I tried playing a civ that isn't russia today and I just can't do it, the city borders are so small when founded. 6 tiles? Ain't nobody got time for that.
My anecdotal experience this morning is that it runs smoother on my AMD R9 380. Leader screens are still at a lower FPS when i set the parameters to high. But "playing" the game seems slightly snappy. Not scientific at all and i just did a quick play through this morning.

I'm playing at Standard at turn 210. Not sure what turn I first picked up Oligarchy, though.
EDIT: I could also just be imagining things due to "one more turn..."
Nope.
Other changes:
-Hotkey for toggle yield production on or off (default: Y)
-AMD Radeon logo at start.
-Resource icons now have a color background. Yellow for bonus, red for strategic, purple for luxury.
-New advisors for tech tree, production and I think civics tree.
I like this patch. The city cicling hotkeys is a godsend to me. But it needs one for selecting the capital. And one for toggling the resource icons.

The bug's still there
What's the reasoning behind not being able to delete damaged units??
Yep, I agree it needed nerfing but to do away with it all together makes for an unhappy monk; especially as I was gonna abuse the hell out of it as Sycthia in an MP game with my mates! ;-)

I think (although I never checked numbers to confirm) you could avoid war fatigue by deleting units rather than letting enemies kill them.
Yeah, I suspect Scythia is the reason they skipped over a 50-75% reduction and zeroed out gold payments.
Aye likely so, I was still looking forward to exploiting it, especially as my start position was pretty poor. Oh well, looks like I'll just have to conquer everyone, heartbreaking!
It might not be an easy fix. I think the reason UI scaling is only available at 4K is because they can simply double the size of a 1080p UI. Very easy. Going to 1440p is trickier and the engine itself could make it hard.
Now, I never in a billion years thought they'd fuck up UI scaling after the excellent solution in Civ 5 but here we are.
In related news, I haven't seen any comment from Firaxis about Civ 6's UI scaling. It's really disappointing.

Man, I just can't get to grips with this game - I'm trying to learn the ropes on settler, but all the AI are complete bastards regardless. Either I'm left alone but advance much slower than everyone else, or they rush me early on. Saladin is entirely untrustworthy, haven't had a single game where he's been anything less than a total arsehole. The Civ placement is pretty shitty as well, I miss being able to load up a huge map and reduce the number of Civs so there's more space to explore and fight over between empires, but Civ 6 seems to cluster Civs fairly close together no matter what.
Does anyone else feel like the religion victory is pretty snowball-y? In 2 of my 3 Emperor games one of the AIs had all civs concerted but 1 (me) by about turn 500-600 (Around late medieval era/I play on Marathon). In my first game I had to go full military and win domination to stop it. Thankfully in this game I have my own religion in can defend my cities properly. It seems like getting a religion is almost mandatory just to protect yourself from losing a religious victory early on because one religion often takes out the neighboring ones and then spreads like wildfire. I wonder if the recent changes which makes religious units more expensive and improves the religious defenses of holy cities will help with that in the future

Yeah, crashing at the same turn on my laptop. DX11 or DX12. Well, that's one game I've wasted 6 hours on.

I kind of feel like you shouldn't have patched in the "Barbarian Spotted Your City!" icon if all it's doing is showing off how utterly and hilariously broken that subsystem is.
I totally agree with this. Friggin Saudi Arabia and Germany are clearly using all of their resources to win a religion victory and I don't know how they are doing it. They are also pumping out military (navy) like all hell as well. How do they even have the gold/time? While ALSO BEING AT WAR with other nations?! The Fuck?

Rushed through another game. CtD on same turn. The game's fucked for me.
Seriously PC games have been shit this year for performance/stability.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
Eh I'm actually fine with it gone, I didn't use it anyway as it felt like an exploit from the start.

Large map with 8 civs is the way to go
I really wish they would make it so the create game would keep the same settings as the last game you started. Constantly defaulting to something else is a pain

This. It was even more stupid with Scythia too. Notice all the money I get from deleted horsemen.
to prevent people from deleting units to deny their opponents XP from killing them, or to prevent opponents from spreading their religion (if an apostle dies in combat, the winning religion gets a boost and the losing one gets reduced)

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
They still haven't fixed map resources spawning huh? Really hate the "empty map zones".

The main exploit was to use the +100% production to cavalry bonus, make a horse, then delete it for gold. Combined with the production overflow bug, you could generate way more production than normal, transform that into money, and then buy whatever the hell you want.
...and also build wonders in one turn.

Yeah. This needs to be patched in. Also...it'd be nice if there was an advanced option to have tile yields on by default.
the exploit you are talking about only refers to gaining gold from deleting units, people were wondering why you couldn't delete damaged units anymore.
Probably to stop people deleting endangered units in order to lessen war wariness

Just won a Religious Victory as Saladin on a six-player King difficulty game at turn 232. It was fairly easy if you capture their small cities quickly and then flank the larger ones with your remaining Spread Religion charges. Closing off the Missionary production of your competitors helps you naturally snowball, to where I was just sailing around exploring for the last Civ's cities. Laa ilah il-Allah!
With that, I've seen all of the game's victory endings, except for Score (not sure if it has one). I don't know if I'm ready for Emperor difficulty but I now have a decent handle on how to nail the different victories. Overall, this is more enjoyable to me than what I tried from Civ V. Even the Diplomacy is starting to make a bit more sense now.

Deleting units who are about to die, denies your opponent any EXP.
which is what I said a few posts ago to which you replied that it was because of gold farming
. . .
Yesterday I started my second game, first after patch. I won't start another one until they fix the AI. All AIs have declared surprise wars on me (one was friends with me!) and now they hate me because warmongery. Not that I'm afraid or anything, but I don't enjoy playing such an unrealistic setting.
Then I can't tell them to nit settle nearby or convert my cities. Diplomacy was supposed to be one of the highlights of the game and is worse than ever.

They need to fix the wonder bug. All wonders I start but fail at completing just disappear and there's no production to vacuum up either automatically or by sending a worker to that spot(the way I thought it was in this game).
Thats not a bug, as far as I know that's how it's supposed to work. Wonders another Civ beats you to give you some gold but no production.
How big was your army when they declared a surprise war? It may not be bad AI, you may have just been taught a lesson in trust.
