I've tried bootcamp, and that is fine, but you have to boot specifically into Windows. I haven't tried it in a VM, maybe someday. I don't play a whole lot, maybe once a week on average. It just sucks being behind on the new features of the game.
Any news on the Fall Update?

VM and Parallels don’t support Civ VI because of DirectX. I’ve tried. Now we have Nvidia’s GeForce Now cloud gaming which is in Beta until March 2018, at least it used to say that two weeks ago in their website, but they took it out. It’s really cool if you have fast internet service.

A short update from Aspyr:

I'm super curious on what the technical problems they've had specifically on mac and linux. Sounds like some important architecture broke down in regards to cross platform.

Aspyr just made Civ VI available on iPad. I think that is pretty great regardless of what is going on with MacOS. I never thought it would make it there, to be honest.
Once you download it, It gives you a 60 turns for free and then you have to buy the game. It is valued at $59.99, but it will be 50% off until January 4, 2018. I won't pay for it again, but it would be such a gesture to reestablish confidence and loyalty if they would give us access to the game for free or at the very least a 75% discount.

If an iPad can play Civ VI, then it would be great if it were on the Nintendo Switch as well.

Agreed. I remember playing Civ Rev twice after purchase. Played it on the highest difficulty and beat it easily twice, never opened it again.
This is not Civ Rev. It's Civilication VI. And a touch-based interface is better for Civ than a mouse and keyboard.

I bought it. It works surprising well on my 2017 9.7" iPad and It's just the thing for those long chemotherapy sessions. Not sure if I would have spent $60, but it's on sale now at $30, so I couldn't resist.

I have definitely started using bootcamp and am switching back to PC once my current mac breaks down. FWIW, Bootcamp is surprisingly easy to set up (I am NOT a tech person by any stretch of the imagination) though you need to buy Windows (like Windows 7 for 30 bucks or something). Bootcamp works surprisingly well.
They said TOMORROW!!!!
I'm very happy to read this (and Blair's posts in general, usually).
But this will also mean that we will have to wait for R&F quite long, if they want to ship that with x-platform.

Unfortunately, cross platform continues to have game breaking bugs. We are prepping an official response, but the short answer is we still have significant de-syncs with cross platform playWe are shifting focus to get the DLC and patch out asap, and will dive back into xplat with Rise and Fall

I wrote in Steam civ 6 MAC saying “Blair, just to re-confirm what you wrote. You mentioned “will dive back into xplat with Rise and Fall”. Does it mean, Rise and Fall will be released first and thereafter continue to work on xplat or Rise and Fall will be released after solving the xplat problem. Hope they will release the RISE and FALL first and then continue to work on xplat”. He says this is spam. He is a stupid fellow who is coward to give a honest answer. But instead choose to say my query is a spam.

I thought his answer was quite clear. We get R&F first and xplat later (or never).

His answer could also be interpreted they will work with Rise and Fall, which may mean that Rise and Fall will be released once xplat is workable. Of course, if Rise and Fall comes first, I will be more than happy. But his answer was not very clear. Steam Civ 6 MAC discussion group is not very forthcoming with the progress. Mostly, they choose to keep silent. Even if Rise and Fall were to come first, they are hesitant to provide an estimate time of release. It is similar to the DLC (Khmer and Indon) which was released in last Oct for PC but MAC version is delayed so Long. Will it be the same case for Rise and Fall.
If they try to get xplat working with the release of rise and fall for mac, I don't think we'll see it in February. There is a possibility that it will take much, much longer. If they release the add-on first, without xplat, I think 2-3 weeks after windows release is realistic (just like it was with the first 4 DLC and the base game).

So Fall update expected sometime today then? Or wishful thinking? Not able to check Steam atm but that would be awesome to be able to play a decent game without booting into Windows.
I've been checking off and on since this morning, nothing yet on my system.
