tried a lot of things to solve that, but think it has something to do with my factory OC Hardware ...
OC isn't easy to downclock , would have to install own programs for that

GTX 980TI OC, i7-6700K 4.5 Ghz OC, DDR 4 3200 16 GB OC
Soundblaster Z , M2 SSD Samsung Pro 512 GB

- newest graphic card drivers (new install option) and reinstalled all DX/VC++ even soundcard
- reduced Midi to 44Khz (also had that problem with high pitched music)
- forced DSL off
- borderless windows mode
- lowest settings to highest settings , but no difference in CTD and performance :)
- no battle and movement animations
- windows defender exception for CIV VI, all directories (had that problem that loading needed 2-3min)
- turned off music
- without mods and with mods (Maps)

Sometimes I could play 60 min or even 180 min , but it always just CTD without error message ..
very seldom it crashes the whole PC and the soundcard hangs with a high pitch.

Maybe could turn off the soundcard in the ini files from Civ VI ...

SO ANYONE HAS A special registry hack or setting, which could help ?
Thanks

Your issue would seem to be linked to a memory leak of some kind. I doubt it's related to the overclocked hardware, although it does crop up now and then. It could be the audio drivers too though, which would explain the occasional bluescreen (leak causing a protected space to be addressed) as well.

You could try disabling game audio entirely by browing to:

..\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI

and then opening:

AppOptions.txt

and changing:

EnableAudio 1

to:

EnableAudio 0
