Did the recent Updates break the game?

[Vandals]

Hi everyone,

I'm coming back from like a 5-6 month break, and in my 300+ hours I never had any issues with the game. Everything worked perfectly fine, even the multiplayer.

However in my last 4 games, in all 4 games after turn 100+ sometimes my game freezes at the end of the turn and crashes to desktop without an error message, or it stucks waiting for the AI to finish their turn.

I didn't change anything, only using the pin-map mod and nothing else.

Did anyone experience such issues?

Crashing on first turn. Friend crashing and desync. All related to the newest updates. Double check you coding before dumping a crappy update on us please.

No mods, frequent crashes :( Crashes occur mainly before a new turn. Very disappointing, hope THEY are working on in! I think something went wrong with the barbarian upgrade...

Actually the update the last year has improved game stability by a ton.
Make sure your system is updated if you play on an older system.

The mods shouldnt be a factor anymore since the game mechanics solved most issues and even tell you before playing that X mod isnt working.

If PC is updated, then do a verify game files on steam and delete the mod folder before you run a game could fix the issue.

To answer your question if the updates broke civ.
No. It fixed civ.

If you crash on first turn = Turn off mods.

However I do get crashes with the new barbarian mode. Try to turn it off and try again, fixed basicly every crash for me + update graphics and windows updates.

Same here DX11 or DX12. No mods, running Windows 10, Version 20H2, 64gb, latest drivers, GTX1080. The game now crashes on random turns with 0000000 as the error report. Basically unplayable product right now.

Ether the release was not party to the insider program or as always, I blame macrosuk.

I've grown to expect that nothing is supposed to work on the insider program, and it's just fortune, karma, or a gift from the Gods if something does.

Hmm. That may be it. The last 6 crashes I've had have all come with barbarian mode on.

Not having any trouble at all. Scrubbed all mods out and am slowly adding a few back in. So far, totally stable.

Same here. Just happened after a few turns. Every time I play, I get some form of crashing- either it closes right to my desktop, freezes and closes, or "stops responding."

[ColdStar]

Same here. Game crashed after about 20 rounds, no mods. Tried DX 11 and 12. I tried the game also without the new mofifications (Barbarian and Tech) wich came with the update.
As long there is no fix, Civ died for me

Game runs like molasses for me. Takes 10-20 minutes just to get to the splash screens. Turns on a fresh game, standard map take at least 5 minutes to cycle back to me. Verified games files, done full restarts, full reinstalls, updated my video card drivers, turned down the video settings. Everything I can think of really. No mods installed, even with barbarian tribes turned off I still get these issues. Either something in the latest update or the update to Windows 10 has messed things up. Other games (Pillars of Eternity II, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Beat Hazard 2) are running fine with no slowdown.

Here's a fun set of glitches me and my friend are running into since the last update.
Preface, since some low-IQ individual always says it's mods when this game breaks: I have never subscribed to or installed a single mod for any version of Civ 6, and neither has the friend I typically play against.

Now, the situation: both of us can launch single-player games without issue, running any/all DLC, scenarios, you name it. HOWEVER, when we attempt to start a multiplayer game we both receive the dreaded "Mod Failed to Load" message and the game will not start.

The plot thickens: the game works fine if we both de-activate the Gathering Storm expansion and run vanilla Civ 6. So the issue is clearly with that particular expansion, and re-downloading it will fix the problem, right?

Wrong. Re-downloading/installing the DLC didn't work. We both verified the Steam cache and found no errors. Deleting various caches (mods.SQLite, etc) didn't work. The game is just broken... but (in our case at least) ONLY for multiplayer.

I did these too and turned off the new barbarian mode and though the crashes are less frequent, they still occur so it isn't just the barbarian mode causing the crashes unfortunately.

No mods, have a game crash to desktop after about 100 turns playing as Hammurabi, and in multiplayer with friends we can't open our civics tree.
