How do you manually download/install patches?

[creolejazz]

Hi. Fairly new to Civilization and sorry for the newb question. I just noticed my in-game settings for Auto Download Updates (or something like that) has not been enabled. So, how do I manually download/install a patch (such as the recent "June update"? And, once I enable the Auto Download, how do I check to see if the latest patch has been installed? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Assuming you're using Steam, if you have automatic downloads turned off, you can trigger the download if you click Play. There is a tab and the bottom of the window labeled "Downloads" which you can click on to observe the progress of the download; it will read "1 of 1 complete" when the download is finished.

Or, you can just turn automatic downloads back on by checking the box.

Thanks for the response. Assuming Auto Downloads is enabled, how do you check to be sure you're up to date with the latest patch? Is there a "view version" or "view patch update history" or something? Thanks again.

At the bottom left of the main menu is the version number. You can check this post (https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/version-history-with-version-numbers.619811/#post-14808650) to confirm you are up to date.

I don't think Steam will let you play if you're not on the latest version.

iirc you can play in offline mode regardless of version. *but you should really be updated to latest.
