‘Civilization VI’ Is Unplayable on iOS 17.4 and Later, No ETA On When It Will Be Fixed – TouchArcade Leave a comment
Ever because it launched on cell Aspyr Media has been slowly releasing new DLC and updates for Civilization VI (Free) on iOS and Android. The latest content material updates have been for the Chief Go whereas we’ve seen minor bug repair updates a number of months in the past. Ever since iOS 17.4 hit, the sport has not been playable on iOS or iPadOS units operating it or 17.4.1. I hadn’t performed the sport on cell in any respect since updating, so was not conscious of this. Due to a tip from a reader over the weekend, I’ve been wanting into this and have tried launching the sport on all units I’ve at house. Throughout 4 totally different iPhones and three iPads, the sport doesn’t allow you to play anymore. It offers you an error on launching, and stays on the splash display screen proven under. I attempted reinstalling it and had no luck. Aspyr confirmed that it’s conscious of this over a month in the past, however there is no such thing as a ETA on a repair.
Video games and apps breaking on newer iOS variations isn’t new, however when you’ve a recreation like Civilization VI that prices extra to get the DLC and recreation (outdoors gross sales) on cell than different platforms, you count on some degree of assist. As of this writing, I don’t suggest shopping for the sport on iOS till that is mounted. Who is aware of how lengthy it can take as we nonetheless don’t even have updates to enhance the visuals for iPads from years in the past, not to mention the present ones. In case you’ve not performed it but, learn our preliminary iPad evaluate right here and my up to date evaluate with expansions and extra right here based mostly on how the sport was when it nonetheless labored on updated iOS variations then. I additionally reviewed the New Frontier Go content material and the state of the sport in 2021 on iOS right here. You’ll be able to check out Civilization VI free of charge on the App Retailer for iOS right here, and I like to recommend checking it once more when both iOS or the sport get up to date to ensure it really works earlier than shopping for. I’ve reached out to Aspyr to test in on the standing of the repair, and can replace this information story if we hear again.
