Civilization VII no longer runs - DRM issue?

[Zibi1981]

Anyone is experience this issues when trying to launch the Civ VII Founders Edition? It used to run just couple hours ago, and now cannot be launched. I've bought the game on Epic Games store.

Anyone is experience this issues when trying to launch the Civ VII Founders Edition? It used to run just couple hours ago, and now cannot be launched. I've bought the game on Epic Games store.

The anti-piracy component of this game allows 5 new installs per 24h.

If you did not do any new installs then the epic store version of the game somehow thinks that every new start of your game is new install. This I cannot help with as I do not use epic store or know much about it.

If you have installed/uninstalled the game same or different computer many times during last 24h. Just wait a bit.

You were probably right - in my case I did two installations: the first one under Linux and Heroic Games Launcher, and the second one under Windows 11 and Epic Games application but both on the same computer. Now everything seems to work as it should be.
