A post on the Civilization blog on Thursday announced the 'Australian Summer 2017 update,' available now, includes support for Steam Workshop and modding tools for anyone who wants to give . The update also includes team support for multiplayer, premium DLC for the Australia civilization, and the usual balance changes and bugfixes.

The mod tools include the following, as detailed on :

Civilization 6: Rise and Fall add-on release and new patch. Firaxis Games has today released not only the add-on Rise and Fall but also a new patch for the strategy game Civilization 6. Amongst other things, the update makes some changes to the AI behaviour, improves the user interface and tweaks to general balancing.

The post also adds that ModBuddy will be updated in the future as part of a modding SDK update, and that 'these tools do not include DLL source for Civilization VI at this time.'

The Australia DLC marks the first time an Australian civilization has appeared in the series. , and it turned out 'coming soon' really meant soon. The Civ blog says Australia has been a 'consistent top pick by our fans,' which finally earned it a seat at the table. and includes the 'Outback Tycoon' scenario, which the blog describes like so:

'In this 60 turn non-combat scenario, you race to explore Australia, find its natural resources, and use them to enrich your colony. This competitive economic scenario has no combat. It emphasizes exploration and territorial expansion to increase your Gold per Turn net income, which is your score.'

Modding/Steam Workshop support, and the rest of the changes in this patch, are free.

Civilization VI just launched, and while many of you are one-more-turning into the small hours, many, it seems, are struggling with a couple of nasty bugs. Reports of problems playing the game are especially common since the weekend. If that’s you, hopefully we can help.

Is Civilization VI worth enduring these bugs to play? Find out in our review.

General fixes

There are a couple of steps you can take to fix most issues on most games.

• First, double-check your system meets the minimum requirements to run the game. Remember, Civ 6 doesn’t support 32-bit operating systems.
• Second, ensure Civ 6 has been correctly installed on your machine. Right-click the game in your Steam library and select ‘Properties’. Click on the ‘Local Files’ tab, and then on ‘Verify integrity of game cache’.
• Third, update your graphics card drivers. You can get the latest Nvidia drivers here, and the latest AMD drivers here.

Civ 6 hangs or crashes on loading screen, or takes a very long time to load

This seems to be one of the most common issues since the weekend. Fortunately, it has a fairly simple fix; reports both on Reddit and CivFanatics indicate the problem is with Windows Defender.

Civilization 6 Patch Notes

Start by adding an exclusion for your Civ 6 folder. In Windows 10, from the start menu, go to ‘Settings’, then ‘Update & Security’, then ‘Windows Defender’. Click ‘Add an Exclusion’, and then ‘Exclude a Folder’. Navigate to your Civ 6 folder and select it. This way you can keep Windows Defender running but tell it to stop doing whatever it’s doing to Civ 6. If this doesn’t work, try excluding your entire Steam folder.

Another possible fix is to allow Civ 6 through Windows Firewall. Use Cortana to search for Windows Firewall and click ‘Allow an app through Windows Firewall’, then scroll down the following list until you see Civ 6. If you’restillhaving issues, you can try disabling Windows Defender altogether, but this should be a last resort.

Sound issues

Some players are reporting sound problems, including crackling noises, desynchronisation, sound running too fast or simply not playing at all. Try lowering your sound quality: go to ‘Settings’ in the main menu, click the ‘Sound’ tab, and lower the sound quality to 16-bit.

Missing .dll files

Programs like games use instructions contained in dynamic-link library (.dll) files to call on other files to do certain things. If you’re missing some, the quickest fix is to ensure all the likely parts of your system are up to date.

Start by reinstalling or updating DirectX. You should also perform a check for updates via ‘Windows Update’ in the ‘Settings’ menu. Restart your computer once you’ve done this.

If that hasn’t worked, you can find and replace the missing .dll file manually. The error message should specify which file you’re missing, so copy/paste it into Google and run a search. The results should offer a replacement to download, most likely from dll-files.com, which also offers a client promising a one-click fix.

Hopefully these suggestions should fix the most common errors until Firaxis can patch them permanently. Let us know if you’re still having problems!
