Important Notes

  • AMD is currently working with Firaxis to resolve an issue where the interactive and visual elements of the mouse cursor can become offset. If you encounter this issue, the following workaround is available:

Go to Windows Settings and adjust Text Scaling

  1. Right-Click the Desktop
  2. Select Screen Resolution
  3. Make Test and Other Items Larger or Smaller
  4. Set 100% Default
AMD is working with Firaxis to resolve an issue where graphics stuttering may be observed under high map zoom and high image quality settings.

Multi-monitor gaming in Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth 
Sid Meier's Civilization®: Beyond Earth™ does not support multi-monitor configurations. Launching the game in such configurations may cause the game to hang.

Multi-GPU in Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth™

Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth presently supports a maximum of two graphics cards in Mantle. If you are using more than two graphics products with Mantle for this game, it is required that disable the extra linked adapters through Windows device manager.
