Civilization – “A connection to Civilization VI could not be established.”

civilization-6

About 50% of the time, when I launch Civilization VI, I get an error that says the following:

A connection to Civilization VI could not be established. Civilization VI features may not be accessible.

After this error is displayed, I find that my My2K account is no longer marked as being linked, and I don't have access to my cloud saves.

My internet connection is wired, and all other games with online functionality I've played don't have any issues. I'm running on Windows 10 with higher-than-recommended specs for the game. Is there anything I can do to prevent this error from occurring?

For me, this problem was solved by adding an exclusion to Windows Defender.

For Windows 10:

Navigate to Windows Defender by searching for it in the start menu

Click the "Settings" gear in the top-right corner of the window

In the "Settings" panel, scroll down until you see a section named "Exclusions", and click the button that says "Add an Exclusion"

Click on the "Exclude a Folder" option

Select your Steam folder

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to do this in-game. However, much of the code isn't hidden, but is in easily modifiable .lua files, specifically WorldInput.lua.

This link contains several examples of how to add new hotkeys. For example the code snippet

if (uiKey == Keys.YOUR_KEY_HERE) then
    local unit:table = UI.GetHeadSelectedUnit();
    if unit ~= nil then
        UI.LookAtPlot( unit:GetX(), unit:GetY() );
    end
end

can be used to make the 'C' key center the view on the current unit, and

if (uiKey == Keys.W) then
    UI.SelectNextReadyUnit();
end

to cycle units.

In the end, the range of new hotkeys is determined by the functions accessible, and I don't see a list of functions yet. Luckily for you, there's already examples of what you want to add.
