No idea, but if possible, always buy old games on GOG.com. Every game there works like a charm on modern systems, and all games are DRM-Free, so you can download the installer and keep it forever without needing Internet connections and so.
Fun video :D I'd forgotten just HOW bad the writing for that game was. According to https://www.igdb.com/games/sid-meiers-civilization-beyond-earth/credits BE had FOUR writers! I can imagine they just spent a few years filling out a JIRA board and being overpaid, rather than having any creative investment in their game.
