Civilization 7 patch 1.0.1 solves some negative feedback in advanced access

Civilization 7 developer Firaxis has released patch 1.0.1 in time after the full release of the strategy game, and has previously had a rating on Steam with “hybrid” user comments.

Firaxis is working to address various community complaints, most of which revolve around the user interface, lack of the diversity of maps, and the feeling of game launching, without many key features, and fans are already expecting many of them.

In an interview with IGN before the release of its third-quarter financial results, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick admits Civilization 7 has received negative comments from news and playersbut insists that the “traditional civic audience” will grow and call the early performances of Civilization 7 “very encouraging.”

Now that Civilization 7 is available to everyone, not just those willing to pay for premium access, Firaxis has released patch 2 for PC/Mac/Linux/Steam Deck only. In an article about steamFiraxis said it was “the first in a series of upcoming patches” to address feedback from advanced access. The complete patch description is below.

It is worth noting that Firaxis has temporarily disabled the “speed up” update of the cross-game multiplayer game for the PC version. This means that developers sometimes deploy patches to their PC at a different “tempo” than the console, which actually includes patch 1.0.1. This won't make Firaxis clear on console players that try to play cross-platform games with other console players, or on PC-PC multiplayer games.

• Notes on cross-game multiplayer: To speed up updates to the PC experience, we sometimes deploy patches to the PC at a different pace than the one on the console, including today’s patch 1.0.1. As a result, cross-play between the PC player and the console player is temporarily disabled. This won't work on console players trying to play cross-platform with other console players, nor will it affect PC to PC multiplayer.
