Steam does not recognize I launched Civ VI
When I launch a game my status changes from "Online" to "In-Game". Except when I launch Civilization VI. Then, nothing happens. I think achievement progress also doesn't work. The hours I play are recorded.
I've reinstalled both Steam and Civilization VI. Nothing changed.
When I go to my profile and visit my achievement progress I get: "There was a failure loading user game stats."
Best Answer
Most likely this is a problem with Steam Overlay. If you are closing the Steam window after launching the game, try leaving it open. If that doesn't work, go to your SteamDIR while in game and run GameOverlayUI.exe.

I think you should try verifying the game cache. I had a similar problem with CSGO and it worked (directx problem).
