Civilization 5 keeps crashing!?

Question

When it started, I would get maybe 5 minutes of gameplay, then my computer would freeze. I set all the video/graphics settings to as low as they would go, and I disabled fullscreen mode. Now the crashes when I'm starting up a game as it tells you about your civilization! It didn't freeze my computer though, it just did the "CIV5 has stopped working... searching for solution" thing. I'm running DX11. I pirated the game from here>http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/5850233/Sid.Meiers.Civilization.V-SKIDROW-[tracker.BTARENA.org].iso
I followed the instructions from the youtube video here> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tOkP3blOec
I did the Computer>Manage>EventViewer>WIndowsLogs>Applications and it came up with a ton of errors from "Bonjour Services", and one from civ5_DX11.exe. Here is what that one said: Faulting application name: CivilizationV_DX11.exe, version: 1.0.0.17, time stamp: 0x4c9b9292
Faulting module name: d3d11.dll, version: 6.1.7601.17514, time stamp: 0x4ce7b7b0

Thank You in advance!

Answer 1

looks like you picked up a faulty file from pirate bay. try a different crack, and if it doesn't work, download another copy of Civ V. I f still not working, the problem is not the game, it's your computer since it probably can't run the scripts and even low graphics. give me your pc specs for evaluation
