Step 2. Create association of Civilization 5 with CIV5SAVE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CIV5SAVE file still does not use the Civilization 5 program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties.

Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type.

The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Civilization 5 application as the default for handling the CIV5SAVE file.

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the CIV5SAVE file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CIV5SAVE or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected CIV5SAVE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of CIV5SAVE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CIV5SAVE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Take-Two Interactive Software help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CIV5SAVE files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the CIV5SAVE file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the CIV5SAVE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CIV5SAVE file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
