Update 1.2.4 - Patch 1 is rolling out now to players on Steam and Epic! This patch improves game setup and quality-of-life features, making Age Transitions and other game settings easier to manage across campaigns, and addresses several player-reported issues. This patch will be coming to additional platforms with the next Civilization VII update.

Patch Notes

  • Made several improvements to game setup, including:

      • Dev Note: No more restarting because you forgot to change your difficulty again!
    • Difficulty Advanced Options settings are always visible & dynamically update to Custom when you change individual settings.
  • Addressed a reported issue that prevented mouse clicks from registering as expected.
  • The debug menu can now be accessed in single-player when debug panels are enabled and the keybind is used.
  • Addressed a reported issue that could occur when loading crossplay saves.
  • Addressed a reported issue when repeatedly opening and closing the Resource Screen.
  • Addressed a reported issue where Deluxe Cosmetics were not properly granted to players on the Epic Games Store.
