Civilization – losing the game when I capture a city

civilization-6

I was playing a single player game of civ 6 on Prince, and as soon as I captured my first city, the Defeat screen came up. As far as I could tell, nobody was anywhere close to any of the victory conditions.

If I re-load the game, I dont lose if I dont capture the city, but as soon as I do, I lose.

What am I missing that Im not allowed to capture someone elses city?

Just happened to me too.

In my case, I triggered a religious victory for another player.

To explain, a religious victory requires all other civilizations to have more than 50% of your religion. Everyone had been "converted" except this last civilization. When I took their last city, the condition that all civilizations be "converted" came true.

Civilization – The game freezes sometimes when I Exit To Desktop. How to regain control

The game crashes when exiting to desktop while in a game. Here are a couple of methods.

Method 1: Exit to the main menu instead of quitting to desktop from a running game.

Method 2: If Stuck!

Here is a method to force the civilization game to close by ending its process.

(Bring up task manager)    
Press CONTROL-SHIFT-ESC 
OR
CONTROL-ALT-DEL and then select it from the list.

You may need to click "More Details" at the bottom if that is showing as an option.
Goto details tab
Find process CivilizationVI.exe
Right click, End Process

Perhaps to be done now as it will help later as I have had the task manager appear under the game (dumb).

Bring up the task manager.

Under options menu, enable ALWAYS ON TOP

Once you have done this once or twice or know how to use the task manager, it will become second nature.

Civilization – How to disable startup developer game logos when loading the game

Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/civ/comments/58xfjx/psa_civ_vi_logo_skip/

You cannot remove the logo movie or the game will hang while loading. You can substitute the file with a very short movie file. Wiperight is basically a short graphic movie file. Here is a actual blank file I am using. http://www.geocities.ws/xbdvdrg/blank.zip

Navigate to you game folder

steamapps\Common\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Base\Platforms\Windows\Movies

Backup logos.bk2 as logos.BAK (note, the reddit contains a link to an actual blank movie file)

Copy WipeRight.bik as logos.bk2 (Note the extension change)

Bonus

The same reddit mentions "The same minihack can be used to speed up diplomacy.". "There are still some fade-out delays at times, such as when a leader gives you his introduction after the first meeting but it will save some delays."

I have performed this change too but not noticed any immediate time saving.

After performing the same backup and replace of the file LeaderScreen_WashIn_Mask.bik, the transition delay when talking to leaders is sped up.
