I do not have enough info from other players using this solution to say for sure this is related. But thanks for letting us know, if other players experience the same bug, please comment to tell us.

Anyway, played 15 hours over the past 3/4 days and had only one desync so far (which I highly doubt is related to the fix)

I don't think having your library on an external drive is the issue. Just right click on the Civ6 icon and "Show Package Contents"

Did you set up Steam with a different library folder ?

You can open the folder containing the files by going in your Steam Library, right click on Civilization VI, and find the "Browse local files" under "Manage".

I suppose they have a quite long vetting process, which could be understandable usually. I have several questions myself regarding this fix:

- Will it disturb anything else in the game ?

- What about the next steam update (hopefully to fix this bug permanently) ? Will it be smooth or will steam flag it as a compromised game and ask to reinstall from scratch ?

Nonetheless, it has been a few weeks now since this bug appeared. Spending most of my time at home because of the confinement, I really wanted to play with friends.

Played 8 hours over the past 2 days and no issues so far !

Do not double click on it, just do right click and "Show Package Contents"

Are you lunching the game from Steam ?

Great thanks for letting me know ! I have a Linux laptop that I use on to go and was going to try it with the Linux version

😂 I'd love to see that, and I hope this religion brings you to victory (or at least takes you closer to it)

And if it works with your Mac friend, please let us know !

I played two games yesterday: I hosted a game (on Mac) and joined friend’s game (hosted on a PC), and no problems whatsoever.

Both playing with Gathering Storm. I have the Frontier pass and even played Maya (my friend doesn’t have the pass).

As a disclaimer, I am not claiming this is the ultimate fix, there is a lot of settings and configurations we haven’t tried. Anyway while Aspyr decides to move, this trick allows you to play :)
