Civ V for Mac = Borked with Black Screen

less than 1 minute read

I purchased Civ V for Mac the day it was released. LOVE…LOVE…LOVE Civilization. I had this issue after the 4GiB Download on 3 different machines and configurations that the music would play, but no graphics. Black nothingness taunted me for days. Aspyr was silent and worthless as usual and the forums sang with similar rage. Here is the fix for me on my Mac Mini and Air:

Edit “Documents/Aspyr/Sid Meier’s Civilization 5/UserSettings.ini”

Change SkipIntroVideo = 0

to

SkipIntroVideo = 1

DONE!
