This incredible artwork from Emmy award-winning artist Teddy Wright IV captures each of our five leaders in all their greatness: In recognition of the month, our team is paying tribute to Civ’s Black leaders and their lasting marks on the world. Just to summarize once more: actual game good, constant crashes bad.įebruary is Black History Month in the United States and Canada, a celebration of contributions from the African diaspora to culture, society, and history. I realize that Firaxis has no interest in dealing with the crash issues since they have already gotten their money out of me, so all I can do is discourage others from going down the same rabbit hole that I find myself in until they fix the problem. Instead of a relaxing Sunday morning playing my favourite game like it used to be, it has now become an exercise in frustration management. The crashes - which tended to occur every ten turns or thirty minutes until I shut down the auto-save and extended the game-time to around forty turns - have pretty much ruined the game experience, especially since it takes sooooo bloody long to re-launch the game and then load the saved game. This has been a problem for many other users according to the forums and Firaxis appears to be doing nothing to address the problem except updating the launcher. What has changed is the constant crashes and freezes that begin to occur for me at around the 350 to 400 turn mark. I should qualify this statement: the game, itself, is excellent. Since then, the game has become a piece of crap. It is a beautiful game and I am glad I went through it a couple of times, but I just don't feel like playing it longer term.Up until last April, I would have posted an enthusiastic endorsement of this product, but that was last April. Adding cool sounding features that don't quite work. People are pretty annoyed at the AI playing this badly based on premises that don't even apply to the current gen rules.īetween that and the bugs it feels like a very impressive game whose developers never actually bothered trying to play their own game.

albeit the city is placed in a poor spot.

except due to rules and mechanics changes in civ6 if an AI forward settles you instead of harming you it is actually the AI just gifting you a free city that they cannot protect at a great cost to the AI. sid meyer was "ok, cool" and instead of changing the rules to break it just started programming the AI to forward settle the players, using human derived tactics. For example, in civ1 people used a strategy called "forward settling" to cripple the AI. Also very very long standing bugs that were well known for over a year don't get fixed despite being simple and easy to fix.

the community UI fix mod is actually rather nice.

Also, the UI sucks and a community UI fix mod is mandatory. they added some nice stuff, removed some really annoying features, and added some new really annoying features too.ĪI is still terminally stupid and the only way it can pose even the slightest challenge is by having it cheat like crazy. So DX12 is still much worse, nothing changedĬlick to is a mixed bag. Note that those are times to render a frame not FPS. Out of curiosity I went ahead and made one myself to see how it fares in 2018 after they had time to patch it.ġ440p borderless window with all options set to max. I tried to find a newer benchmark but could find none, only countless articles about how bad DX12 version sucks and how its worse than DX11 on benchmarks and nobody should run it. Being artificially limited to newest models only and even on them it was slower than DX11.
#CIV 6 PATCH CIV FORUM UPDATE#
It turns out that DX12 for civ6 was a bit notorious, because when it was released in 2016 via an update it sucked. I was curious to know what the first option actually was (it is DX11 for the curious) so I googled it, and in so doing discovered something interesting. When I did it asked me if I want to run "civ 6" or "civ 6 DX12". I had just gotten civ6 from the humble bundle and thought to try it out.
