If you are experiencing an error like "Civilization VI is damaged and can't be opened.", our friends over at Aspyr have a solution!
Check out their help article:
If that doesn't solve the problem and Steam begins complaining about missing files, you can try to verify the integrity of the install by following these steps:
- First quit Steam and relaunch it (this sometimes is the actual fix!)
- Navigate to the Library and find Civilization VI
- Right click the game and select "Properties"
- In the new window, click to "Installed Files"
- Then find the button "Verify integrity of game files" and click that. Let it run through its process (sometimes will take awhile).
