I hope it's better than Civ 6.

I paid 20USD for CIV6 for Android when it first came out. I really enjoyed it until I got on my first flight.

After switching to Spotify and back to the game, it turned off my game and won't let me play anymore.

I ended up hacking it and now I can play it offline.

They better not make the same mistake twice.

Or else what

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Or else I'll just pirate the game instead of buying it

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

But you already bought it, it'd be you making the same mistake twice

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm talking about Civ VII. It's not out yet.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

I'm your original scenario, you bought the game, then learned it sucked, then modified/pirated.

They got your money.

If you apply the same pattern to the upcoming game, you'll still have bought it.

Edit So there's no "or else" from the company perspective.

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

I understand your point.

Fool me once. Shame on you. Fool me twice. Shame on me.

If they require an internet connection for CIV VII, I'll just pirate it and skip the extra work to get a functional game.

How did you Hack it?

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

Funny you asked. I just created some directions on how to do this.

Download this APK and install it. Password is 12345 https://www.mediafire.com/file/2hseavw1aq1relz/CIVVI_pass_is

Then download ONLY the obb file(the last link, it's almost 4gb). It's the last link. Don't download the first 2 links unless you want the Russian version of this game. https://apkaward.com/civilization-vi-mod-free-android-apk

1 -- download and install the apk

2 --open it and close it so it can make an obb folder

3 -- download obb file and extract it and folder like download or something

4 -- you should now have have 2 files both 2 gb named main and patch

5 -- install FV file explorer from store and open it, on the right tab is a robot logo. Pick the obb.

6 -- move the 2 ( 2gb )obb files in to Android/obb/com.aspyr.civvi or something it will be there .

7 --open the game and be patient first boot might take a long mine took 10 mins
