Apocalypse Mode Not owned

[Timmerman73]

So I yesterday bought the platinum edition of civ6 after having the base game for some time.
And I wanted to play Aplocalypse mode for some time for fun.
But when i tried making a multiplayer game using apocalypse mode it says "not owned"
Is there something im doing wrong. Apocalypse mode is content of gathering storm right?
I can play it but my friend has to make the game with apocalypse mode enabled and I can join and play just fine.

Anyways if anyone could help that would be appriciated.

To be clear.. do you both own Gathering Storm?

You BOTH need GS for that mode to be allowed. It has a GS requirement, unlike the 2 Civs that come with the DLC, which do not have that same requirement.

If you do both own it, it sounds like either your install is messed up a little, or you don't have the DLC activated in the mods list.

This is the pack i bought.

And i own gathering storm and rise and fall.

And I do have the dlc enabled in the mod list since I do have the option to pick the ruleset.
But il reinstall the game just to be sure. Since i also have some problems with the game taking forever to start. Anyways thanks for the help.

I just purchased this myself and I’m having the same issue. Did you ever find a solution?

Sadly not. Just quickly checked if I could start a game with it but the only extra game mode that shows for me is the tech shuffle mode.

I guess I forgot to ask the more obvious question in my first post...

Do you have the "Maya and Gran Colombia Pack" DLC?

Or the New Frontier Pass? (as that does include that DLC)

Overall, you need to own both that DLC and that portion of the DLC requires that you own GS to work. Meaning you can buy the DLC and get the two civs, but if you don't also own GS, then the apocalypse mode won't be active.

If you have Platinum, then you do have GS. From there make sure that GS is enabled in both Steam and in the Civ VI options, and that you are using the GS ruleset in your create game options.

"Pack #1: Maya & Gran Colombia Pack.
Adds two new civilizations and leaders, one new game mode*, new City-States, Resources, and Natural Wonders."

The denoted * leads to this a bit lower on the page:

"*New game mode requires the Gathering Storm expansion to play."

Ah I think you found the reason its not showing up for me. I don't own the Gran Colombia pack or the frontier pass so thats why its not showing up. (For me atleast)
I was under the impression it was included in gathering storm (as would seem logical)

Thanks for the help!
