Firaxis DirectX12 Civ 6 issues

LastLivingSouls · June 15, 2020

Is anyone else having trouble with DirectX12 running Civ 6? Every time I try it, the game will eventually crash (either in game, or right after closing) and I'll get a Firaxis Crash Reporter. Eventually (in the next 5 minutes or so), my CPU will slow down and start to crash. If i go into Task Manager performance, the GPU usage will just say "-1%". Some menus on the computer will still function, but eventually I have to just power button hard reset to restart (I can't use Windows 10 to shut down).

This problem completely goes away if i simply play on DirectX11, but I'm still wondering what the issue is here. All drivers are updated.

What GPU are you running? My GTX 780 has no issues with Civ 6 DX12.
