Civ VI end turn crash

[newbie2]

I have started playing two weeks ago, and of my 5 games, I only have been able to finish 3 of them. My last two games (both trying for domination victory, first japan now scythia), hit a point after turn 290 where I get an end of turn crash. No matter what I do, I can't get aound it. I reload an earlier autosave and do things differently, but no success.

I don't use any mods, and I have completed games that were longer than 290turns, so that cant be the issue. I have all the dlc, verified integrity. Also submitted my crash report to firaxis when prompted (dont know if it will help), but cant find them in the log folder

Savefiles attached

Would really appreciate it if someone can shed some light on this.

I've played about a dozen games, and yesterday was the first time I experienced the same thing you have. A game in the 200's, pressing the next turn button, resulting in a crash to desktop. Sure wish there was a solution to this.

Can you recall anything you did different from the other times it didn't crash


2K has replied to my ticket, but their solutions untill now (declare war, reinstall directx and run as administrator) havent done anything

No, nothing different.

I reloaded twenty turns earlier, did a few things different and managed to pass turn 295. only to get the same crash around turn 305.... managed to finish the game by reloading and rushing for capitals. Not fun. Basicly spent 3 h over these last 30 turns in total

Its pretty much unplayable at this point, why stat a game if you dont know if its gonna crash or whats causing it

Here's a similar thread, but no solution. https://forums.2k.com/showthread.php?4301282-Game-Crashes-On-Same-Turn

It happened to me every second game or so, sometimes I could circumvent the crash-turn by reloading an earlier savegame or nonsense war declaration, sometimes not. I hope
they can fix the problem at some point with all these crash reports 2k must have gotten, but right now I have decided to not start over again before the next patch, it's just too frustrating.

I fired up a regular game again, after playing some australia scenario and some other games. And sill the same problem. Everytime I go for domination, it just cashes around turn 290-310 and nothing that can be done about it.


Very very frustrating. I have on my own probably produced 100 crash reports, you would think that is enough information

Been playing Rome, around turn 223 now on quick mode where I am also going for a domination victory and same thing happend to me. I thought it might be due to excessive use of my RAM, so I tuned everything down to their lowest settings, but that didnt work either. I restarted, went to different saves, relinked my 2k account and nothing worked. I am at a loss to do now and I just want to finish my game.

Same thing has been happening to me anytime I go for a domination victory. Multiple Civs, multiple turn numbers, but always when I'm going for a domination victory. I've uninstalled/reinstalled and can't find any fix coming from 2k. I've probably sent 50 crash reports by myself. This seems to have been happening since launch; you'd think they'd have found a solution for this by now.

I've had the same problem around turn 450 during Japan's turn every time. Tried work arounds and nothing will work. This is my first play of Civ 6 so pretty disappointed.

Does anyone know any commonalities for this crash, i.e. Geforce GPU, Intel chip, Window 10, etc?

For me, I'm running a Geforce 970, Intel chip, Windows 10.

To me, these end turn crashes are probably a game coding error, not hardware or OS related.

I never had this problem before the Summer patch. Now this is happening to me right at turn 9, or at turn 2 if I don't move any units after game start.

I disabled mods, removed mods, reinstalled the game, verified files on Steam, everything you name it.

I will try a fresh install from scratch, but if that fails then I won't play until the November fall patch (the way things are moving).

EDIT: I think I found the problem. In the UserOptions config file, there's a GameHistoryLogLevel that should be 0. Changing it to 1 will cause the game to crash as it goes to turn 9.

Last two games I have run into this error. Once on turn 367 and now on 266. Really annoying as both games were just getting good. Starting to think I am just going to quit until they actually start fixing errors.
