I tried opening all the autosaves too, I can't do that either.

I'll take a look, thanks!

It looks like there was a new version for Mac released recently (Nov 2019) that has changed the build to 180925 (the version string is 1.0.3.279 (180925)), which breaks most of the logic in this app. This is because the savegame format changes between Civ V versions, and the only reliable way of tracking this that I've found is the build number. However, this build number seems to be way out of order; the latest build version I have in my notes is build 403694, which is from 2014.

Searching the web it seems that apparently it's also broken cross-platform multiplayer games:

Could you check and see if there are any updates for Civ V (via Steam or however you play the game)? If so, please reopen the save in the latest version, save it to a new file, and try again.

If that doesn't work I think I might be able to hardcode a workaround for this build since 180925 is thankfully a really old build number (https://github.com/bmaupin/js-civ5save/blob/master/wiki/format.md#builds-and-versions).

Although I don't recommend it, if you're not using 10.15 (Catalina) then another possible workaround would be to install the legacy version of Civilization V by following the last step on this page:

https://support.2k.com/hc/articles/360011935293-Questions-Fr%C3%A9quemment-Pos%C3%A9es-sur-le-lancement-de-Civilization

And do the same thing (open the save and create a new one from it and try again).

Thanks for the fast feedback, I've checked Steam and I am running the most up to date version of the game. I'm also running Catalina so I might be stuck on my current build, Catalina has been a disaster ever since I upgraded the os x. It's not that big of a deal, I guess I can just start a new game. My PC friends are gonna frustrated when they find out cross-platform play is botched though, hopefully, that will be fixed soon. At least you know about the issue now, so you can upgrade your app if you want :)

Thank you again for your help

From what little I've seen about this online, I don't get the sense that Aspyr (the developer of the Mac/Linux versions) is going to fix this:

We do our best to provide the best gameplay experience on all platforms and given the option between retiring Sid Meier’s Civilization V on Mac or updating the game to 64-bit while disabling crossplay, we opted for the latter

https://steamcommunity.com/app/8930/discussions/1/1661194916748974393/?ctp=5

So I'll try to go ahead and hardcode a workaround for this. I'll hopefully have it ready in the next day or two.

Thanks!

I just submitted a fix; let me know if you still have problems. Thanks!
