Cross-platform Sync Broken

[AliasMrJones]

I have a Windoze gaming desktop and a Macbook Pro. I previously played an entire game to a religious victory seamlessly playing across both platforms (hooray)! I just started a new game on Mac and cloud saved. I then continued on the Windoze desktop just fine and cloud saved again. Now, though, I can't see the cloud save file on my Mac.

I checked on the desktop machine and it appears that the new save file is from a new version of Civ 6. I am guessing that a version difference between Windoze and Mac versions of Civ 6 has broken cross-platform save file compatibility. I verified that it is not just a cloud issue by transferring the save file via dropbox and Civ 6 locks up on the Mac while trying to load the file.

1. Has anyone else run into this issue?
2. Aspyr help us! I realize Aspyr probably has to wait for the Windoze versions to be done and then "wrap" them, but if there are going to be multiple platforms supported and a cloud sync available, coordinating releases so things like this don't break is a necessity.

Same issue arises when playing MP. Just something you have to live with for now. Aspyr has to play catch up every time a new patch is released.

Fireaxis should coordinate releases with Aspyr so this doesn't happen! (At least ones that break cross-compatibility with save files or multi-player) I guess I'm going to have to figure out how to turn off auto-update and do release management myself. I mean come on they must have gone through this with Civ 5 - you would think they would have learned how to not break things.

uhhh what is a windoze gaming desktop to begin with? and fireaxis? never heard of these, did you get a cheap knockoff windows or something?

same thing for me here, windows side is fine but mac side cannot load from cloud. Life is hard...

Ummm...fireaxis made the game. You do know what civ 6 is, right?

no, Firaxis made the game, no bloody clue who Fireaxis is.

Let's not nitpick people's spelling, thanks. You can tell perfectly well what they are talking about.

except I totally can't. they could definitely mean something completely different that I've never heard of before, which is why they're having issues.

Well, that would imply that either a) you're easily confused, or b) you're nitpicking just to make a point. If it's (a), then I apologise. If it's (b), that comes very close to trolling and certainly isn't civil behaviour.
