1.0.1.383 Save games won't load

[davidjm]

I recently formatted and installed Windows 7 and now Civ5 is unplayable. After a varying number of turns, if I save a game and try to reload, the game will crash during the load--"Civ 5 has stopped working". I can start new games fine, and I can load newish games okay, it's only when the games have progressed beyond turn 80 to 100 they won't load anymore.

My games are not using mods.

Here's the crash report:

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: CivilizationV_DX11.exe
Application Version: 1.0.1.383
Application Timestamp: 4e41c172
Fault Module Name: MSVCP90.dll
Fault Module Version: 9.0.30729.4940
Fault Module Timestamp: 4ca2ef5c
Exception Code: c0000005
Exception Offset: 0000506e
OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3
Locale ID: 1033
Additional Information 1: 0a9e
Additional Information 2: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789
Additional Information 3: 0a9e
Additional Information 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789

Here's a list of things I have tried that did not fix the problem:

1) Verifying the game cache on Steam, several times
2) Deleting the appcache in the Steam folder
3) Disabling the steam cloud sync on Steam
4) Disabling the steam overlay in-game
5) Deleting and reinstalling the game itself on Steam
6) Deleting and reinstalling Steam itself
7) Running the game directly from the game folder, and not from Steam
8) Running the game while Steam is in offline mode
9) Playing in windowed mode
10) Playing with Directx 9 instead of 11
11) Reinstalling my video drivers
12) Reverting overclock settings to factory default
13) Verifying integrity of MSVCP90.dll

I'm starting to get pissed off. I've visited 100 threads on 10 different forums about this exact issue and nobody seems to have a solution that works. Anybody want to take a stab here?
