Civ 6 - Gathering Storm

[oakdragon]

I find it interesting that with the recent Antarctic patch, the version on the launch window says 1.2.1. Why change now and to that? They didn't change it when GS came out. I believe they changed it from 1.1.x to 1.2.0 when Rise & Fall came out. Why not a 1.3.0 when GS came out? It should be 1.3.1 with this patch. It is really not a big deal, of course, but just wondering.

My wild-ass guess would be that those updates only relate to changes to the launcher app itself, not to Civ.

That makes sense.

The versions on the launcher refers to the app bundle version. It's primarily due to requirement for the App Store, but it's maintained on Steam for consistency. Base release was 1.0.0, Rise and Fall was 1.1.0, and Gathering Storm was 1.2.0. Since this is the first patch to Gathering Storm, it's now 1.2.1.

The version number on the main menu is the game version, and matches the PC version number as long as the builds are in sync.

@AspyrRyan, thank you for taking the time to explain such trivial matter. It is much appreciated, however.

You say trivial, but forgetting to update that version number is a quick way to fail Apple submission for the App Store.

Of course, haha, I hadn't thought about that. Hopefully, it hasn't happened too often and it won't happen in the future.

Does anyone know when they will fix cross platform?

Unfortunately, only Aspyr and 2K knows. @AspyrRyan confirmed the issue, but nothing has been said and no one has responded when a few people asked here and on Steam as to when it would be fixed.

 

[Ondolindë]

AspyrBlair responded on Steam that the hot fix is coming tomorrow morning.

Thank god, I've got a cloud game that's been stuck on my turn for six days now because of the stupid patch, everyone probably wants to murder me and I don't blame them.

This week has been so frustrating. I was impressed with Aspyr and everyone for finally doing the Mac/Linux releases properly with Gathering Storm, and was so let down by this patch screw-up. Any word on what happened?

Mine just updated, 58.2MB update. Game launcher v1.2.2, Game version 1.0.0.317(171560)Metal.

 

[Ferocitus]

Updated the game and launcher.
CTD around turn 50 on 16Gb RAM, Nvidia GTX 1070 computer under Linux Mint.
No mods.
Another poor effort from Aspyr following an even more abysmal bug-ridden release by Firaxis.

@Ferocitus, is it me or the amount of bugs in GS and patch 1 are considerably more than in any other release?

Dunno. Civ 5 was such an appalling mess on release I don't believe that could ever be beaten.
