Feature request: Reuse the same ID across multiple platforms.

Before creating

• This is NOT a gameplay feature from Civ VI, BNW, or outside - see Roadmap
• This is NOT a gameplay feature from Vanilla Civ V or from G&K - If so, it should be a comment in Missing features from Civ V - G&K #4697

Problem Description

Typically, in my gaming sessions with my cousin, I start the game on my phone. To introduce various difficulties and scenarios, we enjoy adding many mods. I've never had a problem with this before, but currently, my game is crashing three out of five times, when I it's my turn. The issues are reported as "Insufficient Memory" (My phone only has 4 GB), and I know it may seem strange to circumvent this problem in this way, but the performance level on the computer is much higher.

Desired Solution

The idea is to allow the use of the same game ID on both the mobile phone and the computer. This involves creating a tab for entering the value and, in the event of joining a game with mods, initiating the download of those mods.

Alternative Approaches

Indeed, as I also mentioned, another possible solution is optimizing the game for mobile devices. However, I believe this is something that y'all already strive for by default and not necessarily a feature for improving the quality-of-life.

Sounds like you created a very very large map to me.
Could you attach the save file? Maybe that will help us with memory profiling

For your issue though:

• Main menu > Multiplayer > "copy user ID"
• Main menu > options > advanced > "Take user ID from clipboard"

It's a rare ask, hence why it's hidden
Your games won't automatically be transferred, though, you'll need to send yourself the game IDs as well, unfortunately
Regarding 'download mods when opening game' - I know this is an option when loading a game form a file, I don't recall if this is also the case in multiplayer, would be glad to know :)
