Civ 6 Patch Reddit: 'Retrieving Host Information' Screen Issue

As many players have reported on Twitter and Civilization VI's official subreddit page, a common issue has been plaguing gamers who are trying to play the game with their friends online. The problem is related to the 'retrieving host information' screen that appears while attempting to connect to multiplayer services.

Numerous threads on the game's official sub-reddit page have documented similar complaints from players, all experiencing the same issue. While some fans have been patiently waiting for a solution, others have taken to social media to express their frustration.

The issue seems to be affecting a large number of players, and it appears that Civilization VI is suffering from connection problems similar to those experienced by Grand Theft Auto V when it was given away as a free title.

The Epic Games Support Status website has logged numerous issues related to the game's launcher and online services not functioning for users. It's likely that the massive influx of traffic on the servers since the game became available for free on the Epic Games Store is contributing to these problems.

For those new to the series, Civilization VI is a popular turn-based strategy game that can be played on PC, as well as gaming consoles. The game typically costs £49.99 online, but it's now available as a free download until May 28, 2020.

As fans eagerly await a patch to resolve this issue, we'll keep an eye out for any updates from the developers and provide further information as it becomes available. In the meantime, gamers who are experiencing this problem can try reaching out to Epic Games Support for assistance or join the conversation on the game's subreddit page to share their experiences with others.

Update: Civilization VI is still available as a free download until May 28, 2020. If you're having trouble connecting to multiplayer services, be sure to check back here for any updates on this issue.
