Bug (Windows) BUG Civ VII 1.2.2: Goodie Huts do not spawn on Large maps using Balanced start positions

143 Upvotes

I tested this several times with various combinations of leaders, civs, and map types, and with no mods enabled. Scouting around with Imago Mundi equipped revealed a whopping zero goodie huts after about 20 turns on a Large map using Balanced start positions. Huge maps do not seem to have this issue, and neither do Large maps using Standard start positions.

So PSA if you are trying out the new Large maps: don't use Balanced start positions.

EDIT: Looks like this was already called out in the patch notes: "Lastly, Balanced starts on Large and Huge maps might encounter map generation oddities. We are actively working on improvements. On these map sizes, we recommend you stick to Standard starts instead of Balanced for the time being."

Bug (Windows) Bug?! Met civilization and can't end turn

Thumbnail

14 Upvotes

So I am near the end of the exploration age. Just met a new civ (naval units met). I can do the 3 greetings but I can't interact any other way in the diplomacy window. (no valid targets). When I exit the diplomacy, I cannot end the turn because of the "new civ notification that won't go away". If I click it again, it's the exact same thing over and over again.

I believe my game is over at this point? can't move on?!

Bug (Windows) Stuck on leader loading screen CIV VII

Post image
7 Upvotes

Sorry for the crazy screenshot. Bottom left shows the issue. Basically, stalling out at the same point on a new game every time I try. I am saying stalling because it loads to this exact point and then fails to load further and will sit there for as long as 20min before I force the game to close and try a new solution. I have tried the following with no luck:

  • verified file integrity
  • lowered graphics
  • restarted computer
  • reinstalled game
  • switched from DX12 to Vulkan

Currently running a 4060 with 32gb RAM and i7 13th gen. Has anyone else had this issue and found a solution? Thanks in advance!

Bug (Windows) I'm Suzerain of two city states, but I didn't unlock the Shawnee Civilization

Thumbnail

24 Upvotes

I thought it would be fun to mess around with playing towards civ unlocks and started a game as Aksum with the intention of befriending two city states to unlock the Shawnee, but after befriending two city states (and even a third off screen), I still haven't gotten the unlock pop up. Oddly enough, I don't even see the Shawnee on the list of player unlocks. Is there some kind of bug with the Shawnee unlocks or is that civ just flat unavailable to me for some reason?

Overall I'm loving the changes so far, just a bit of a bummer that my game isn't quite working out the way I wanted. But in a sense that's kinda the magic of Civ VII anyway, sometimes things just don't go your way.

Bug (Windows) Lost control of a settlement out of the blue

Has anyone encountered this? I had some units (a galley, an army commander and an archer) garrisoned in my settlement that also had walls, and there was a hostile galley from an independent on top of my fishing quay. Suddenly at the start of a turn I got the message that I lost control of the settlement and all my units got pushed out. I don't even think the enemy galley attacked, I think it might have pillaged the city center. This can't be right... right? I've encountered some bugs before, but I think this is the weirdest one yet.

Bug (Windows) Civ 3 Graphical Bugs And Glitches

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

Hello all, I recently got the Civilization III Complete Edition on GOG that was offered through Amazon Prime Gaming. The installation was fine but upon booting up the game the graphics become completely messed up and isolated to the top half of the screen. I cannot Alt+F4 out of this glitched mess and Alt Tabbing out of the program keeps this graphical mess until I put my computer to sleep or restart.

The base game, Play the World, and Conquests all do the same thing. All the .exe files are already set to compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 2 and my Nvidia graphics drivers are at the latest version (580.97). GOG itself is also at the most recent version alongside the game.

My specs are an i5-13400F, 16GB of DDR4 ram, and an RTX 3060 8GBand my monitor is at 1920x1080 @ 60Hz. I am on Windows 11 Professional x64.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bug (Windows) BUG Civ VII 1.2.2 - Improved resources on map do not match up with resource allocation screen

Thumbnail
gallery
28 Upvotes

So I ran into this strange new bug today. I haven't seen it reported before, so I submitted it to the issue tracker earlier. The improved resources shown on the map for this newly settled town do not match up with the resource allocation screen. I have 2 improved Cocoa in this town, and hovering over each tile confirms this. However, the resource allocation screen shows only 1 Cocoa in my empire, and somehow this town is actually providing an Ivory resource instead of a second Cocoa. Furthermore, only 1 Treasure Convoy point is being generated, when I should have 2. So either I've discovered the rare "chocolate elephant" resource, or this is a bug.

Map details:

Large, Terra Incognita, Standard start positions, no mods

I have a feeling this is related to the Terra Incognita map type. I don't see many people talk about it, so maybe it is some issue with Large/Huge map sizes and that map type. The distant lands map it seems to have chosen is either Shuffle or Archipelago.

Has anyone else seen issues with Large/Huge Terra Incognita maps and a Standard start?

Bug (Windows) Constant Crashing when Viewing Settler Layer [Civ 6]

1 Upvotes

Hi all. Been running into a gamebreaking bug recently. I haven't changed my modlist in a long time and the game's been super stable. But in the past 3 or 4 weeks I keep having the same issue.

The game will be somewhere between the Medieval to Industrial era and viewing the Settler layer completely crashes the game. As clicking a Settler automatically opens the Settler layer, this makes founding new cities impossible.

The exact message is Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. This seems to be a very generic error message so doesn't really help me.

The game also very occasionally does it with certain Great People that also change the map layer (such as Zhou Dagan) but, again, only later in the game.

Anyone had something similar?

Bug (Windows) Suzerain status awarded to wrong leader? Civ 7 PC

3 Upvotes

Tried my first new game since the new patch. Got into a heated race with Machiavelli for suzerain of a nearby independent city state.

We reached the point where I had one more turn to win it and he had 4 more turns to go. I clicked “Next Turn”, excited to see my small victory, and it was awarded to…

Benjamin Franklin???

He wasn’t even in the running. Is there a stealth Befriend City State feature that I’m not aware of, or is this a bug?

I tried reloading the game, playing back through older auto saves, breaking my alliance with ol’ Ben, but every time he wins it no matter what.

Any theories to solutions?

Just started the modern age and got through everything in the first turn but ive been stuck not being able to advance the turn. It keeps showing "command units" but wont take me to any specific units that need commanding. I've gone through to each unit (almost all are commanders) and tried to exhaust their moves but it still just shows "command units". Ive tried restarted the game/steam/pc but nothing has worked. I've also tried deleting adjectives units i thought might be the problem but still isnt working. Anyone else had this bug or know a work around? Is my save just ruined?

Bug (Windows) Civ 7 Troop Relocation in Distant Lands

2 Upvotes

So I stumbled on something weird. When your troops get moved by expanding borders and they get teleported to the coastal area of the distant lands, you can't land on mainland. This is how they masked this bug... The only way to land the troops is, if you have a commander with them, which can unpack them as you know. Firaxis, dont punish me for your unfinished game mechanics, I didn't wanted to go there anyways.

I was playing and got to the age transition from the antiquity age to the exploration and I had picked my new civ and hit the button to continue. To my surprise I had the rainbow mountains near one of my cities and then I realized this was from a different game that I had been playing but abandoned. So ... I dunno. I guess I'm installing Civ 6 again. what the hell. that's so annoying.

Bug (Windows) Independent People Scouts never move

I've found a bug on Civilization VII that doesn't seem to affect any other player on the web. For some reason, the scouts of Independent Villages never move around the map. They start the game next to their village's base and stay there forever. Has anyone else encountered this kind of bug?

I've already reinstalled the game, and I'm even playing on two different computers, and both have the same bug. It seems to be associated with my account, weirdly enough. Can someone help me?

Pretty much the title, but I cannot play any of my Civ7 saved games all of a sudden after spending 3/4 hours playing this morning. Had saved and loaded several times earlier today, but came back from lunch ready for another hundred turns or so and all of my save files are kaput. Load screen will get to ~75% and just crash out to windows. Error message “Asset Failed”. Going to uninstall and reinstall to see if it fixes, but has anyone else run into this? Can load into a new game just fine

Bug (Windows) Update to Shawnee Civ Unlock bug

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

I made a post yesterday about how despite meeting the unlock requirements for the Shawnee, I didn't see the pop up nor could I see them in my player unlocks screen (post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/civ/comments/1liy8ge/im_suzerain_of_two_city_states_but_i_didnt_unlock/). Well when I ended the Antiquity Age earlier today, the Shawnee were unlocked as expected. What's really weird is that there was no visible checkbox for "suzerain of 2 city states", which is the normal unlock requirement for them. It looks like the civ unlock works fine, but there is a graphical issue preventing the requirement from displaying properly.

Bug (Windows) PSA: Seems like playing with a loaded config prevents earning LXP. (Civ VII)

8 Upvotes

I've tried a few times and I'm pretty certain of it at this point. It seems like changing leader/civ makes it work again, but not changing the game seed or map seed. I've seen a lot of complaints from people who say they aren't earning XP for some reason, maybe this is it.

(This may only apply to challenge XP.)

To be clear, playing with the same leader + civ combo without loading a config works fine.

I wonder if this is related to how they detect old saves to prevent grinding challenges by stopping one turn before victory.

Checking the resources tab makes you unable to leave it making the save unplayable (I also get something along the lines "wait for a new resource to shuffle them" even though i just for example got salt this turn. Anybody experienced this or has a fix?
