    (unexpected because the error I get is about threads - CPUs)

Quick Fix

The "Performance Impact" has dozens of options. One or more of them is buggy on macOS and causes Civ VI to crash every few minutes.

I don't know which specific option(s) cause it to crash, but by turning them all off it's possible to play for hours without crashing.
