Update 1.4.2 Hotfix - August 13, 2026

We're rolling out a hotfix to address a handful of community-reported issues. Thanks for your ongoing feedback, Civ players.

P.S. We know you're eager for our next big drop! The team is currently heads-down on an update coming in September, but we didn't want to hold back these stability fixes while you wait. Stay tuned for more updates!

A note for Switch players: This update will be coming at a later date. Thank you for hanging in with us while we work to get these updates through Nintendo submission requirements! Until then, Crossplay Multiplayer with players running the latest hotfix release on other platforms will be unavailable, but Steam players can still use the console-compatible-switch beta branch to play Crossplay Multiplayer with Switch players (see how to access here).

• Addressed a multiplayer issue where one player unreadying their turn would automatically unready all other players.
• Selecting Dai Viet during an Age Transition no longer incorrectly changes your civilization to your leader's Historical Apex civ.
• Silla's Sangdaedeung Unique Merchant Unit no longer grants excessive Gold when used after loading a save.

If you’re still running into issues after this patch, please let us know through our support portal.
