DirectX Initialization Failure

Thank you so much for your reply.

Hi, i've tried the following.

Method 1: I'm running Window's 10. I cannot seem to find a "display" tab. I've found "display settings." From there I don't see any option for "Advanced settings" or "troubleshoot" tab. Any guidance on how to find it on Window's 10 would be appreciated.

Method 2: All controllers are working. The game, Civilization will not even fire up before I get the "DirectX initialization Error.

Method 3: The diagnostic tool Dxdiag does not list a error and the window's system is reporting Direct X: version 12 is working.

Thank you for reply before. I'll try anything that can be suggested.
