[LP] Leader Pass Pack 1: Great Negotiators (Nov. 2022) - Patch Notes Discussion

Firaxis has said the system is going through all accounts and it will take time for them all to be flagged as eligible.
If I was at home doing nothing I might have been majorly disappointed but luckily I'm visiting family for Thanksgiving break so I'm happy to wait...having said that...I'd like to get away from family at some point this week..
 
Looks like I missed all the fun. I got a 229 MB download which gave me JC but didn't remove my DLCs, as far as I can see. Still nothing about the new leaders. For a moment I thought I had to pay 20€ to get them, which was totally not going to happen with the content added so far, but I guess if I get them for free, I might try them at some point.

This is all I got. I only got the small download. I'll keep steam open and see what happens. edit: and I already restarted steam and my computer

Yeah same here... I waited before downloading the update because of the hubbub... did so an hour ago, and only the 229 MB update went through... seems like they've deactivated the 5G patch for the moment...

Game starts but no ceasar and no leader pack for the moment...

Still better situation than most...

Hi there, thank you for contacting Aspyr Support.

Apologies for any frustration this is causing. We've received reports of other players experiencing this issue as well and have found success through the workarounds mentioned below:

  • verifying your game files
-OR-
  • reinstalling Civilization VI.

If you continue to experience this issue after reinstalling, please let us know!

Thank you,
Aspyr Support

Uninstalled and reinstalled my game, and now I have Julius Caesar. Negotiators are still missing from my game.
 
but the classical AI science is still set to 150 unfortunately...maybe that's fixed in the rollout of the actual Great Negotiators that I haven't received yet.

If this isn't fixed after 18 months of us finding this bug, I truly may never play this game or any future version of Civ again. :sad: I mean it. It's simply disrespectful of the player base, especially those who cannot mod games (ala console users).

This DLC should be named "Thanos"

More like "Theranos" :lol:

Wait, why are you getting support from Aspyr? I thought they were only managing consoles and that they weren't getting these updates?
 
Leaders. Hah. Love the leader abilities. Yes, all pretty straightforward implementations, but that’s ok. There’s enough Kupes and Lady Six Sky in the game.

I really like Lincoln’s Leader Ability mechanically. But I think linking his legacy to Plantation Improvements is a bit … um, misconceived? Like I get what they’re trying to get at. I’m not sure what would have made more sense historically / thematically, and I do think it’s totally fine in terms of gameplay, but yeah, just doesn’t quite “click” for me. Not offensive or anything, just not quite right.

Update / Patch. Look, FXS have been pretty clear we’re just getting Leaders and Personas. And, hey, it’s all free, and includes fan fav / classic leaders. So it’s genuinely pretty amazing. But you can really see in this thread and elsewhere that the lack of a patch addressing bugs and game balance, and perhaps the lack of a bit of actual game content, is really hurting the good will this free pass will generate.

Which makes sense, right? Because while some fans are really excited about Leaders and Civ, others aren’t and or are much more interested in new gameplay and mechanics, and or balance, and or problems and bugs.

Hopefully Firaxis might regroup and rethink a little bit - there’s plenty of opportunities over the next few months to look at an update or a bit of additional content. And maybe some people will also get a bit more comfortable with this being so heavily focused on Leaders and Personas not other things.

Roll out. Looks like roll out has been a shambles, which is probably making the lack of a big fix / balance update etc a bit more frustrating on top of that.

Oh well. It’ll sort itself out. Just seems to be how these things go these days. I mean seriously, they even patch movies and streaming shows after release these days. Firaxis seem to be working through it. Good luck guys!
 
Can someone verify that Lincoln still receives the base game +2 Amenities for an IZ when playing GS? That modifier should be removed when playing GS, but when I ran a test I still received them.

Looks like it's still adding 2 amenities

My reading of this is that it isn't a bug, given they fixed other issues, they must think this is a good idea!

My AI Sensible Science Mod is currently uploading :)

1. That's a very, very, very unlikely fact. That basically means they're going to add a bunch MORE bugs, and not fix them.
2. They've already fixed the bugs they've introduced, so no.
3. It's kind of a ridiculous move, and borderline illegal, to damage other people's property by sending out deleterious software. They aren't terrorists.
