Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

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 I'll just pirate the game instead of buying it

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

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

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

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

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year 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.

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
