Game Frequently Crashes

[Albertan Civfanatic]

I have a pretty high end computer, though I don't think that matters much. The game frequently crashes on me. Does anyone else have this problem?

Its rarely crashed for me ever. Mid tier PC. I've seen lots of negative reviews spread out across months stating their game keeps crashing, no idea what causes it.

 

[Sagax]

Low tier PC here, was crashing a decent amount in the early launch days, but no more crashes as of CotW.

I think what helped my case was tinkering with upscaling and graphical settings to get the right combination. Also, switch from Vulcan to DirectX, even though in the early days the former was more stable for my specs.

Same here - many more crashes than 1.3.0 (MBP-M2). Same phenotype as before though - unpredictable sudden freeze requiring forced quit. No effect on other running programs.

I've got no crash with Civ VII.
(But 3 for Ara during the free week-end, and I tell you, their crash dumb files are huge, over 1 Gb each)

Are you experiencing crashes or freezes?

If it's a freeze, try giving it 5-6 mins to resolve itself. If it does, it's not a crash, and I remember disabling IPv6 in connection settings helped me.

I had my first ever crash on 1.3.1. Happened booting the game.

My crashing experiences on Civ 7 were mostly because of the mods. This time on ver 1.3.1, however, the game seems crashed during the booting (only black screen and cursor for more than 10 min).

My (MacOS) "crashes" have always been "freezes", but no amount of waiting helped until I force-quit. Eliminating mods had no effect.
The freezes tend to occur in the middle of turns where there is a lot of management needed, so doubly frustrating because of the need to redo everything, but (to me) indicative of some poor memory management issues.

I had crashes with early patches during intro videos, so I made a habit of skipping them soon after they start. With that I stopped getting crashes and honestly I don't know if 1.3.1 still have them.

If you're running any mods try disabling them all and seeing if the situation improves. I was suffering from frequent crashes until I determined that it was a mod. I am not exactly sure which mod it was but it was definitely a mod causing frequent crashes for me.

That may be it. Thx!

I play a highly modded version and 1.3.1 crashed a lot until I spent a couple days walking through the mods to test which will and won't crash at start up or whatever ... I have about 7 or 8 turned off or unsubscribed completely because of these crashes. Even still, it's crashed 3 times in the past 24hrs, so it doesn't like at least one other thing ...

 

[cbum]

The 2 mods I use don't affect the freezing. I'm sure there are mods that do, but it's not the whole story, at least on my Mac.

 

[leonidwinter]

It seems more crash happen in the modern era of my game.
It happens averagely every 5-8 turns with bug reporting.

Yes after the new Seas update it has been crashing for me all the time. I basically have quit playing and essentially intend to never go back.
