Update 1.5.0 Hotfix - September 30, 2026

Today’s hotfix is focused on stability and performance following our recent Update 1.5.0. Thanks for your ongoing feedback, Civ players!

A note for Switch / Switch 2 players: This hotfix will be coming at a later date; thanks for your patience while we get this through additional Nintendo submission requirements. In the meantime, the current console-compatible Switch version remains available with full crossplay support with Steam (instructions on how to access here).

• Implemented stability and crash fixes, most notably in late-game Modern Age.
• Addressed lag that could occur when using mouse and keyboard inputs simultaneously.
• Addressed reported issues of missing Treasure Resources in the Exploration Age and missing Factory Resources in the Modern Age.

• Dev Note: Previously, we didn't require all Treasure or Factory Resources to spawn in the random selection of age resources, but now we do. This should lead to a more consistent and potentially less frustrating experience when pursuing certain Triumphs or Victories.

Addressed several minor issues with Resources on True Start Location Earth map (goodbye, mysterious Ocean Cocoa!).

Addressed softlocks that could prevent turn advancement in multiplayer games.

Elizabeth I's "The Annals" Memento now properly grants a Great Work slot to Unique Gold Buildings acquired through Syncretism.

Addressed an issue where incorrect "Out Of Range" warnings appeared in the Trade Lens when playing as Elizabeth I.

\[Controller] Addressed focus issues when swapping between a Settler and a Settlement’s Production Menu after enabling the Radial Ruler Map Decoration.
