The game just came out yesterday and it is going to require a 2 hour update already? Do you have to do that every time to launch the game? I reached the point where it was "Updating Civ 5" once. The internet out here won't let me log into Steam. Is it even possible to play the game once you get it installed? I am beginning to wonder. I am out here in the middle of nowhere, where it has taken me 5 hours and still going just to get to this point, where it was telling me it is still 2 hours until the game is ready to play. I ended up with the biggest headache ever. My god I have no clue whose idea it was to require all this Steam garbage but I want to murder them in their sleep.

If you put Steam into "offline mode" you will still need to launch Steam to run the game but won't need to have an active internet connection to play the game.

Joined: Jul 25, Messages: When I use the Civ 5 DX11 desktop icon or taskbar icon it prompts me to login to Steam, and if I do not login it simply does not start the game.Īren't we supposed to be able to play the game without starting up Steam? I thought we only needed Steam for the initial verification? Is it because I bought the game through Steam? Does that version only let you play if Steam is running?
