Units disappearing, Is anyone else having this problem?

[D.M.E]

Hi, I've put 100+ hours into Civ 6 so far and I've only seen it happen twice but it can be bloomin annoying, Obvious I've checked that reasons such as deletion due to bankrupcy are not the cause nor is death by enemy fire. Todays example, I had a battleship, perfect condition, I destroyed an enemy city states ancient level land unit that was nearby on the water, I did it because another of there land units nicked a settler I'd just dropped off on a far away continent even though I did not know we had bad blood. Anyway my Battleship easily dispatched the enemy ship as you'd expect but then it preceded to disappear.

A game or two ago I had a similar experience with an aircraft carrier that was transporting two bombers and not even in a danger zone. If there was a Bermuda triangle in the game I'd understand (Good idea for a mod maybe?) but there's not and it can often leave you shorthanded.

So am I the only one or not

did you still have line of sight on where it dissapeared afterwards? Because I've had units die with battle animations turned on without the game ever showing me or telling me after the fact

your units disappear when you are at 0 gold and at negative gold per turn, you will lose 1 unit a turn

I realised before I even completed my turn so the AI didn't have a chance to retaliate, plus it had nothing capable of troubling me at that point, I used the battleship to destroy a cavalry unit that was on the water, Then the camera panned over to another unit for me to play it's move, When I moved back across the map I found that the battleship was gone as well as the cavalry ship..

I just built 2 battleships armadas and they both just vanished i'm not even in a war

I've had planes disappear several times. I also just had two planes disappear from a carrier and then reappear in my encampment (not my airport, my encampment!). It's super strange, the game is very buggy.

I just had settlers linked to a longship disappear in-transit. :((

This is definitely not just your problem. I am currently playing hot seat with my gf and I had 15 units going to attack one of her cities. Next turn I just had 3. No notification of units being destroyed. 1400 gold in the bank. +130 gold per turn. Yeah.

I was hoping it would of been fixed by now

It's still happening. Previous game my Builder disappeared, and this game my Settler disappeared.

In both cases they were being escorted, no natural disaster nor bankrupcy. No notification at all.
The escorting unit did survive.

That's a shame I haven't touched Civ 6 for a month or two but I'm about an hour or so into a new game with the new DLC expansion so it's a bit of a bummer that they haven't fixed it.

Still happening in 2020. Lost a nuclear sub fleet, a rocket artillery corps, another nuclear sub, and who knows what else that I just didn't notice. Really sad that this never got fixed.

I'd very, very curious for a save from just before the disappearing and the steps listed to make them disappear on my own pc. Perhaps others can help explain why it happens?

going back months there's no such report on civfanatics of "disappearing units" and I have never seen it happen without reason.

of course this doesn't mean that it "can not" happen, and it sucks if it's happening. but the "bug" is either so rare that no one who reports bugs experiences it, or it happens because of some obsolete mod.

ya, if you can reproduce it, and you're sure it's not caused by a bad mod, you should definitely contribute a saved game file here or at civfanatics. maybe there is some other condition that triggers such a bug that it's rarely seen.

but if it does not happen with zero 3rd party mods, no one's going to look at it. the company can't be responsible for every mistake people outside the company make.

Hi, I don't ever use mods so that's ruled out for me, If I see it happen again when I next play Civ VI I'll post on the linked forums bug thread. Cheers.
