Update 1.4.1 is live today specifically for console and Linux/Steam Deck players, and it's a focused one, Firaxis identified a controller responsiveness problem that was breaking functionality when you selected an Enhancer Belief, and they've nailed it down.

Beyond the controller fix, this hotfix brings over a few UI corrections that desktop players already got. Affirmation Traditions now actually show up under the Heian Traditions tab during setup (which was a confusing omission), and Heian's civilization quote finally appears where it should in the New Game creation screen. There's also a rendering improvement to stop mountain textures from popping in when you uncover connected tiles, a small visual fix that makes exploration feel less jarring.

If you're still hitting issues after patching, Firaxis wants to hear about it through their support portal. Check the full notes for the complete breakdown.
