[NFP] Frontier Pass Switch Error

[Txomin]

Purchased the Frontier Pass on the switch eshop and the game registers the content as being downloaded and activated but trying to actually start a game with either of the new leaders kicks me out to the main menu with the following error:
"There was an error starting the game. We recommend disabling any mods and trying again. Error- One or more mods failed to load content."
Obviously I don't have mods on my switch version of civ 6!
Whats more I can't load my existing saves either.
Really disappointing for someone hoping to play this tonight (and who has a mac which doesn't have the pass available for it yet)
If you're planning to get the switch dlc wait for a patch

same here even though I haven't even brought the pass. Can't even start the game. I think it is more to do with Maya/Grand Colombia patch than frontier Pass.

Have you tried to disable dlc's?
Maybe we can figure out what is causing it.

Restarted the console?

I tried everything and still got the same message... and Like I said before... I DIDN'T EVEN BOUGHT THE PASS YET! ONLY UPDATED MY GAME!
2k is so useless with Switch version- first touch screen bug and now this! This bug makes touch screen world congress bug look cute by comparison!

Having the same problem here. My friend came over to play multiplayer and now we cannot load our game after the patch (We were on turn 906). We have endured constant crashing with The switch version and contacted 2k-support hoping for a patch To fix it and now this. We also had the bug where the game crashes when trying to save and had to start again after almost 1000 turns. And now the game is literally unplayable on switch. So disappointed.

Once again Aspyr released an untested release that completely breaks the software. Do they even have a QA team? This has happened multiple times. So frustrating.

It apparently works in PLAIN VANILLA VERSION ( as in no Rise and fall and Gathering storm enabled) HOWEVER THAT DOES NOT HELP WITH MAYA AND GRAN COLOMBIA AS THEY REQUIRE AT LEAST RISE AND FALL TO WORK. so DO NOT buy Switch version of the frontier pass or Maya/grand Colombia till this bug is fixed.

Aspyr did the work here. Its sad that this game has been riddled with problems.
But I am sure hotfix will arrive soon.

hopefully, it comes within 2 weeks... but considering how long touch screen bug was left untouched.... I am not setting my hope too high.

They did make quick fix right after this game was released, took maybe three days. If you are fine with two weeks, I am pretty certain they will make it happen. This is so game breaking, news spread fast. But we never know until its done, sure.

I won't buy the switch pass until it is fixed... hopefully, other switch owners would do the same!
i repeat AGAIN! DO NOT BUY SWITCH VERSION OF PASS TILL THIS GETS FIXED!!!!!!!!

Same here. Didn't they even start the game before releasing it?

 

[Txomin]

Aspyr has a poor track record with civ releases I hope a fix is put out soon but who knows

 

[doolar]

I logged a ticket with Aspyr now too.

I logged a ticket with Aspyr now too.

I’m sorry I’m kind of slow on computers, where do you go to log a ticket? Thank you

 

[doolar]

On Aspyr's and/or 2K's webpages. Find "support" and report the issue.

I saw on Twitter just now that 2K at least knows about the issue and are working on a patch. So hopefully it wont be too long.

Must be nice to be able to buy the pass, at least /s

I just got a patch - used the update software button and there it was. Downloading now...

I'm a Mac gamer too, but I've moved to gaming on the Switch almost entirely. So I feel for you... Last time I played Civ on my Mac there were still a number of issues (memory leaks, Metal not working). Let's hope they fix that too, someday.

And I can confirm - it is a new version of the DLC, not a patch per se, makes Switch Civ great again!

??? What does it mean? Do I have to buy the pass in order to fix this bug?

 

[Txomin]

Booted up the game after updating, seems to actually load this time
Shame that it didn't work at release but at least a patch was made quickly
