Civilization V stopped working after installing build 10041

After installing build 10041, civilization V crashes when loading a game.

This worked perfectly just before the installation and fails after.
anybody else experiencing this issue? Any solutions?
My guess is that it is a directx issue but I can't be sure.

Just to prevent the questions being asked, it is a 100% legit version of Civilization installed over steam.
I tried reinstalling directx and reinstalling CIV V. Both failed. Drivers updated. Also f

Please provide us with your Event Viewer administrative logs by following these steps:

Save all Events in Custom View As...
Save them in a folder where you will remember which folder and save as Errors.evtx
Go to where you saved Errors.evtx
Right click Errors.evtx -> send to -> compressed (zipped) folder
Upload the .zip file to Onedrive or a file sharing service and put a link to it in your next post * If you have updated to win 8.1 and you get the error message "the system cannot find the file specified" it is a known problem.  The work around is to edit the registry.  If you are not comfortable doing this DONT.  If you are, backup the key before you do Press Win+"R" and input regedit
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Channels. Delete "Microsoft-Windows-DxpTaskRingtone/Analytic"

OK, done as you asked.

BTW, apparently you can start a new game just not load any existing game once saved which probably means this isn't activex...

There is a link to an event viewer log from another system with another problem. My Chrome stopped working. When I try to open a new window (windows when I start the program initially), the processes seem to get loaded but no open window. I could open a single window from the history. My KB also stops working. I need to copy and paste from another program.

If I go to use Firebox, that has different problems. In all, it looks like sibling rivalry (we won't let other browsers run in our OS) making the customers miserable, frustrated and angry.

Hi all,

From the result, this game might not be compatible with Windows 10 Technical Preview (10041 build), many users have this error code:

STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN (0xc0000409)  which refers to a stack buffer overflow

In such situation, we need contact the game manufacturer to get more help.

Regards,

Alex Zhao

I'll not post my log, since you seem to have narrowed down the issue.  The question most of have is "what was changed from build 9926, when Civ V worked, that could cause this specific issue?"
