Since I got Civ 6 on launch I have been plagued with crashes mid-late game and multiplayer. I've tried everything, put in a ticket, fiddled with a ton of stuff, uninstalled/reinstalled, uninstalled graphics driver, reinstalled graphics driver, but nothing I did seemed to fix the problem... So I started fiddling with things mostly beyond my understanding and I might have blindly fallen into a fix (At least it fixed it for me).

I have an Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5 GHz, 32 gig ram. In the end I thought it had to do something with my processor (either it is faulty or bad optimization), so I did the following:

Went to start menu, typed msconfig, went to boot, then went to advanced options, clicked the "Number of Processors" box. Now originally my machine had 8 processors, I moved it down to 6 (only using 3/4th of the cores of my cpu). Restart the machine.

I am sure this slows down your machine but I haven't noticed a significant difference for myself yet. My game does not crash anymore. Now as I stated before all this stuff is beyond my rudimentary understanding and the only reason I am sharing this is I hope this helps someone else out as it frustrated the hell out of me. You can always uncheck the box in ms config and allow your cpu to run at max capacity later.
 
Thanks man! Have the same cpu and ram as you and searched for a solutions for weeks! Would never have thought of that. Now I have a week off and be ready to celebrate Gathering storm. Can't tell how happy I'm.

Once again: Thank you for this weird solution! It works.
