytimes !! looool

odytzi (2010-09-25)

It is not working...
CRASH AS EVERYTHING AND EVERYWHERE

Pliskin.s (2010-09-25)

Thanks alot Aitb, Skid rowdies Rule !
works great for me with all maximum settings and resolution.

odytzi (2010-09-25)

I have tried everything....
I don't know what is happening...
every civ 5 crashed for me even the demo!!!
Fuck it...
I have tried everything nothing can be done

TheFacts (2010-09-25)

ody, if even the demo fails, why cry out loud here? ever considered to upgrade your 486? or did you try the official support forums? if the demo fails, its OBVIOUSLY an issue of the manufacturer.

stormwoo (2010-09-25)

thanks AiTB
it's really good for me. good job!!!

odytzi (2010-09-25)

I have the requirements...
I don't know why this happens...
I have allready downloaded the latest drivers...
Its my pc responsible for not working this thing or the game??

torrent_novice (2010-09-25)

hi there as the name suggests im a complete novice and no nothing about torrents, however have just downloaded this game, how do i go about playing it? Could someone explain to me please?

smurfmurfet (2010-09-25)

@Brunaland - This is a skidrow release. Hence the name

"Sid.Meiers.Civilization.V-SKIDROW-[tracker.BTARENA.org].iso"

Idiot trying to get seeds on his own torrent.

strzempa (2010-09-25)

works :)

Zukku (2010-09-25)

FOR THOSE WHO CRASH AT INTRO, THIS IS THE FIX:
Civilization can NOT use letters like Ã¸,Ã¥,Ã¦ and so on.. Therefor if your account on windows/mac is called someting like BjÃ¸rn or whatever. You WILL crash.
I fixed this problem by making a new account in "control panel" called Backup and then i went logged in on the backup then, into the installation folder and ran the exe. And the problem was fixed. Good luck guys.

Gloogloos (2010-09-25)

ight so i installed it and at first it didnt work at all, so i had to find the missing dll and install it, now it boots up but the opening cin. (which has no sound) turns to a black screen and plays what im assuming is the menu music, one time warning messages popped up saying it couldnt load a bunch of textures, anyone know any fix for this

stuka1000 (2010-09-25)

If anyone is getting crashes when loading up the map (ie when at the loading screen that shows your civ leader) go to the game options and turn fog of war to low. The problems in this game are not the fault of the guys who bend over backwards here for our gaming pleasure but with the game itself, it's one of the most bug ridden releases this year and that's saying a lot. Just look at all the complaints on the official civ 5 forums about these exact same crashes with the retail versions.

crier82 (2010-09-25)

Buy this game guys, it's really worth it. The game is awesome and already has patch available correcting some nuisances like the crashing cos of special caracters on user path.

777-200ER (2010-09-25)

I get a CTD every time I build a city at the beginning of the game. Very frustrating.

Bytedragon (2010-09-25)

Am I the only on e who can't find the serial? =/

homefield9312 (2010-09-25)

Is it supposted to be installed by steam?

darkozzy123 (2010-09-25)

Thanks Thanks Thanks!!!!!!! great game/torrent works fine only prob is the intro is kinda messed up but i used the "skid row crack only" and deamon tools to mount it bam worked so easy thank you good sirs will seed

darkozzy123 (2010-09-25)

@Gloogloos yea its your direct x. uninstall then reinstall i had that same prob when i upgraded my ci4 to BTS hope this helps

Ralazor (2010-09-26)

People seed PLEASE. D:

Gloogloos (2010-09-26)

@darkozzy
i already did, it cant load some of the textures, thats what the pop up said, so im really confused as to why it cant, makes no sense

frequentflyer281 (2010-09-26)

Thx for the upload and thx to the seeders. Downloaded a slightly different skidrow release on another site, (it was a little smaller so maybe a fake?) and everyone was leeching it. I'll seed for a while once done. Thx again.

BookieM (2010-09-26)

seed ppl please seed :-))))

tassadarnzl (2010-09-26)

hi guys, ty aitb alsome work great!!! no prob here,however cant seem to lan tryed the hex part, but didnt seem to work any idears guy? is any one playing it on lan?

Olekkerra (2010-09-26)

sc2ftww (2010-09-26)

SKIDROW'S CRACK DOESNT WORK FOR WIN XP SP3!!!!!
i have my system completely updated (dx,ccc,drivers) and a powerfull pc and it just says win error app must close now

Xydrych (2010-09-26)

Fuck this torrent

darkozzy123 (2010-09-26)

@Gloogloos i had to call the service line last time and they sent me a file for the direct x some kinda of .dll file i think i don't remember i guess you could try that hope it works out for you

Zinak (2010-09-26)

Installation works fine with Installer.exe, but when I copy the contents of SKIDROW into the Civilization map and then try to start the crack it just says: lua51_win32.dll missing. How can I work this problem out?

mcnabbmc (2010-09-26)

I haven't seen such crappy seeding in my life. Out of the 2,300 seeders I connected to 20 and got 25 kb/s
Note: I normally get 1.2 MB/s from a torrent

Darkly47 (2010-09-26)

wow, this torrents pretty slow even for 3gigs guys.

semicolonxp (2010-09-26)

It tells me im missing a shitload of .dll files for example lua51.win32.dll

DamienHell (2010-09-26)

Wow I'm connected to 15 seeds and I'm not even breaking 5kb/s

Chosen85 (2010-09-26)

I'm gonna seed for 1 day

EbilPhish (2010-09-26)

@Zinak: I got that dll error too. For some reason the game hadn't installed correctly, there where no files in the installation directory (just subdirectories) until I dumped the files in from the crack (which are supposed to replace already existing files).
I managed to fix it by just deleting the game directory and reinstalling. It might be important to choose the "repair" option when it does the VCredist stuff after DirectX, rather than cancel. Then the cracked files should actually replace already existing files and the lua51_win32.dll and steamapi.dll files should be in there already,

Darkly47 (2010-09-26)

if you guys are missing Dll files try to put them into your file directory using the crack. btw guys i suggest updating direct x, oh and when you star tup the game, the movie intros i think busted im not sure.
i tried another torrent from some uploader named arctic0ne i believe but it screwed up (bad crack)

greek7 (2010-09-26)

Very fast torrent,and top quality as always from Skidrow guys(we all LOVE you guys) BUT it seems that the game has technical issues.It crashes before the intro in Windows 7(my laptop: 2gb RAM,on board graphics card).The same happens with the ORIGINAL demo of Civilization V

Tiersis (2010-09-26)

Hey all, Hoping I can get some help. I downloaded it, followed instructions and installed. Works great on my PC, windows Vista Home premium 64 bit OS, tried to get it to work on my girlfriends, windows 7 home premium, 64 bit, and it says I am in the wrong compatibility mode. I've tried it in all modes, 32 bit and 64 bit via the x86 folder, still will not launch the installer. Any ideas?

wilson1375 (2010-09-26)

No problems here. Ran Installer.exe, copied crack content, voila! No crash issues so far and saves working fine. And this game is FUCKING BEAUTIFUL! Thnx again guys!

wilson1375 (2010-09-26)

@Tiersis. I would ignore the compatibility warning. Double check to make sure her pc is updated(os, gfx drivers, directx, redistributions, .NET framework couldn't hurt either) and running installer as admin

Ralazor (2010-09-26)

I'm seeding now!
Good luck downloading people.

mr_gigi (2010-09-26)

Dl speed is 5-6 kbps, normaly its 187 kbps. what the hell is wrong...
48h of dl, and its only 82%...
Can any one tell me what wrong im doing?

Black_dk (2010-09-26)

Thank you - works like a charm. :-)

Ch4rr0n (2010-09-26)

the game works just fine, downloaded pretty fast, just use the installer exe, update ur dx, and repair ur redistribution ( installer provide those too ). make sure u copy all crack content in the folder where u installed the game. i didn't have the chance to play it very much yet, but i had no crash. i am using the dx11 launcher to get in game since i own a 5770 on a 64 bit windows 7; if u are having more problems, update ur video drivers too, it helps a lot. anyone having problems with this game with a on-board video card, i am afraid u need a dedicated one.

ko0j (2010-09-26)

you are kiddding me 2384 seeds and 11017 leeches this will go on forrever :(

bahamor (2010-09-26)

Works just fine, you have a bunch of files to copy over directory but if you're not new to this it should be ok.
Thanks uploader!

solidsnake333 (2010-09-26)

Doesn't work for me. I'm using Win XP SP3 and when I try to launch it through the shortcut an error pops up saying the application needs to close. I noticed that others with XP are also having same problems. Does anyone know how to fix this?

ishelic (2010-09-26)

@sc2ftww
Yes, it works perfectly on XP SP3, as I am playing it yesterday for the whole day. Just copy all the content from skidrow dir and run CivilizationV.exe
@Zethar
(for Vista/7) Go to control panel -> Programs and resources
(for XP) Goto to control panel -> Add or Remove Programs
Find the Microsoft Visual C++ and repair it
BTW, I'll seed for at least a week guys

ishelic (2010-09-26)

@solidsnake333
Have u tried running CivilizationV.exe from the installed dir? I have no problem running it with xp sp3

solidsnake333 (2010-09-26)

@ishelic
Yes that's where I run it from and it produces an error :/

Vulcan2010 (2010-09-26)

I've followed instructions and I click civilizationV.exe and it says "The program can't start because zlib1.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
Please help.

Vulcan2010 (2010-09-26)

"program can't start because zlib1.dll was not found"
??????
please help.

Vulcan2010 (2010-09-26)

"program can't start because zlib1.dll was not found"
??????
please help.

Vulcan2010 (2010-09-26)

has this message been sent because when i hit submit it does nothing.

solidsnake333 (2010-09-26)

@Vulcan2010
Make sure you run the game from the installation directory, not the crack folder, otherwise you'll get that error. Also, when copy/pasting when it asks you to overwrite press "yes to all". You should have no problem.

Vulcan2010 (2010-09-26)

So the installation directory would be the downloads section? then I click on civilization V skidrow, then SKIDROW file, then exe file. thats what I did, but i didnt get the message when it said yes to all??? ill try again

solidsnake333 (2010-09-26)

@Vulcan2010
You have to install the game first by running the autorun.exe file. Chose a directory different than that of your downloads section e.g. C:\Program Files\Civ 5 and after installing copy the contents of the SKIDROW folder to the directory you created in the previous step. Now, you run the CivilizationV.exe from that same directory, not the SKIDROW one...

Vulcan2010 (2010-09-26)

Now I have a problem when loading the game it says "program has stopped working" then it turns off. It is at the gamespy logo, then it quits. come on, im quite new to this. someone help

Vulcan2010 (2010-09-26)

ok solid I'll try again

Gloogloos (2010-09-26)

mine just has a black screen then a couple of warning windos pop up saying it cant load some textures (i forget which ones), then if i just press ok to all of them sometimes ill just hear the music, still a black screen

mcnabbmc (2010-09-26)

All of a sudden the seeding is better! 100 kb/s! Worse than my normal 700 kb/s-1.2 MB/s but it installed overnight. Works perfectly!

Acidyen (2010-09-26)

Great torrent as usual. Thanks a lot. I thought about buying it and this has helped me confirm that I will once I get my check :)
Also, people should buy it if they like it. Please don't feel like it's your chance to "save money" but instead your chance to enjoy it before you buy it.

odytzi (2010-09-26)

Finally this game cannot be played by the users of win XP SP3 until a patch will be released!!

mcordell (2010-09-26)

Guys make sure you run the right .exe file!
XP users run the CivilizationV.exe file
Vista and Windows 7 users run the Civilization_dx11.exe file if you have a DIRECTX 11 VIDEO CARD!!!! Just google how to find out what directx video card you have!

i have a qestion: happen also to u guys that in multiplayer,internet, more than 4 players the game load but u cannot fund the first city or even move a unit???

S3nd41 (2010-09-27)

Okay... single player is fun but how are we gonna get these cracked versions working online? Don't tell me I'm gonna have to use fuckin' Hamachi.

SuperGuran (2010-09-27)

Hey guyz could some1 plz give basic instructions for installing dis? Do I need to run the setup for example? and in that case how to get serial? and do i need to get phoenix? in that case how and why?

RegretIt (2010-09-27)

The game minimizes after the opening video, i can't skip it either. I installed it correctly coppied over the crack and repaired the c++ , but it still minimizes. I am using win 7 ultimate, all my cards are updated and im using dx11

mimic78 (2010-09-27)

If you have XP don't bother downloading this. It doesn't work. Tried everything.

TheFacts (2010-09-27)

@S3nd41: yes, full multiplayer support working - including save and load - google for smartsteam and get it running. just played some hours with friends - all had the skidrow release installed. make sure to move/delete steamclient.dll from civ5 dir when you use smartsteam.
@superguran: just read the comments. these questions where answered over 10 times. so just dont POST a stupid question, read before posting! hinthint: if you switch on your brain, you can also get it running without reading here.
@mimic: other comments state, they got it running on xp sp3. i dont see any point, why it shouldnt run on a fully patched winXP if you choose DX9 instead of DX11

BrimCat (2010-09-27)

1. You shouldn't need Phoenix, at all for the SkidRow version.
2. Don't click setup, but click installer.exe and go from there
3. You might need to click repair for c++ redistibutable.
4. select all inside the SKIDROW folder on the disc image, then copy and paste it into the folder Civ5 installed in.
5. Click launcher in that folder.
6. *??????????
7. Enjoy the game!
*I have to "end process" on mine as all I'm getting is the intro video than a black screen, menu music and the game cursor. No crash... just nothing seems to be there to proceed with.

TheFacts (2010-09-27)

sorry for double post...

mimic78 (2010-09-27)

@Thefacts
I don't care what other comments state. I have xp and it doesn't work. It loads the intro movie, shows the nice pretty mountains and river then crashes back to desktop every time.
Doesn't work, need to wait for working crack.

BrimCat (2010-09-27)

@mimic
How do you suppose the others using XP have done it? Magic?
Clearly it isn't XP that is the problem, and there is some other variable involved.
For example, I haven't gotten this running on Win7 64-bit. If I've seen that others have run this on the same OS I have, I would appear thoroughly mentally deficient were I to say "It just doesn't work on Win7 64-bit! I'll just wait for a version of this that werkz."

SuperGuran (2010-09-27)

@Thefacts: I am sorry if I cause you trouble by posting stupid comments and I apritiate your help. I have read the comments (all of them) and try'd to aply them to my own situation. I also read the information incuded in the download. But I still felt that I needed to post a stupid comment.
@Brimcat: Thank you for your helpfulness even thou I've read and followed your steps I did not manage to get the game going. When I try to launch the game the it starts but as soon as it's started it just shuts down, way before any intros or anything. I do not recieve any error message either. Any ideas?

Gloogloos (2010-09-27)

would everyone stop fucking arguing and just try to fix the problem, if he cant get it working lets help him and get it to work, cuz alot of people cant get it working

ezchamp (2010-09-27)

Just download the crack and copy contents to this torrent and it works perfect! thanks!

Gloogloos (2010-09-27)

it plays the intro but then the screen goes black and nothing happens

clark3554 (2010-09-27)

i dont understand the steamclient.dll nor smartsteam....could i possibly get some quick direction on how to do that

mimic78 (2010-09-27)

Fixed it.
Open GraphicsSettingsDX9.ini in the documents and settings directory. Go down to windowed resolution x and y and change x to 1024 and y to 768 and it wont crash after the intro.

dmjcn (2010-09-27)

@mimic
Where do you find this folder? i cant seem to find it.
And yes, my game stops after opening intro, but instead of a black screen i get a grey one.

mimic78 (2010-09-27)

It's in C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5

dmjcn (2010-09-27)

@ mimic
i JUST found it, and came back here to see if it was the right palce, and IT IS.
Trying it now...
MIMIC YOU GENIUS!!!
IT WORKS!!!!
I LOVE YOU!

sartbimp (2010-09-27)

JJ911 is completely right. This game is a disaster. Don't buy it.

dmjcn (2010-09-27)

Ive just played this game for about 6 hours, and it hasnt crashed or even lagged, at all!
Its amazing, if you enjoy a Civ game, you will enjoy this.
I think it even beats Civ 3, personaly.
If you are running XP, and it crashes after the opening video, try what Mimic has stated a few comments above mine. It works great now, thanks to him.

TheFacts (2010-09-27)

@superguan: your first question clearly states you didn't read anything at all
@various people: if you think, this game sucks, just delete it - a lot of people acutally like it and hold it for the best civ released (me included) - the gameflow and action is much better than civ4 - not to mention the grafics
@clark: you dont need smartsteam or edit steamclient.dll... this is only needed if you wanna play online/with friends
@zbiggie: wierd. for those people who dont have the "dont start" issue and have a modern hardware, i didnt hear anything about it runs slow. do other modern games run fast on your system?
about multiplayer: google smartsteam, make a blank steam account, start smartsteam, log in with the blank account, start civ5 not from within steam, play internet games, be able to load, be able to rejoin games, smileâ€¦ works for me and friends 100%

TheFacts (2010-09-27)

about multiplayer: i forgot to mention you gotta move/delete/rename steamclient.dll for smartsteam to work

kid_a178 (2010-09-27)

when i use any of the exe's, it blinks black then goes nowhere i've tried everything

Gloogloos (2010-09-27)

ight what i found was that u change the resolution from the graphicsSettingsDX9 to 1080x768 (as said earlier) and put it in windowed, then start the game and i chnaged it to my native and fullscreen, havent played yet but i do know that it starts, many thanks everyone

boonaldo (2010-09-27)

same happens to me it blinks black then does nothing else when i click on the exe's . Help please!!

CornerSquid (2010-09-27)

Yep, torrent is clean, and works 100%
(Even on my shit machine with a GMA 4500M!)
But it crashes in DX10/DX11 coz my PC sucks balls.
Thnx skiddies (lol), 100% torrent :P

CornerSquid (2010-09-27)

Sorry for double post, but 2 things:
Credit to AiTB aswell
And I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 if that helps anyone.

supahowns (2010-09-27)

It crashes right when I start it up, sometimes it plays a little into the intro and sometimes it just crashes on the "2k" logo at the very beginning. It never goes past the intro without crashing with the error message "Sid Meier's Civilization V has stopped working."
Windows 7 with Nvidia GTS 250 and Core 2 Duo btw.

pcpompey (2010-09-27)

Win 7 64 bit
works great without any problem on DirectX 9 and 11 ( playing on 11 atm )
install just like the other games
after copy everything in Crack folder to replace
and that's it enjoy this brilliant game

Trisomy21 (2010-09-27)

This release is fine, it's the actual game that is fucked. They released it too quick and 1000's of people are having these issues. Expect a patch very soon. Just hope it works with this release.

Ralazor (2010-09-27)

Around turn 22/27 my game always crashes.
I already put it into Windowed Mode, put settings on medium.
It crashes to desktop, the intro loads fine, it's just it constantly crashes to desktop.

thekrantzer (2010-09-28)

hey, i followed all the steps and tried using the skidrow crack. but it still always crashes saying Civ V has stopped working. anyone have an answer?

leprechaun91 (2010-09-28)

My game runs very slowly; before every turn I have to wait for about 20 seconds or something before I can do anything. It doesn't matter whether I use the highest graphic settings or the lowest. And when I "talk" with other leaders I can do stuff for about 2 seconds, then the screen freezes or lags or whatever for about 8-12 seconds and then everything runs smoothly.
Even the intro fucks with me, it takes it about 8-15 seconds to cancel after I've pressed the escape key.
Does anyone else have that problem? Is there a fix? Is it my comp or the game? I've tried both Skidrow's and Articone's copies, same problem with both.
Geforce 295 GTX, quad core processor, windows 7 64 bit etc.. It shouldn't be the comp. Everything that I know how to update is updated :/.
Thanks in advance for any help!!

chartreux (2010-09-28)

INSTALATION
1. Mount / Burn the ISO image.
2. Download the installer and open up the program (Program is called Phoenix 1.3)
3. DO NOT OPEN OR START THE GAME / MOUNTED PICTURE and select "Engine Based". Do not select the Steam.
4. Click Tools> Update ContentDescriptionRecord, and select "Internet"
5. Then click Instruments> SID Unpacker
6. Select "SIM-Scan File", navigate to the mounted image and select "Civilization V_disk1.sim"
7. Select Civilization games available on V (available under games)
8. Make sure all files are selected NCF (with the language, just one language must be selected)
9. Click "unpack" and choose your installation directory.
use the crack

leprechaun91 (2010-09-28)

Oh and thanks for the upload!

hotdog88 (2010-09-28)

After downloading the torrent I mount it using Daemon tools lite and I get the skid row set up box with the music. I go to install and I have to update direct x or something and do something with c+++ then it says "Would you like to create a desktop icon?" I click yes. When I close everything there is no desktop icon and when I go to the folder there doesn't seem to be anything to launch the game with. What am I doing wrong??

spkg (2010-09-28)

why so slow?

TheFacts (2010-09-28)

@chartreux: bullsh**
just run installer.exe from the iso - you dont need phoenix or unpack the sid files - its all in the installer. sure it isnt mentioned in the .nfo, but the autoexec.inf starts the right program: installer.exe
if you switch of autorun, you sure should know how to find out the default program.
run installer.exe and dont believe those phoenix guys - they are unable to figure out the right way. also, installer.exe updates your system, phoenix doesnt!

thekrantzer (2010-09-28)

scratch that i got it to work. thanks for the upload :) its awsome. just a heads up for everyone try using this before putting the crack in lol. it worked perfect when i did everything without the "skidrow only crack"

JustanotherGuySmokin (2010-09-28)

Please seed

envylv (2010-09-28)

Works absolutely fine for me; using Windows 7 x64 ultimate.
For those who can't get it to work, its very simple....FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS!

odytzi (2010-09-28)

1.0.0.20 patched for Civ V Released
* Modding - Installer and permissions fixes. Should address any remaining mod download and install issues.
* Full screen crash fix. Game will now restart in Windowed mode if it cannot find a suitable full-screen resolution on first start.
* Hall of Fame now records data correctly when using a Windows username with special characters.
* Fix for Puppet State production exploit.
* Misc crash fixes.
* Special character fix for Windows usernames: Users with non-english characters in their windows username would experience a game crash. This has been fixed, and a forthcoming fix will address an issue related to this where game victories are not recorded in the Hall of Fame.
* Default resolution fix for DX9: Some users who have non-standard or below the minimum specification resolutions crashed before starting. Now, the system will change to Windowed mode and start so it does not crash.
* AI city weighting: AI will not quite as freely offer up their cities when asking for peace.
* Gold per turn glitch: When agreeing to a deal for anything above 5 gold per turn in exchange for something else (like a luxury), the deal would always only pay 5 gold per turn, regardless of the amount proposed. This has been corrected.
***************************************
Hope for a fix...from skidrow also for this torrent!!!

odytzi (2010-09-28)

I meant Civilization V patch 1.0.0.20 has allready released...

holbik (2010-09-28)

and now if i have working game, will there be some issues patching the game?

holbik (2010-09-28)

jkf1: why burning and then mounting? just mount it, and there is never reason to download twice...

odytzi (2010-09-28)

@ holbik
The patch corresponds to people who experience problems with the game...
If the civilization works perfectly for you,then I don't see any reason for you to patch it...

holbik (2010-09-28)

odytzi: but there are also gameplay fixes so that is a reason:p

I installed, worked like a dream. But then I've got some issues with the computer (I suspect it's unrelated to the game), anyway, I had to use system restore to fix my problems.
Now, naturally, civ 5 is not installed, so i tried to install it again using the installer. Problem is that after a few second into the installation a pop-up saying: error 001000 lacking files or authorization. tried running as admin, but it won't install.
Any input would be appreciated

Works Fine now. Just Click the installer icon, and make a folder where you want to put all the file and then instal it. wait till if finish extracting files, just follow and dont forget to repair the C++. and the Copy all the file on the skidrow folder the paste and replace where you extrcted the files.

@father: its NOT A laptop - its a netbook. netbooks are build for surfing and perhaps a bit of office - but not for any games. you dont even have an dedicated grafics controller. how you expect any last-gen game to run on such nothingness?
if you buy a real laptop, you could play on it.

slexos (2010-09-29)

App terminates after, sometimes during intro playback. To say installer doesn't creates program group or desktop shortcuts at all, but says install was successful. What is wrong? Skidrow directory been copied, drivers and hardware are OK, i think. Win XP/SP3 2G RAM NV 8600GT/512.

odytzi (2010-09-29)

The same problem with all the torrents refered to civ 5 here in TPB.
Firstly the demo version crashed for me...
I updated all my drivers including:
intel chipset,motherboard,graphics etc.
and at least I made it with the demo and worked for me!!
this version still crashes for me...
It also doesn't create any folder in my docs or any exe file inside the installation folder...
Any suggestions???
I wait for an update from skidrow...

clark3554 (2010-09-30)

so is there anyone that could give a quick explanation on how to work the multiplayer. i know it has something to do with steamclient.dll or something like that and smartsteam which i have no clue what that is. i googled it and theyre site really doesnt explain how to install it or get it.

There is no SP3 for this OS.
I got through the intro then just crashes.
Have all drivers updated. Using a Radeon hd 4850.
So I KNOW it'll handle the graphics.
What am I doing wrong?
I used the installer and repaired C+++.

Aletz04 (2010-09-30)

badradin (2010-10-01)

First off many thanks to the uploader! Ive been anxiously waiting for this thing to hit for a year now!
Oke, not a complete noob here, but please just say so if im wrong. Thing is Ive got this problem that I havent yet heard about in any comment..
Downloaded the thing --> installed it --> C++ repair --> copy skidrow files..
But when i launch, i get a split second black window and its gone. Thats it, no movie, no nothing. If I open task manager i see 'civ5.exe' running, and after a split second black window its just gone!
I try'd the skidrow update, latest on from today, still wont work. Re-installing also doesnt fix anything. Is there anyone out here who can help me out?
Im on XP, and I guess I meet the requirements! Been looking everywhere..
Keep up the good work, you are very much appreciated!

@kabsat - There are some of us with XP that are having the exact same problem. Saying "Just follow the instructions and it will work just fine on Windows XP sp3." isn't helping. I did follow the instructions. Just like I do with every other torrent I DL. I'm not new at this. Something is amiss with some of us.

and by the way i'm using xp sp2 and it works flawless.after installing copy everything in skidrow folder and paste it in ur directory and then you update and paste the additional folder that comes with the update.....if you follow it correctly the game would not have any problems running not even a single crash.

pirateparty (2010-10-01)

please anyone have a solution for the problem I described above? =s

Vennon_Perrow (2010-10-01)

Thanks Mate !! (: Got It Work.. You're The Best :3

ThanoShadow5 (2010-10-02)

OMG IT WORKS AND IT'S ONLY 3GB! I CAN WRITE IT ON A CD!!! Yeah! Awesome game, download this torrent immediately! I am going to play, bb! B)

TedNinja (2010-10-02)

So... new problem here. I've got the thing installed and running, but all the text in it shows up as mostly-garble, instead of letters, numbers, or whatnot. Anything I need to do to get the text rendered properly?

yuriamado (2010-10-02)

There's a problem me and some people experience: A blinking screen when you try to run the game, that leaves no chance for it to start. If you have the original game, you can fix it by going to the Steam browser and reducing the video resolution at the initialization settings. The problem happens with any monitor that can't show more than 1024x768, and seems to have no solution yet without Steam to make this configuration. Any ideas?

CuBitti (2010-10-02)

Game doesn´t even start on my laptop. Is it because my graphics card? [Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD)]

Rikeus (2010-10-02)

Everything works well and I can run the game. One major problem though - it lags HORRIBLY for me, even on the bare minimum video settings. I checked task manager to see if I could find the problem, and it said that Civ V was using a whopping 700,000 KB of memory. Anyone else having this problem, or know how I can resolve it?

Wisper83 (2010-10-02)

1'st of all ty for sharing the game
The game needs a NASA PC to play it proper but i have fixed all loading a saved game when playing errors by deleting the game from my PC (not even an uninstall package included :( )
the game is challenging but u play 1 h and w8 5 unfortunately.
cheers!

CuBitti (2010-10-03)

Tyl0rC:
canyourunit.com said it should run with minimal requirements. I re-installed the game and it still won´t work... Could it be Steam-problems?

Qualanqui (2010-10-03)

AWESOME!!! Had absolutely no problems thank you soooo much Skidrow i was up to 4 in the mornin playin this yesterday.
Sorry no seed live in NZ extremely limited bandwith

raddiche (2010-10-03)

Dont know if anyone is still helping with this torrent.
Im running Win 7 32bit on a IBM T42p (1.8 ghz 2gb RAM) w/ ATI Mob. Firegl T2 Vid Card. Ive read just about every comment and tried all the ones that seemed logical also i read the instructions (obviously). all i get when i click the DX9 (because i dont have a DX10 or 11 Vid card) is a windowed screen for about half a second then program crashes with no error.
I did change the .ini file (to stop intro the window res was already set to 1024x768) and installed reinstalled and repaired.
Still same effect.
Now my question is does steam have to be installed? because i did buy the game for my desktop, which im running the same OS but with steam installed already.
Any suggestions?
Im only asking because i like to understand how to help my fellow clan members fully evaluate the game before buying.

pwxyj (2010-10-03)

raddiche,
I've got the exact same problem. This is unbelievable, No error log, nothing, It just doesn't work even though I meet the system reqs and tried everything. 2k games really has to get their act together and release a patch that works. I've tried the patch and still nothing.
What irritates me the most is the fact that nobody seems to know the problem because the problem doesn't show!
All you understimulated hackers and computer wizards out there, here is a real challange for you.

pwxyj (2010-10-03)

tech2020 (2010-10-04)

try this. Goto My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5, open UserSettings.ini in notepad change 0 in

do that i worked for me

I can't uninstall the game.. it doesnt show up in the control panel thingy, and not on the start menu, and there's no uninstall file in the folder.. how do i uninstall this game? can I just bin it?

pwxyj (2010-10-04)

Tech2020,
I've already tried that 4 times now. I've also tried Changing the resolution, Running it in window, updating it, Using another crack, Updating my graphics drivers and everything I can imagine would help- Nothing.
The only thing that happens is "Sid Meier's Civilization V has stopped working".
I have tried all of the possible solutions posted on the web.

SmokeyB1 (2010-10-05)

Any word on using a legit steam account with this game? I know its do-able but is being banned likely? With a new steam account you must purchase a game to be able to add friends, otherwise using a secondary account is pointless. Mbb any word on how your account its doing?

trollerballer (2010-10-06)

Whenever I try to run the game, a black screen opens for about one second then closes. How can I fix this? I haven't seen anyone else i the comments with the same problem.

ZAZAAZ (2010-10-06)

Great nearly done ... only if it not struck at 99.8 %
does any one got the same problem ?

Lithiumn (2010-10-06)

Works great. i've got a macbookpro with geforce 9600m gt, running bootcamp and it seems to run great on xp, only complaint is that shaders/and terrain tesselation are greyed out not allowing full graphics/more efficient terrain loading. It could just be my card doesn't have what it takes. :( Maybe i'll invest in a DX11 card for my pc at a later date. Oh yeah, and i guess that HOT SEAT doesn't come in the box, it's going to be a later update. FAIL. But the torrent was great, thanks SKIDROW.

Lithiumn (2010-10-06)

Works great. Malware my ass, No crashes, running bootcamped XP on Macbookpro (2009) Geforce 9600m Gt. One complaint about greyed out shaders/terrain tesselation, but they may be the limit with my card. Don't have DX11. Works great, thanks skidrow.

NZ_Trigger_happy (2010-10-06)

Is there any way to play this game in a local network, i heard you need steam to do it. =

NZ_Trigger_happy (2010-10-06)

Hey is there any way to run a local area network game? I tried with a mate of mine but it frose after I joined the game... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

bigenough1980 (2010-10-06)

worked ok for me. Had a problem with it crashing after the intro initially. Problem was the game auto-detects what screen resolution to use from your desktop setting. The game doesnt support all settings, so if you have an uncommon one it'll cause it to crash. Fix was just to go in the graphics file in my documents and change the resolution in there.

SebasR22 (2010-10-07)

bigenough1980, please explain how you did it to work for you? I have problem with the resolution, and can´t get it to work, even if I change the resolution in th graphics file.

pwxyj (2010-10-07)

Doesn't matter what I do, The game still crashes and gives med the same message "Sid Meier's civilization V has stopped working"
THIS IS BULLSHIT!

{me} (2010-10-07)

Works.
Normal install as far as install and copying the crack. Did nothing special. Works great.

I_like_SKIDROW (2010-10-07)

Nice hope it works, thanks seeders this is downloading at a comfy speed :D.

domfontana (2010-10-07)

First things, first.
Thank you Skidrow. You always have the best torrents. Your work is appreciated.
I got lucky and downloaded the torrent last night in about 70 minutes. I think that's a record. ;)
The game works perfectly for me, with no problems whatsoever. I'm using Win 7 Ultimate - 32 bit.
However, when I first installed it, it wouldn't install because of problems with Steam. Then I came here to read the comments and the first one to solve the problem was Jack Spencer, so thank you, Jack.
So for those who read this in the future:
INSTALL THE GAME USING INSTALLER.EXE AND NOT SETUP.EXE.
I noticed tons of people were having problems and some people criticized them and called them crybabies. To be fair to everyone, the readme file that accompanies the torrent says this:
1. Unpack release
2. Mount image or burn it
3. Install
4. Copy the content from the SKIDROW folder on the DVD to your installation directory and overwrite
5. Play the game
Note that it simply says Install. That's what's causing the problem. It should have said, Install using Installer.exe and not setup.exe and it would have saved a lot of headaches for people.
Anyway, the bottom line is it's working perfectly now and thanks again to Skidrow.

Tj33rd (2010-10-07)

Works perfectly, thank you.
+1

mhtsos_gr (2010-10-07)

I've tried a hundred different ways to run the game successfully under XP...
I gave up and used win7 32-bit and all went smoothly (after updating PhysX and VGA drivers)... until i reached turn 20something when again the game froze.
Now I'm playing error-free running the game in Window mode and not full screen.

pwxyj (2010-10-07)

DomFontana,
The people who are angry (including me) are angry and frustrated because we have tried EVERYTHING. I've searched nearly all of the forums I can find and there are still people experiencing my problems, not with the torrent but with the game. I feel sorry for the people who bought this game via steam (burn in hell, fucktards) or in a retail shop. The game simply won't work. Using install.exe instead of setup (with the STEAM ICON) should be something 2% of the users get wrong.
If ANYBODY, ANYWHERE has an idea what the problem could be please comment.
I've tried:
Updating it
Using another crack
Updating my direct x, graphics driver, audio driver and all of the other drivers that COULD cause the problem
I've skipped the intro
I've changed the resolution in graphics.ini
I've changed the resolution on my desktop
I've set it on windowed mode
I've runned it in compability mode
I've runned it as administrator
I've deleted the cache DB* files
My computer meets the reqs
I have done EVERYTHING and STILL the SAME FUCKING MESSAGE! (sid meiers whorefuck-bastard game of civilizatiwhore has stopped behaving like a regular game because of it's whoriness) and NOTHING more, NO ERROR LOG - NOTHING.
Let me clarify again, I have tried EVERYTHING!
so, if anybody has a NEW idea or a fix, I humbly beg of you to post it here couse this fucking problem is driving me crazy.
FUCK VISTA, The inbred freak that came out when Gates raped xp and is now terrorising the world like those hills have eyes creatures, yeah, that's right, Win Vista deserves a role as a monster in hills have eyes 3. He can be a freak that just won't do anything an everytime another monster asks him to help out raping the humans, he has "stopped working and needs to shut down ". Vista would even suck as a freak, it would just go around pissing the other freaks off. The story of Microsoft and there OP is very similiar to the Fritzl story. Gates raped it's own OP (win98) and keeps having inbred babies (vista, 7) and it will keep happen till somebody expose the incestrapewhorefuck that goes on.
Walk in Peace.

Mbb15 (2010-10-07)

lanoth (2010-10-08)

Keep getting an error "Error joining multiplayer match". In lan I cannot see anyone over hamachi, both of our firewalls turned off, and hamachi is out prefered network connection.

guvn3r (2010-10-09)

This installed on my pc & my friends pc just fine.
Now im trying to install this on my work pc and i just get windows errors as "Installer.exe" & "Setup.exe" are now for some reason malicious.
They try and install a phoney Microsoft Essentials Spyware Remover that gets you to install another random fake Spyware program. It also blocks IE, Chrome, Task Manager etc..
I eventually had to do a system restore. WTF does it all of a sudden not work at my work pc?

guvn3r (2010-10-09)

@Trancelover what TheFacts suggested to change via Hex editing was to allow LAN games.
The only cracked game i have ever come across that you can play on-line was Borderlands!

I'm getting this error from installer.exe
The installer failed due to an internal error
Error Code: 00050000
Make sure you have all files and the required permissions to install.
Even when running as admin. Any suggestions?

AfterJerk (2010-10-11)

@dexterneo and anyone else who doesn't know how to find the Skidrow directory.
If you have the ISO file mounted onto your drive (using daemon tools I believe it does an autorun) instead of using the autorun which would probably use the setup.exe you want to open the files. If there is no autorun that pops up then go into my computer, go to the drive, right click then go to open. It should bring up a directory that has all the information that is in the ISO file. On the top you should have two or three folders. Open the skidrow file then copy all of the content in that file and paste it into the installed directory for the game and overwrite all files. This should put the crack into your folder and overwrite the default launcher with the new cracked one. Either launch directly or create a shortcut on your desktop and you're good to go. Hopefully this helps anyone who could possibly be having problems with this.

fuz2zy (2010-10-11)

Help, theres no ISO? they give me the full version of it. Doesnt work, missing file for the direct X

stixbunny (2010-10-11)

Hey, if tou get stuck in the black screen, or after the intro videos, remember it said "copy the contents from SKIDROW folder", those are NOT just the crack, there is also assets and other stuff! Copy then and replace ;)

JohnathonMacHaim (2010-10-23)

To anyone who has error code 005000 or whatever it is when installing you must find and download zlib1 and add it to the iso file after OPENING the iso with power iso or whatever then save the iso (probaly overwriting the old one)then MOUNT the iso and install using the skid row installer.Hope this helps.

tortall (2010-10-23)

Hey everyone! Found this GREAT video that helped a ton. I did download the SkidRow crack, but I didn't end up using it at all after I found this video. He goes step by step helping with the installation.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kezKKmD_xTA

Just make sure you do NOT try and click through the opening video(once you have it installed). It will crash -every- time. I know it's a pain, but.... It's FREE!

JohnathonMacHaim (2010-10-23)

im pretty sure it has something to do with a new update from windows

LaserBeer (2010-10-24)

I downloaded this followed it step by step with the crack and all but I can't get it to play. The Civ 5 and Civ Dx11 don't do anything and the launcher app takes me to a DX9 or DX 10-11 scree but neither of those starts the game either, anybody know why?

guggen_90 (2010-11-01)

Hi, I do also have an problem with the game!
N o problems starting it or so, but all the text in the game is unreadable! Some parts of the letters looks like it has been moved so you cant read anything. Anyone who knows what the problem is? I have the latest update.

guggen_90 (2010-11-01)

I also got an problem, not with starting the game or installing it or anything... But when the game has started, all the text are unreadable. Looks like some parts from all the letters has moved a bit so you have to guess every single letter. Anyone who knows what the problem is?

dazaelrasheem (2010-11-03)

Made an account just to say thanks to the uploader its getting rare these days to find official cracks...SKIDROW u guys rule and i appreciate you guys taking ur time and doing this....
to anyone who is having problems u must be newbies this is only my second time ever following this format to get free material just follow all the steps its a lot easier then some are making it out to be...
1.Please make sure all ur shit is up to date.
2.Make sure to use installer.exe not SETUP
3.after install COPY THE SKIDROW FILE FROM THE DVD NOT THE ONE THAT WAS JUST INSTALLED!! if ur having .dll issues its because of that
4.Go to where u install the game onto the computer exp(C:programfiles/Sid Meiers Civ 5) or however u named it, click on the SKIDROW file and click on the civilization file that has the little V logo on it.
5.If your still using windows xp get with the program

Worked like a charm for me.
- Mount & Install with the wacky SKIDROW MIDI TECHNO in the background.
- Go to the disc and copy the content of the SKIDROW folder into the installation directory.
- PLay, Conquer and WIN.

datamars (2010-11-04)

I have the same problem as skarlatos. Except when i run the game there just appears black window and then right goes off. Could it be because windows xp doesn't support dx11

Good torrent. Bad game.
I've played over 400 hours of Civ II, III and IV. This game feels completely different in every way. If you enjoyed Civ IV specifically, DONT try this game. You'll be very very disappointed.

Caleb79 (2010-11-08)

I've tried countless solutions, read everything there is to read, done everything rightly and proper, but still it does not work! I double click Civ5 icon, a black box pops up for a split second, then nothing more. What do I have to do? I beg of you, please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
ANY help is appreciated. Thank you so much.

Penwin (2010-12-03)

ARGH... The installer doesn't tell you that you have to MANUALLY create your own folder within C:\Program Files to contain the files for Civ5. I don't mind doing that, just as long as it reminds you to do it. Instead, it just took a massive shit all over my directory, throwing the files everywhere. I had to go through and delete the ones related to the game, one by one.

click explore
open Skidrow folder
Start>Computer>Program files> Civilization 5 folder.
With both windows open, right click all the the files in skidrow folder and select copy, then right click a blank spot in Civ 5 folder and paste. When window pops up, select replace.

~A SIMPLE QUESTION~
(First of all MANY thanks to Skidrow for the game,allthough I hate the band xD.)
PLEASE,whoever knows the answer post it.I've read ALL the comments for about 3 hours and I still have this problem + I am not a newbie my question is legit I think..
So my question is:
--I have XP SP3 done everything,UPdated
everything and still a window pops when I
double click,in order to play the game,SAYING
that the application had to shut down or
something like this..whatever..
ANY help is much appreciated :) --

Anybody try applying the patch? Or does Steam even recognize the game?

cypherpunk1 (2011-01-01)

The minimum requirements here are actually quite high, for people like me who have been skating by on a five year old rig. Just because you can run, say, fallout 3, sims 3, wow, etc, doesn't mean you can run this.
If you followed the directions, launch the game, and all you get is a black smallish window that pops up then disappears without any error message, that might just be your problem.
Bollarabit posted a link earlier that'll help.

Dean403 (2011-01-10)

this is a BS release. nothing but missing .dll errors. and yes i have read the entire forum. no useful help on this whatsoever. this has happened with ALL skidrow games i have downloaded. dont waste your time

Stamyham (2011-01-10)

@Dean. You need to move the contents of the mounted SKIDROW file in the dvd drive to the INSTALLATION folder. Check C:/ Program files(86x). It's under Sid Meiers civilization V. It works. It's just tricky ;)

Stamyham (2011-01-10)

You iz doin' it wrong, Dean.

zombiewarpigs (2011-01-11)

This torrent works as do all the SkidRow games. If it does not then its simply user error. Can be as simple as trying to use the desktop shortcut instead of creating your own shortcut after the crack to having outdated hardware and/or software.
I do have a question though. Can we use Worldbuilder with this? I have patch 6 from skidrow as well and I can not find any info.
Patch 6 seemed to slow local play down, anyone else?

pinrage (2011-01-11)

I installed it, heard that cool music, did the c++ repair, it asked me to create a deskop shortcut and i said yes but nothing appeared, i cant find any crack anywhere or any exe to play after i successfully install it, and already copyed the skydrow file to the installation folder but no overwrite happened, any help?

pinrage (2011-01-12)

made it work, thanks for the game ^^

i made it work but then it says a problem stopped the game from running :\
I have all the minimal specs and even maximums so i dont see the problem :\

puffy11 (2011-01-12)

everyone having problem with the error code when trying to install, you have to delete the folder in x86 or whatever and install from mounting the image on a virtual drive, it worked for me downloading the c++ again.. we shall see what happens :D

Dean403 (2011-01-12)

Stamyham thank you but this is EXACTLY what i am doing. i have tried multiple times. And its not a hardware problem. I am running a QX6700 processor, 8GB of Crucial ballistix ram, asus maximus formula board and dual video cards. if anybody knows how to get around the missing .dlls or knows of a proper rip that doesnt have these issues please let me know. there is 12 pages of people havingn problems here so i know its not what i am doing.

gromler (2011-01-12)

Perhaps it is just me or the file was fixxed but it ran perfectly for me upon installing after using magicdisc, then copying over contents of skidrow folder into the folder it was installed, however id like to know if there is a way to play online or do you need to have a cd-key for it? When i ran multiplayer option it said it needs to be launched with steam active???? I looked in the folder and didnt see any other applications that would start a steam active program or start up , anyone know about this?

zombiewarpigs (2011-01-13)

I have installed games for years and its always the same.
1. Mount with Daemon Tools
2. Open download and install the proper exe.
In this case the installer exe. and not the setup exe. Then copy of the disc the skid row and paste in the program folder.
3. after install open the skidrow file in the programs x86 and copy everything.
4. click back arrow and paste.
5. right click on the proper civ exe and send to desktop.
6. Play
As far as the updates just copy everything to the program folder install from there and re-copy the contents of the new skidrow file.
If you need to play online change your name in the config file that was created after the patch in your documents.
If this doesn't work then its not the game because there is no other way to do it.
I have installed on 3 different computers in my house and they all play fine on the local network even.
Reasons that people have problems are because of either updates needed, outdated computers, corrupted profiles from infections, lack of following instructions, and many more.

RageMoar (2011-01-17)

Which files do you mount?
I don't see any .iso's.
Only SIM, SIS, and SID, and DaemonTools isn't treating them right.

I really ask you guys to update the SDK, it's outdated so it does not work with new versions, gives a "Unknown argument type in message EnableMod" and some others, so it just crashes. Please update it, we might be pirates, but we also have love in our hearts to waste on maps and mods for cool games.

Storieman (2011-01-23)

Skidrow has always been great work. occasionally ull get a virus warning but that is only due to the file being altered to allow u to play and some antivirus programs like avg dont like altered files. if you get it from Skidrow, Razor1911 or RELOADED u are safe to ignore the warning and tell ur virus program to ignore it and u wont have any probs. thanks guys to all ur great work and remember if u like the game buy it so more great games can be made

Dozey (2011-01-29)

I've done everything that I have been told to (that I know how to) and it doesn't seem to be working.
I don't understand the concept of mounting the image - I've used Daemon Tools to mount the RAR file as the image, installed the game, used update 6.exe and then patched, then dragged & dropped the SKIDROW folder contents to the right place. When I try to play the game, the window pops up, and stays there saying it's not responding.
Any help?

WHY IS ALL THE TEXT JUST A GARBLED MESS?!

Yakoow (2011-02-06)

@Dozej
I followed this way (by @tetris11) and install it on Win7 without problem.
Installation:
1. Mount the iso with daemon tools
2. Use the Skidrow installer to extract the files
3. My computer prompted that I was up to date with Directx 11 -> okay
4. At the end of the installer I got another window asking me to install Direct x -> Yes install/Next
5. I get another window asking me to either repair or uninstall Microsoft C++ Redistributable -> Click Repair/Install, never uninstall.
6. Exit/Close the Skidrow installer (i.e. when it's finished).
7. Go to My Computer -> Right-Click on the BD ROM/mounted Civilization iso-> open -> SKIDROW -> Copy everything with Ctrl+A and then Ctrl+C
8. Go to Program Files(x86) or just Program Files -> Sid Meier's Civilization V -> Paste everything with Ctrl+V.
9. When asked to merge folders, Copy and replace, etc. say Yes to everything, and tick the box that enables you to do it for all the future conflicts (quicker).
10. Double click Launcher (or create shortcut on desktop) --> Play!

Hey guys! I did the steps as it should be BUT when i start the game and after a couple of minutes the ingame screen frozes so i need to close the game. This happens all the time, any help please?

U1G (2011-02-10)

Great torrent, works fine for me on Windows XP SP3. I can confirm that the following instructions by @tetris11 for installing said game for Windows 7 Ultimate does work. Thanks for the upload AiTB!

swellyify (2011-02-11)

anyone know how to mount the files i dont see any iso files just SID & those aren't working

Tipeksk (2011-02-12)

I want to ask... I ve played this torrent on my previous OS-Vista and I have installed a new OS-7... now i want to install this torrent and it shows me that this game can only run on 32-bit OS and thats bullshit... I dont know how to make this game run on OS7 while on Vista I was able to play it on 100%

andeman25 (2011-02-13)

How do i delete this file? It says it is in use but i have removed all other files?

gnosis2 (2011-02-13)

The download is good but he game is boring and lacks interesting ideas about history. Sid Meier if he was involved at all, phoned this one in. I am deleting this trial copy and not buying this game.

T.N.T... (2011-02-13)

I see the file contains Steam information...
Does anyone know how you link the game into an existing account?

thatonetimeguy (2011-02-14)

should it just be an iso file you ge from this download? if ye i may need help.

StayWay (2011-02-15)

The characters aren't showing up in-game? Any way to fix?

tees456 (2011-02-15)

Having problems downloading, followed steps above, any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Sfinx_P (2011-02-16)

Works Great. Thanks!!!!!!!

tiny8469 (2011-02-17)

So I'm not new to torrents or games and such. Install went smoothly, copied crack contents, game booted up. Crashed on the intro video but resumed at the title menu. Only issue I have is I have no visible cursor. I have to just move the mouse around until something gets highlighted. I was searching through the comments but it's so cumbersome searching through that many and not finding anything at all. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. I already disabled the intro video and that did nothing. Other than this issue everything is perfect. Thanks AiTB and SKIDROW! Ya'll are awesome!

neymaro (2011-02-20)

When I hit the launch file/buttin, my computer starts to work for like 10 secs, but then nothing happens!!
whats wrong?

Tipeksk (2011-02-23)

i d like to know why it says me on my win7 64 bit that it cant run on 64 bit and on my previous Vista 64 bit it was running great... how can I fix this problem please..:) thx for reply :)

ChromeOne (2011-02-25)

Hi, I've done everything right:
1. Unpacked release
2. Mounted image
3. Installed
4. Copied the content from the SKIDROW folder on the DVD to my
installation directory and overwrited
and when I start the game it tells me that:
Sid Meier's Civilization V has encountered a problem and needs to close
why? thank you

JDFan (2011-02-25)

@chromeone -- that usually is a sign of incompatible hardware (normally an Intel integrated chipset used for video on your system) when launched the game checks to ensure the hardware you have can run the game and if not closes with that error (normally this happens to Intel chipset video that does not support hardware transform and lighting which many modern games require but until just recently Intel refused to add instead using software to emulate it which would fail the test used by games.)

ChromeOne (2011-02-25)

Hi, I've got Windows XP SP3, Intel pentium 4 cpu 2.80ghz, 767 mb ram, radeon 9600 series
is normal that i can't play the game?

nishitmv (2011-02-26)

Thank u sooooo much . Hope it works :)))

sunnyp_343 (2011-02-28)

my game is not working.itss giving me this error.."the procedure entry point steam user stats could not be located in the dyanamic link library steam_api.dll

ChromeOne (2011-03-02)

Hi, I've got Windows XP SP3, Intel pentium 4 cpu 2.80ghz, 767 mb ram, radeon 9600 series does my Intel chipset video support hardware transform and lighting which many modern games require because until just recently Intel refused to add instead using software to emulate it which would fail the test used by games. So can I run it?

ChromeOne (2011-03-04)

Hey, I actually got 767 mb ram: in my computer there are two slots for the ram, I had 256+256mb ram=512 then I updated with one 512 ram in one slot, i took off one of the 256 ram cards and put the 512 in it so 512+256=767 is it correct and nice working?
does fixes will help me about updating bios, and resitting ram slots etc? thank you

lavafox (2011-03-08)

Smooth installation + runs perfectly :)

Seipher09 (2011-03-10)

It says "The program can't start because zlib1.dll is missing from your computer"
I mounted using virtual disc drive, installed it, open the cd folder and copied and pasted the SIDROW folder over to the game file under C/
Any ideas why it wont work?

oICU8it2 (2011-03-12)

Hey, Fucksticks, seed. over 600 seeds and slightly over 80 kbps? wtf... its called sharing not looting dickheads. I will seed this at full speed for a week during the "sleeping hours" gmt -5
Accidental? youtube a video on how to make your torrent program as fast as possible.
Also people: get a peer blocker program if you're on a PC like PeerBlock.. anti p2p companies and spammer companies seed existing downloads with intentionally corrupted files containing viruses which in turn make perfectly clean torrents... filthy and useless... like people who don't seed's mothers.... you will be shocked once you have peer block up and running.

oICU8it2 (2011-03-12)

Furthermore: Skidrow fucking rocks more than the entire pantheon of Norse gods.

omfgcantalope (2011-03-13)

Awesome working torrent, but I seem to be having a BIG issue with my computer when I run it. After I open it and everything all my colors invert, like during the video. Someone help plz? :]

Bhack6969 (2011-03-13)

Followed the instructions and evrything but everytime i go to start it it said something about a .dll file missing. I found the files and copied them into the skidrow folder. Now when i try and start it says SteamAPI_WriteMiniDump could not be located in the dynamic link library steam_api.dll (Steam_api.dll was one of the files missing before). how can i fix this.

kuroFSM (2011-03-14)

Thanks!! This game rocks (but I'm gonna need more RAM... It really asks for a lot!)

oICU8it2 (2011-03-14)

@ Bhack6969
get a peer blocking program or:
EVERY SINGLE TORRENT YOU DOWNLOAD WILL BE CORRUPTED
anti p2p companies get paid big bucks by the publishers to download, corrupt, and seed torrents all day long google peer guardian its free and doesn't hog resources you will be shocked at how many connections you've been downloading from that are just virus spawns.

oICU8it2 (2011-03-14)

People having trouble running the game:
for a board game, this game DEVOURS CPU memory. Unless your comp is brand (and I mean as in less than a year old) then you will not be playing this game success fully any higher than medium settings older still? then make CERTAIN you turn off the intro movie, run in a window and set all visual settings to minimum. or you will crash your rig. Another helpful tip: switch to strategic view before you end your turn everytime.

wheeel420 (2011-03-17)

Awesome download. Great speeds. Works great on my system. recommend it to all who like this genre and have an alright system.

thecow777 (2011-03-27)

i got it to work on my windows 7 computer just fine, works 100% fine.
I followed instructions from the comment by "Yakoow". Its on page 21. But its a straight forward installation anyways. Downloaded it in 1 and half hours.
thanks skidrow

crispyman01 (2011-03-30)

okay. so i managed to get the game installed and everything, followed the readme and the launcher launches the game BUT the first time i ran it, it only played the video then was a grey screen with a cursor that froze my computer. now when i try and run it, i only get botched audio from the intro-no video, and still no start menu. help please?

patrolkid (2011-03-31)

so everything had word fine 4 me and its a great game but one thing i want to play it with cheats 4 fun but you need a file called config.ini and thats not in the things can you do another thing to let it work fine?

B3DECKER (2011-04-03)

It keeps asking me for a product key?

ComradeDeeco (2011-04-11)

Brilliant, got it working!
For those using Windows 7 x64 Ultimate and having the problem where it crashes after the intro;
1) Download this;

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=9b2da534-3e03-4391-8a4d-074b9f2bc1bf&displaylang=en

(its just the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008, I just knew that this one works, just in case.)
2) Go to Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5 and open 'UserSettings', change the 15th line so that it looks like this...
; Skip the intro video
SkipIntroVideo = 1
and save.
3) in the same folder, open up 'GraphicsSettingsDX11'
change 7th from bottom to
; Fullscreen mode
FullScreen = 0
In the installation folder I also ran 'CivilizationV_DX11' in admin.
Make sure that you transferred the files in the info section from the cd tho!
took me ages to work this all out, I'm a complete noob!

taylorgang (2011-04-13)

I download the game and burned it to a disc, but when I try to open it Nero burning tool pops up
I also dont an option to install
Thanks for any help

taylorgang (2011-04-13)

I figured out my last problem, but at the part where it says copy skidrow im lost.
I watched a you tube video and it said copy skidrow to civilization 5 folder in progrtams 86x, and I did it. Once I clicked launcher, a screen poped up asking i want the dx 9 or dx 10/11 version.
Which ever one i clicked a message pops up saying im missing a file.
Thanks for any help

va.kos. (2011-04-14)

killer331 (2011-04-17)

AlexReborn (2011-04-17)

Hi, great upload, it works as well as the original version should work but has anyone figured out how to update to the latest patch? Or at least to any recent patch? There are pretty good game options available in the later patches.

kuken8812 (2011-04-21)

Is it possible to defrag and verify the cache in this version. Normally you can do that if you have steam, but how do you do that with the SKIDROW version?

Alambil1 (2011-04-21)

I keep getting a message saying that I'm missing zlib1.dll, but my demo of Civ 5 works fine, so is that really the problem? How can I fix this?

Alambil1 (2011-04-21)

ok, so I fixed my previous problem by moving stuff from the skidrow folder to the Civ5 folder. But now i keep getting an error saying that something within one of the dlls is missing. I've already reinstalled. What should i do?

haripreetsingh (2011-04-21)

I followed Yakoo comments on page 21. The same usual steps found on the net, but i get this error message: steam_api.dll is missing from your computer --> However i can see this file exist in the Civ 5 gaming folder in program files. I even went online and downloaded this file again, and extracted the steam_api.dll to the gaming folder but i get the same error message. can someone help me please

Alambil1 (2011-04-22)

Hari, I had that same problem, it stopped when I put the .dll into the Skidrow folder. But it still doesn't work bc of other problems.

BADDD (2011-04-29)

It ran the intro and then after that I just get a black screen and nothing happens. This doesn't work.

galaga__ (2011-05-03)

Installed as explainded, cracked but when I click CivilizationV.exe or any one of the exe starter files nothing happens. Sometimes a black window titled Civilization V pops up and then disappears.
Can anyone tell if that because of my PC? CPU Pentium Dual Core 2Ghz, no graphics card and winxp. But I play all the games with it, and works ok. thnks.

kopiledon (2011-05-07)

I've been searching for the answer to the problem of uninstalling this and i haven't been able to find any solutions. So if anybody can help it would be great.

Titouf2609 (2011-05-08)

Hello everyone ! First of all, this game works great I've been playing for a few months now. But there's one thing I don't know... How can you change the name in order to play LAN games. Did anyone manage to get a LAN game work ? It would be great to explain how ! Thanks to the community and to SKIDROW !

mroooku (2011-05-08)

hi, can anybody tell me, why the game crashes when i attack another city?

503Alex (2011-05-09)

Hey I am new to this kind of stuff. Can anyone help me learn and understand this stuff? Or point me to a website that can? If so that would greatly be appreciated

mik3tyson (2011-05-09)

I have a problem. I install the game normaly and start to play, but i cant see the movie at start and in game i have uknown type of font. Its that the installation problem or something else ?

tlcasselman (2011-05-11)

I'm having a problem that a few others have had. I installed it correctly, it doesn't crash, lag, or freeze at all but the text is garbled. That's it.
Could it be a settings issue, has a update/patched been released to fix this or is it possibly just my computer.

tlcasselman (2011-05-11)

I'm having the same text issue as a few others. I've installed it correctly, it doesn't lag, crash or freeze it's just the text is garbled and messed up.
Is there a patch/update, can I just changed the visual settings or could it just be my computer.

tlcasselman (2011-05-11)

FOR EVERYONE HAVING GARBLED TEXT PROBLEMS!:
Here is a link to a blog with a link (:P) that has a solution that works (takes a breath)

http://mafujosh.blogspot.com/2010/09/civ-5-garbled-text.html

She/he explains it so even the noobiest or noobs can do it. AND it works (jumps for joy) Oh it does make them all upper case but whatever.

Ki-aka-Kyle (2011-06-17)

Thanks for the upload AiTB and SKIDROW. I have full details on how to get this working so if you need help Email me at [email protected]

Aypolo (2011-06-19)

I installed properly, copying everything in SKIDROW folder to game folder in program files. However, the game's options (in the main menu) have no options and my mouse clicks don't register. wtf?

Karllas (2011-06-23)

I instralled civ correctly but when I launch CivilizationV_DX11 it says

PLEASE HELP!

ryanheron1234 (2011-06-25)

dude wtf like.
i've downloaded hundreds of torrents from piratebay and have never signed up to commment cos none of them have led me to pure frustration as this has!
wtf kind of torrent is this fucked up little piece of shit anyway!
fuckjing shocking!
the amount of missing files is unbareable fucking adjitating!

ryanheron1234 (2011-06-25)

i signed up only to abuse this torrent not you

Xkul (2011-06-25)

@Zeuzm i think you need to delete it manually.

DanielllSA (2011-06-28)

game is actually shit, been downhill from 3... 4 and 5 have been completely rubbish... easy install tho, thanks for the upload

LoLWuT19 (2011-06-29)

What are you talking about Daniel? Civ 4 is the best in the series.
This game might also be good as well. Civ 4 wasn't too great upon release. After heavy patching and expansions it was incredible and by far the best in the series.
This game just released a new patch which supposedly fixes a lot of problems.

dengo (2011-07-01)

kudos to the crackers and seeders! I BOUGHT this game but
a) there wasn't actually a game on the dvd, just some crap software to connect to Steam and DOWNLOAD this game.
b) I am not allowed to acces this game without Steam spying on how long I am playing and how
I downloaded this just therefore ...
Thanks

TheOneWhoAskes (2011-07-05)

I did everything; mount, install, crack; but when I open the launcher, CivilzationV, or Civ_DX11, nothing happens. At most I get is a black screen for half a second. The process show in Task Manager but it closes itself 3 seconds later.

kylejftheone (2011-07-06)

dudes if you cannot install this then you do not deserve to have it for free go buy it because you are unworthy. Got it to work on the first try just followed the insanely simple instructions given by the up loader. Thanks to the up loaders and everyone involved great fucking game

com8472 (2011-07-08)

Does anyone know what's with the last patch 1.0.1.332. No one will upload it. Why is it so difficult to crack?

iamnotobama (2011-07-08)

Great work. Thank you to all involved. you're worth your weight in TimTams!

iamnotobama (2011-07-08)

Works great, no crashes (thus far).
1. unzip the dl
2. click on 'installer'
3. follow the prompts.
4. replace files in the game directory with those from the crack.
5. play!
even the intro movie works fine

rc71 (2011-07-08)

All I did was uninstall the steam folder after I copied over the crack. Then I launched it directly and I don't get the steam bullsh*t.

donald12999 (2011-07-09)

When ever i trie and start a game i get as far as the guy stops reading the info about your civ then it CTDs with a Civilization V has stopped working box and a block box that covers 3/4 of the screen. help?

zeppy99 (2011-07-11)

im crashing when i open it, any suggestions?

BaileyK (2011-07-12)

Can someone explain to me how to connect this to my Steam account, if it's even possible

zue890 (2011-07-12)

EVERYBODY WHO SAYS KEEP SEEDING IM TIRED OF IT!!!!!!!1 GET THE FUCKK OFF YOU ARE GETTING ON MY NR=ERVES, IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT TYR OTHER TORRENT SITES, AND YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A MUCH HIGHER CHANCE OF GETTING CAUGHT WHEN YOU SEED!!!!!

beeru67 (2011-07-13)

Steam shouldn't be popping up if you did everything correctly

SparklingHorizon (2011-07-13)

No you do NOT need Steam to install/play this. Works perfectly for me. Thank you!!

prerequisite (2011-07-14)

everything installed right, but as soon as i start i get a blank screen and then it crashes after like two seconds. i probably did something wrong, can someone help me out here?

eduthegamer (2011-07-19)

Where is the install file? I can't find it, even with windows :S

jongXie39 (2011-07-24)

pardon my newbishness.. but i dont get how this one works.. ive downloaded of games thru torrent.. after extracting the archive, what i have seems to be the 'installed' files already. and when i click the applications, it shows the opening movie for like 5 seconds then exits back to the desktop.. can any1 help me?

tcuvillier (2011-07-26)

Works fine thank's ! Concerning the intro bug (can't Esc out of video) you just need to alt tab, it will freeze for 30 second or so before skipping it.

tcuvillier (2011-07-26)

@jongXie39: Read the install instruction ?? What you have is the CD, you need to mount the iso using freewares like Daemon Tool then install the game and finally copy everything from CD/Skidrow to the install directory in order to crack it.

AriMelamed (2011-07-29)

Another flawless ISO! Many Many thanks to SKIDROW

D0wnL04D (2011-08-01)

Works Great!
Love the Game! 5 *****

Any Suggestions Would be Great :)
Thanks

michaelthomas1989 (2011-08-04)

I can't run this game.
Keeps telling me I don't have an api.dll file. Tried d/l'ing it, but to no avail. I think its possibly something to do with Steam, but I'm not sure, don't see why it would be.
Any advice please?

michaelthomas1989 (2011-08-04)

Oh, i'm running windows 7 with DirectX11 btw

michaelthomas1989 (2011-08-04)

@AndyMUFC
I think this is because you copied the cracked files into C:/Sid Meirs Civilization 5
You should copy them into C:/Program Files/Sid Meirs Civilization 5
or
C:/Program Files (x86)/Sid Meirs Civilization 5

michaelthomas1989 (2011-08-04)

Also, I just tried installing this game on my work computer (also Windows 7) and the same thing happened.
It says 'steam_api.dll is missing

Skymocker (2011-08-06)

Here's What other commentors have successfully compiled...
Installation:
1. Mount the iso with daemon tools
2. Use the Skidrow installer to extract the files
3. My computer prompted that I was up to date with Directx 11 -> okay
4. At the end of the installer I got another window asking me to install Direct x -> Yes install/Next
5. I get another window asking me to either repair or uninstall Microsoft C++ Redistributable -> Click Repair/Install, never uninstall.
6. Exit/Close the Skidrow installer (i.e. when it's finished).
7. Go to My Computer -> Right-Click on the BD ROM/mounted Civilization iso-> open -> SKIDROW -> Copy everything with Ctrl+A and then Ctrl+C
8. Go to Program Files(x86) or just Program Files -> Sid Meier's Civilization V -> Paste everything with Ctrl+V.
9. When asked to merge folders, Copy and replace, etc. say Yes to everything, and tick the box that enables you to do it for all the future conflicts (quicker).
10. Double click Launcher (or create shortcut on desktop) --> Play!
HOW I GOT LAN FUNCTIONING...
The game won't let two people with the same name (IE Skidrow) into the same game, so...
1. Open C:\Program Files\Sid Meier's Civilization V
2. Locate at the bottom of the list a file called Steamclient.DLL
3. Right-Click on it & select 'open with' (then select the program to use yourself). I used notepad, but wordpad, etc., should work fine.
4. Hit CTRL+F and search for "skidrow". There are two instances of the name within the gibberish you'll be looking at.
5. Replace the word Skidrow with your own screenname.
6. Save.
Don't be alarmed if you get an error message about something being wrong with the file you just edited when launching the game. Simply hit OK and the game will continue to launch.
I haven't tested this on hamachi, but it does work over an actual router.
my OS is Win 7 if it matters.

norcoryder (2011-08-08)

i get to about 55% in the instalation and then, i get an error message saying:
The insaller failed due to an internal error.
Error Code: 00050000
Make sure you have all files and the required permissions to install.
Can anyone help me with that please?

Dzulum (2011-08-11)

URGENT HELP PLEASE!
0. I have Windows 7 64 bit and an adequate PC.
1. I downloaded the torrent.
2. The torrent IS NOT an ISO image. It's a RAR file that contains a bunch of files and folders. There is not an Skidrow folder in it. I extracted the whole thing to C:\Program Files (x86)\sid meier's civilization v, and changed the "Play Civilization V" shortcut accordingly.
4. I have tried clicking on the shortcut, choosing either "Play with Direct X 9 or 10" or "Play with Direct X 11", but nothing works. The following error message appears: The program can't start because d3dx9_42.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
5. I do have Direct X 11 previously installed in my computer.
YOUR HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! THANKS A LOT!!!

Dzulum (2011-08-11)

Just fixed the problem by reinstalling DirectX, but like a bunch of people here the game does start fine for about 2-5 seconds (intro videos) before completely crashing and closing. Help is urgent and greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!!

ForK_ (2011-08-11)

Thank you, My son needed help with this. Thanks!

Winterwisp (2011-08-22)

I'd like to thank everyone who's seeding, thanks for making torrenting it alot faster and I'd like to thank skidrow for making such great torrents. Keep up the good work

devilgirlza (2011-09-01)

Will it work just the same if i just burn the iso file to a dvd and then find the code online?? also how reliable is this torrent? and i have laptop with a 1.60GHz with only 0.99GB RAM. is it enough to handle the game?

EV0Ltage (2011-09-01)

How to fix immediate Crash? I mean as soon as i click it pops up for about .01 seconds and then nothing. Ive tried everything from repairing that c++ thing to getting a fresh crack. I even changed skip intro to 1 and everything. I have re-installed 4 times and im ready to give up. Please help if you can.

EV0Ltage (2011-09-01)

Sorry for double but I guess i forgot to give system.
Windows 7 64 bit I meet all system requirements even ram and video card (i googled how to find it and checked). Help if you can :p

mevidek (2011-09-02)

@Dzulum - a helpful tip for most torrent games: The RAR files contain the iso. Open the first RAR file, extract it to a folder on your desktop, and/or mount the iso from the extracted folder or in the RAR file. It's that simple. The crack will be found in the skidrow folder or a crack folder on the iso file, which is like a disc. To find it, right click on the iso file once mounted, click explore, and then just find the folder, and copy the cracked content to the installation directory. Hope that helped :D

guderian2 (2011-09-02)

Solution to problem with crash after intro is on page 23 in these comments - find comment from ComradeDeeco. Worked very well for me.
All you need is to make some simple changes in user settings.

fadeless (2011-09-09)

does anyone know how to fix the crash while im loading a saved game?

Tango009 (2011-09-10)

I am gonna buy this anyway since I am fan of this series,but I really wanna see if its worth it.So thank you,both skidrow and AiTB!!!

noisear (2011-09-13)

theNYCwarrior (2011-09-14)

How do you uninstall this game

ukuhunta (2011-09-19)

Where do i get the key code at? Im lost and apparently clueless

bartr (2011-09-19)

@guderian2
The comment on page 23 works fine but dont forget to replace ALL the files from the SKIDROW folder on the dvd. You have to replace and add the files seperately and DONT replace the 2 maps in one time.
Goodluck

azisco (2011-09-23)

Works great for me on Win7 64-bit with nothing but the install and crack. Game is a little slow paced for my tastes but still very cool.

lipslide (2011-09-24)

Torrent works great,no problems at all.
I'm playing on Win7 64-bit and everything works just fine!
Thanks!

pokeechu (2011-10-02)

Nevermind. For some reason I wasn't accepting seeds. It's working fine now.

ciros27 (2011-10-05)

okay, ive downloaded it correctly (i believe) and overwrote it with the crack SKIDROW file, but when i try to startup the game an error comes up and says-
"This application has failed to satrt because zlib1.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."
any help would be appreciated :)

ciros27 (2011-10-05)

Re-installing and running as admin did nothing... would really appreciate :)
p.s. do ppl have to install the game if they go over it with the cracked content or am I missing something??

ciros27 (2011-10-05)

okay i got it to work (read earlier comments) now i just gotta figure out the movie crash :)

krakken86 (2011-10-10)

Thank you SKIDROW, while i do still use Reloaded, I always find you more reliable....marry me someday

steelllynx (2011-10-12)

The skidrow installer is broken. After it says installation is complete, there is no start menu for it, no shortcut on desktop, and also the .exe files are missing from the installation directory. Fail.

PiperGK1 (2011-10-13)

I'm not sure what the deal is with some of the comments I see here. I often find a rash of complaints under either Games or Video about all the horrible experiences people are having in getting something running. If it's simply frustration in not getting something to work on your machine, that's fine. But to have the audacity to insult the person(s) who uploaded it, and have even attempted to correct any problems with it, is beyond my comprehension. That's the kind of asshole who would crawl into your kitchen after two weeks in the desert, begging for something to drink... and when you hand him a glass of water, he says, "What, no lemonade?"
I have Win 7 64-bit, like many others here. I mounted and loaded this game, used the supplied crack, and it works fine. If you're having problems, please read others posts before complaining (there's typically plenty of fixes already posted). If you're frustrated, and I understand if you are, please be conscientious in your posts. If you have lame computer, or don't know what the hell you're doing, don't compound the problem by telling the uploader it's THEIR fault. You just end up sounding petty and childish.

xsnakemanx (2011-10-18)

d3dx9_42.dll is missing from my computer? How am i supposed to fix this? I would look in the comments but they don't seem to have a search function. Any help would be very greatly appreciated.

xsnakemanx (2011-10-18)

Im missing d3dx9_42.dll im assuming i have to download this file then somehow? If someone can help me out i would appreciate it. Thanks.

xsnakemanx (2011-10-18)

Opps double post. Anyway i fixed that problem but now when i try to start the game it says

"?getNumPromotionInfos@cvGlobals@@QAEHXZ

could not be located in the dynamic link library CvGameCoreDLLFinal Realease.dll."
That seems like a pretty strange sounding file if you ask me. Anyway, you someone can help me with this i would really appreciate it!!!

Ok i feel like a massive retard but i dont really get what to do, i cant mount the image file for some reason :/

grzedm (2011-10-28)

The game works fine for 20/30 minutes and then crushes. Not only crushes but the whole computer turns off. Any ideas what might be wrong?

alesanfrancisco (2011-10-29)

I'm having the same problem i can get the game started but after a few moves the game interface freezes but still runs, sound, and when you move the mouse you hear the sounds of the game but the screen stays frozen.

Holy_Virus (2011-11-02)

The game worked for like a few days and now the screen stays pitch black after the intro video. I have to even start task manager to force it to close. I don't know what's going on. :(

gyroscopic (2011-11-03)

Fantastic. Downloads incredibly fast, installs easily, and works like a charm. The game as well is actually quite fun and engaging, if you have the patience for it. Thanks AiTB, much appreciated.

Randomness65535 (2011-11-24)

@grzedm
Afaik this game is quite CPU intensive and in your case that's what happens when your processor overheats.

mbard813 (2011-12-12)

It's funny how people go to Walmart, spend $200 and expect to run games like this that are graphic intensive. You're crashing because your computer sucks bro. Umad?

to those of you scanning comments for an opinion on this torrent, please do yourself a favor and ignore that douche, all of skidrows releases have proven to be top quality for me, provided you can follow simple instructions ;)
Thanks for another top torrent Skidrow!

Metexie (2012-01-19)

Be sure to run Installer.exe, not Setup.exe. Setup will require you to enter a Product Code on Steam.

Works fine, but 2 days after downloading I received the dreaded "file sharing email" from my isp. Download with caution.

really good torrent. I just got done installing and have played it a little bit and it hasn't crashed or stopped working yet!!

I unpacked the release and dont have an iso to mount.....could i just use the installer?

atreusDeo (2012-03-17)

i usually dont bother chiming in to arguements on here, but skidrow has been reliable for me for EVERY download ive done through them, i would expect if this doesnt work, its something YOU are doing, not how the game was uploaded. keep up the good work skidrow!!

PrChrono (2012-03-20)

Does this version feature hotseat? if not, is it possible to apply update for it? or do we lack a decent recent crack?

OmgItsAlex (2012-03-20)

Ok, so I downloaded this but I found a much better torrent that seemed more relieable then this one... I'm having a huge issue though. The ISO won't delete. I've seriously terminated it used my firewall and it still says it's running. Does anyone know where the fuck this thing might be running on my computer?

NexisX (2012-03-21)

@OmgItsAlex Tried unmounting the iso? You can't delete files that are in use. If its mounted by say..Daemon Tools then you can't delete it until after you unmount.

jmaster6918 (2012-03-21)

has anyone other than bradnowell gotten a file sharing email from there isp or is he bullshitting?

OmgItsAlex (2012-03-22)

@OmgItsAlex
I got it deleted. After several demountings and terminating and rebooting it finally deleted... No idea where it was still running though... oh well I guess.

LordOfKobol (2012-05-10)

what no uninstaller? how am I supposed to get rid of it then? I didnt care for this game, tho the updates to my directx was nice, even tho it said I didnt need them, I actually was missing a few files, had to do a sys restore to uninstall the game and now they are gone again, lmao, which directx update was that? & no im not dling the files seperately, experts seem to think its not a good idea for a few reasons so, yeah. thnx.

Sabdot (2012-06-06)

Works great so far. Anyone who's stuck on the install, you mount it. Run the Install, not the steam on, the other one. Then after letting everything update and repair you simply copy all the files in the Skidrow file and paste them into the game folder in program files it will ask you if you want to merge, say yes, then it will ask you if you want to replace, say yes again, once everything from the skidrow file is copied, you can go to that folder and double click the game to start it up.

Help please.. Anyone?

Revan027 (2012-08-09)

Whats the music at install?

Revan027 (2012-08-09)

@blakehatt
lua51_Win32.dll is needed to run the Lua scripts which Civ5 uses. It should be in the main Civ5 Install directory, so I would suggest that you go into the Steam library, right-click Civ5 and choose Properties, then switch to the Local Files tab and click on "Verify Integrity of Game Cache." That should redownload that file if it is missing or corrupt. You might want to do the same thing on the SDK download to make sure that's up to date too.

DipKins96 (2012-08-11)

Hey guys. Do I need to mount or burn the image? Because I have not done this for previous games that I have downloaded from Skidrow and reloaded and they have worked fine. Do I need to mount or burn the image to a disc? or to a virtual drive using software like DEAMON TOOLS? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. Cheers.

1st. Props to skidrow.
2nd. I was playing this game after installing. Played fine for a total of about 4 hours or so. I had to reformat my HD due to some other things I was doing. Now i've reinstalled the same was as before. when i try to launch game i get a flash of a black screen and then nothing.... I've never had a problem with a skidrow production before. Any ideas as to what i've run into? all help is appreciated

nil_pirate5 (2012-10-22)

Good news: very good torrent..no trouble downloading and installing it
Bad news: i don't have any idea how to play it!!! :D

h4ck_n_cr4ck (2012-10-24)

I figured my problem out. I was missing an optional update for Intel HD Graphics since I reformatted HDD.
Game is up and running fine. Thanks again SkidRow. Another flawless torrent.
Props to the SkidRow team!!

HELP PLEASE!
i launch the game, and as it plays the skit of the guy in the tent, it then just closes! what do i do?

murder86 (2012-10-27)

Didn't work for me, wouldn't install properly.. thanks for the up anyway :(

GhostBird (2012-10-27)

i wasnt able to install the game because of the skidrow installer, as soon as it came on i couldnt stop myself from raging

^^^ What a fucking poser

vingadorjr (2012-11-05)

Torrent broken. Crashs between or after the intro movie with a black screen abd music playing on the background. I dont recoomend it... go for the REVOLT release with expansion. Skidrow make me lose 4 hours doing researchs for this problem just to learn that it doesnt have solution. This torrent should be nuked from TPB. Dont loose your time and dont care about the many seeders... they are all a bunch of lammers like me that doesnt read the comments before the first time trying to install.

Is there anyway to fix the cloud texture it is just black owhere the cloud ( undiscovered section) is suppose to be

dabomat (2012-11-07)

my skidrow file is a .nfo file... its not a folder and coping it into the installment folder does nothing... help?

dabomat (2012-11-07)

i also am looking through the installment folder and find no .exe file

zetapulse (2012-11-09)

I had the same "crash during intro movie" problem.
"HAD" being the keyword, because there's an easy fix.
But I'm not gonna tell you.
... Like I'd ever be so mean. Just close utorrent (or whatever torrent program/related programs you have running) & relaunch the game.
Hope this works for at least 100% of you.

whiteorc (2012-11-12)

Anyone willing to upload the new patch for civ5? It's called fall patch or something. TY

hackmatic (2012-11-15)

@whiteorc: be thankful teams did what patches they did. Don't hold your breath on 10.0.2.13 or the fall patch.. Same goes for Anno2070 and other games with active support..

For anyone who don't have any .exe files in their folder after installing, if you search a few pages back, you'll find this...
"Skymocker at 2011-08-05 23:19 CET:
Here's What other commentors have successfully compiled...
Installation:
1. Mount the iso with daemon tools
2. Use the Skidrow installer to extract the files
3. My computer prompted that I was up to date with Directx 11 -> okay
4. At the end of the installer I got another window asking me to install Direct x -> Yes install/Next
5. I get another window asking me to either repair or uninstall Microsoft C++ Redistributable -> Click Repair/Install, never uninstall.
6. Exit/Close the Skidrow installer (i.e. when it's finished).
7. Go to My Computer -> Right-Click on the BD ROM/mounted Civilization iso-> open -> SKIDROW -> Copy everything with Ctrl+A and then Ctrl+C
8. Go to Program Files(x86) or just Program Files -> Sid Meier's Civilization V -> Paste everything with Ctrl+V.
9. When asked to merge folders, Copy and replace, etc. say Yes to everything, and tick the box that enables you to do it for all the future conflicts (quicker).
10. Double click Launcher (or create shortcut on desktop) --> Play!"
Steps 7, 8, and 9 will fix this.

graz44 (2012-11-17)

Can someone provide me with an activation code please?

Wildman496 (2012-11-21)

Works perfectly. If you've never cracked a game, you might have some issues(just follow instructions, derp!) but if you've done any of these games on tpb,you'll be fine.
Up to 1700 on Huge map and no issues.

Torrdude1 (2012-12-07)

First of all everyone get Power Iso, in my experience its never done me wrong and is east to use. No need to pay for it. Just mount install and play

narufry (2012-12-08)

when it asks me which version to play [directx 9/10/11 or whatever] I click it, and the box goes away, but nothing happens. nothing seems to crash or anything, just nothing happens.

narufry (2012-12-08)

now when i click it, it opens up steam and asks me if i want to buy it

Tychita (2012-12-13)

The download was pretty fast for its size but now I'm completely lost abt installation...previously had a disc that just went in and autoplayed but now I can't seem to get this to work...please help!
So far...I unpacked it and tried installing with installer.exe...process goes ok till I reach directx installation where it gives an error and fails but the installer (with the snappy music) goes on to say installation successful. I'm running windows 7 on my lappie and I have confirmed it has every d3dx9 dll file that the error msgs show as missing (and I've moved them into the same folder as well just in case)
I woudl really appreciate it if someone can do me an 'installation guide for dummies' :((

baysidenumber1 (2012-12-15)

My computer shuts off once I'm in a game for 1 minute. I cannot figure out why. Everything goes smoothly and then once I'm in a game, poof. Any suggestions?

darkhawk6 (2012-12-17)

@vingadorjr go learn how to install games, this torrent is perfect, if u got hard time to make it work, its cause u a dumass...-_-ALL skidrow releases are good, never had any problem wht his torrents...

DJOlen (2013-01-24)

Seed!! :D

blaymoric (2013-02-03)

Fine, as always with Skidrow. My only complaint is the pointless (and very annoying) music in the installer.

Jiveman7 (2013-02-10)

when i start the game i hear the intro playing but theres no video...can anyone help?

eljimix (2013-02-16)

is the game any good all i see is people complaining that itdoesnt work

clverkid (2013-02-18)

Awesome, works great.. thanks

DaDog123 (2013-02-25)

Works well, but doesn't do online. It was enough to get addicted to though, so I'm going to go buy the real one on steam. They did a great job, support it if you have the $$$.
How do I uninstall?

MBotto (2013-02-26)

guys, i need help please!!!!! there's no SKIDROW folder!! shouldn't a SKIDROW folder come in the download, and have the files to replace with the original? PLEASE HELP!!!

bpellmann (2013-02-26)

The skidrow folder is inside the .iso....

hardkore666 (2013-03-14)

okay... so when i download and do all steps, there is no intro movie. just black. but then it eventually loads the game BUT EVERY BUTTON says like "TXT_KEY_***" example, the "single player" button says "TXT_KEY_SINGLE_PLAYER" and its like this for ever button. plus the game never loads when i try to start it. i updated my java, directx, and they are up to date. what other mistake did i make?

ZCSumner (2013-03-22)

Please forgive me Mr Ceiling Cat, but, you should offer to help someone rather than being so cruel and downgrading towards them.
The point of torrenting is sharing, so why can't you share the knowledge of how to do it with the newbies?

Akaelus (2013-03-23)

Is there any way for this game to connect online or is it simply a solo version? It says it requires an active internet connection and a logged in steam account, both of which i have, however it will still not connect. Just wondering...

adamsmo (2013-03-26)

How can I get it work with Steam so I can play online?

Saitekman (2013-03-29)

Here is a bit of help for people that need help
1. You need to download a program to download the torrent. I personally use Utorrent
2. Once this is downloaded you will need a software to "mount" the iso. I use Daemon Tools. It is free so don't download any paid software.
3. I am not going to go all over how to mount, so if you want to learn go to Youtube. So on to step 3, you need to mount and then install the game.
4. Next Copy the SKIDROW contents into the program directory. To find the SKIDROW folder, its in the ISO itself. Simply go to My computer, you will see your new Virtual Drive that has the game there. Right click the drive (for me its Drive E), then select Open in new window. You now see the contents of the drive. You will see the SKIDROW folder. Now copy and paste the contents of this folder into the game directory.
5. It will ask if you want to overwrite the files in there. Say yes. Now in the game directly right click the actual game launcher and send it to your Desktop.
6. Start the game and your golden.
Hope this helps.

Saitekman (2013-03-29)

One more thing. For those asking if you can connect via steam or any online gameplay the answer is simply NO. Its simply single player.

Xolemas (2013-04-07)

Can someone PLZ give us the FUCKING product code??? plz??

Xolemas (2013-04-07)

Damn i m blind....FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE PROBLEM WITH THE PRODUCT KEY : DONT RUN THE APLICATION WITH THE NAME SETUP (steam icon) cause it needs a steam product key which u must buy apparently... run the installer above and its fine.

holierrambo (2013-04-12)

You don't need the product key, click on "install" - not setup on the CD drive. Then copy over skidrow folder on the cd drive to the installed folder of the game and it will override steams shit.

Shotypie (2013-04-28)

Great Torrent. Have played 2 full single-player campaigns with only a few crashes towards the end of the games. I have also played several online games with my friends using "Evolve" to simulate a LAN network. Multiplayer crashes alot when the game gets demanding, but it is still fun.
10/10 torrent

trented1234 (2013-04-30)

I'm about 780 turns deep on a huge map with only 2 other civs still alive. The game keeps crashing like every couple turns. I've got autosave on a turn by turn basis but it's annoying as hell still. It works fine in small maps and shorter games, but the whole point of this game to me is to play an epic campaign. Is there any fix for this? Is it this copy or just something the game can't handle?
My system is:
i7 3820 quad 3.6
16g ram
2g gtx 660

hi downloaded this before and it worked perfectly for me with no hiccups. redownloading it again because my hd got wiped and I wanted to try the new expansion pack.
do any of the expansion torrents work on this one? if so how do I got about it?? any help would be awesome. thanks.

sofr3shx (2013-06-02)

So I'm trying to play a LAN game, but it stops at the Retrieving host preferences screen. I've something about needing to change the name SKIDROW in steamclient or something like that, but I can't find it in the file. How do I fix that?

JPYoshi (2013-06-06)

I ran the whole installation thing, and it said "Installation Complete," but nothing is showing up.

vanners56 (2013-06-10)

@JPYoshi, you need to go to the mounted image in "My Computer", right click and select "Open". Then open up the "Skidrow" folder and copy everything in there to the installation folder for Civ 5. It should be in Program FIles somewehre

I have just installed the game but when I try to start it the installation window comes up, anyone who can explain what I am doing wrong?

Lukerez (2013-07-13)

My comment may be pointless after it's done installing (for the second time now). However, I am having issues with switching the language from full on Russian to English. Everything, including audio is Russian. I have tried going into the config.ini file and switching the language texts to en-US and english. It just doesn't do anything. Sorry for the wall of text, I'm just confused. I'm sure there is an easy fix. Thanks!

boltentoke (2013-07-15)

Downloaded and installed flawlessly.
1. Double click iso to start install
2. After install, right click iso and Open With --> winrar (or equivalent)
3. Extract/Open SKiDROW folder and copy EVERYTHING as is to your Program Files folder, replacing the files and folders.

collegeboy (2013-07-19)

@vdkaman: I agree with you man, I've been having problems with my game freezing so I wanted to uninstall it but I can't. Anybody got any suggestions??

dafro77 (2013-07-19)

Steam keeps preventing me from playing the game, I installed it partially with "setup.exe" and then installed it with "installer.exe But the problem keeps reoccurring! Please help!

dafro77 (2013-07-19)

Give me a detailed description of what I overwrite and how, because I already placed the skidrow folder in the install location but it does not overwrite anything and the game still is blocked by steam?

collegeboy (2013-07-21)

AiTB!!! HOW DO I UNINSTALL THIS GAME!!! YOU SHOULD LOSE YOUR SKULL & CROSS BONES FOR NOT HAVING A WAY TO UNINSTALL!!!

To all those having issue with playing LAN, just delete the steamclient.dll file and it will replace your ingame name to your pc name so you can joinw

SlashGashTerrorCrew (2013-07-26)

Just delete the folder from Program files if you want to uninstall, fuck you guys are dumb.

Weezjer (2013-08-02)

installed easily. played awesome. but both times i've played, i get to the point where it's time to choose a religion, and it won't let me choose one. everything's working great. no problems. but i can't click the button that lets me choose a religion. so i can't end my turn. and i can't progress in the game. i've tried it in both the Direct X 9 version and in the 10/11 version. it just won't do it. i don't know why, but it won't. maybe if i try to play it and i try NOT using a religion? i'm not sure. any suggestions?? i don't expect a fix for this from anyone, just hoping, idk, that someone else is having the same problem. maybe i should try a different cracked version?? fuck this sucks.

Weezjer (2013-08-02)

aaaaaaand i commented on the wrong torrent. whoops.

shyrkhan (2013-08-16)

Did anyone menage to get this torrent working on Linux???? Please respond, I'm trying to install it with Wine(PLay on LInux), but Steam is giving me problems...IS there a way around this or am I going to have to download another torrent??

shyrkhan (2013-08-17)

Nevermind, I'm an idiot... I've been running the setup instead of the installer.

viciktor (2013-08-27)

Hi guys, I'm writing because I managed to play multiplayer via LAN. You can try to use Tunngle or Evolve, though these didn't work for me. What worked was :

Unfortunately, if you have already downloaded the game you will have to redownload it from the given link. The instructions are also in the link.

Every time I start up the program it says that windows is searching for a solution, then it just closes the game. I went to delete all the files and do a fresh install but it says I can't delete any files because I don't have permission. How can I fix this?

MadHat42 (2014-03-15)

A+
Fast download speed (1.5-2mbs)
Game works great, easy to install just follow the directions. Here's some instructions for playing LAN games, I'm trying it tonight I'll let you know if they work.
- backup steamclient.dll
- open steamclient.dll in any hex editor.
- search for SKIDROW – first match at 0×31040 is it. you see pid before, SAVES after
- change SKIDROW to any other name – keep it 7 charakters length
- save it
- start civ5, host a lan game, check if your name has changed (if it didnt work, you messed something up – try again)
- if so, you can now play lan games with friends (even over openvpn) since everyone got another name

MadHat42 (2014-03-17)

Hey just checking back, the LAN game did work.

*LAN FIX* in game
For those that are trying to play on lan, and have issues once in game with eachother vs AI
You must select the leader for the CIV AI...Meaning you cannot team up on lan with a friend, and play against random AI. Otherwise you might be forever waiting on the cpu to make a move.
Change random AI to any leader.

ltchaz (2014-06-13)

Is this up to date and if you arent can you release an update to the current build?

neomacro (2014-08-04)

I brought this game and am confused on how to uninstall this one. I don't see any options for "Sid Meier's", "Skidrow" or "Civilization". How can we uninstall this game?

mjb1784 (2014-10-25)

neo it doesn't have an uninstaller so you can safely delete the game folder it's self. If you have CCcleaner, use it to clean out the registry values from this skidrow release.
also, goto the folder My Documents/My Games and delete the folder labeled Sid Meier's Civilization 5. To get rid of the old Config/save files which are not up to date, and do interfere with the steam version. (I am telling you all this because i had to go through this due to issues when i bought it on steam)
After that go into steam and check the file integrity for Sid Meier's Civilization 5 that you own. And all is well. This will give you a clean boot up of the game. Old save files from this game get bugged out if u use them on steam.

mjb1784 (2014-11-24)

*DO NOT BOTHER IF U PLAN TO PLAY LAN*
Yes lan works, but at around turn 240 +, you or the other player start disconnecting at random. Tested on Local Lan, not 3p (like tungle)
Instead, get this version.

http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/10283049/Sid.Meier_s.Civilization.V.Game.Of.The.Year.Edition.Repack-R.G.M

*note* This version i posted is way better, it is up to date, the game runs so much smoother, and the gameplay updates are perfect.
