Game Fails to Launch or Crashes on Startup

- Verify that your PC meets the game's minimum system requirements.

- Check for and install the latest graphics card drivers from the manufacturer's official website.

- Temporarily disable any third-party antivirus or security software, as they can sometimes block game files.

- Ensure the game files are intact by verifying integrity via the Steam, Epic Games, or other platform launcher.

- Run the game's executable (.exe) file as an administrator by right-clicking and selecting 'Run as administrator'.

Multiplayer Connection Issues and High Ping

- Ensure your internet connection is stable and other online services are working correctly.

- Forward the necessary ports for Civilization VI on your router to facilitate multiplayer connections.

- Check your firewall settings to confirm the game and its launcher are allowed through both inbound and outbound rules.

- In the game's multiplayer settings, try connecting to a different host or having another player host the session.

- For high ping, try connecting to game servers geographically closer to your location if the option is available.

In-Game Performance Problems: Low FPS and Stuttering

- Lower the in-game graphics settings, particularly resolution, shadow quality, and anti-aliasing.

- Update your graphics card drivers to the most recent stable version.

- Close other applications running in the background to free up system resources (RAM and CPU).

- Check for Windows updates and ensure your operating system is current, as updates often include performance improvements.

- If using a laptop, ensure it is plugged into a power source and set to a high-performance power plan.

Save File Corruption or Failure to Load

- Do not rely on a single save file; create multiple manual saves at different points in your campaign.

- Avoid saving the game during an auto-save operation to prevent file conflicts.

- If a save file fails to load, attempt to load an older, previously successful save.

- Check your local save game folder for file corruption and consider restoring from a cloud backup if your platform supports it.

- Ensure you have sufficient free disk space on the drive where the game saves are stored.

Game Mods Causing Instability or Conflicts

- Disable all mods and test the base game to confirm the issue is mod-related.

- Enable mods one by one to identify the specific mod causing the problem.

- Check the mod's official page or forum for compatibility notes, especially after a major game update.

- Ensure all enabled mods are updated to the latest version compatible with your current game build.

- Be cautious of mods that heavily alter core game files, as these are more likely to cause conflicts.

Audio Glitches, Missing Sound, or Dialogue Not Playing

- In the game's audio settings, try switching between different audio output devices.

- Verify the game's audio files via your platform's 'Verify Integrity of Game Files' option.

- Update your audio drivers, especially if you are using dedicated sound card hardware.

- Check the Windows Sound settings to ensure the correct playback device is selected and the volume is not muted.

- Test the in-game audio with different settings, such as disabling environmental audio or changing the audio quality.

Veelvoorkomende probleme en aanbevelings

- Die spel begin nie of crash dadelik: Kyk of jou rekenaar aan die minimum vereistes voldoen, werk jou grafiese kaart se drywers op, en probeer die spel as administrateur uitvoer.

- Probleme met aanlyn of multiplayer: Bevestig jou internet is stabiel, stel die nodige poorte op jou router oop, en kyk of jou firewall die spel toelaat.

- Stadige prestasie of lag: Verminder die grafiese instellings binne die spel, maak ander programme toe wat in die agtergrond loop, en werk jou bedryfstelsel op.

- Mods wat probleme veroorsaak: Skakel alle mods af om die oorsaak te vind, aktiveer hulle een vir een om die stokerige mod te identifiseer, en maak seker al jou mods is op datum met die spel se weergawe.

- Geluid foute of geen klank nie: Probeer 'n ander klankuitvoertoestel in die spel se instellings, verifieer die spel se lêers vir korrupte klanklêers, en werk jou klankkaart se drywers op.
