Steam would give me one path where local game files were stored but when checked in file browser or terminal, they didn't match up. I noticed there were odd things about the paths with the flatpak install.

I didn't know that Proton will install Window's files for a native client I'll have to fix that.Also, using proprietary drivers for Nvidia, so far so good on that. So far I know PopOS should allow native Steam client install. But, it seems flatpak is using it's own installation paths, which may interfer with native Linux games insisting on common Steam paths. Do you your proprietary drivers vor Nvidia/Amd? If you have AMD card, Mesa drivers + Vulcan shouws pretty much the same good source for it.īTW, by re-reading your OP and other posts, you installed Steam via flatpak? Not the native Steam installation? I read about another guy having such issues because of flatpak installation too. If this doesn't run, my next idea would be to care about graphic card drivers. Your issue sounds pretty similar to what I had with some mods active, so this was my very first idea.Ĭiv6 and first DLC are ported to run native on Linux, so do not switch Proton on in game's setup, otherwise Steam will DL the whole Windows install files and will run it in compatibility mode.

Would I need to 'unsubscribe' from a player mod in the workshop our would disabling it be enough? Funny the scenarios (which came from the DLC's) worked fine. One of the first things I did was disable all additional contents-the DLC's and the mods. Originally posted by Kepos: Protondb [is a good source to get games running.
Civilization vi linux how to#
Anyone have an idea on how to solve this? I'd rather play the game in Linux than chalk up another reason for dual booting into Windows.:(Īny help you offer would be appreciated. Yeah right!Īnd for bonus points, 'Browse local files' button in Steam does nothing and the UI interface size bar vanished!Īt this point, I'm out of ideas and what little sanity I lay claim to. Uttered a vile oath against the machine spirit hoping intimidation would work. Followed instructions on Protondb's page for issues (launch option, text file) Bupkus! Disabled all official and non-offical DLC/Mods. Changed from 4k resolution to 1k, thinking menu is off screen somewhere. So here's what I've tried to do to fix the issue with no results Also, the 'Play Now' option results in a CTD.

If I go to close down the game, the pop-up cancellation menu appears and the game shuts down fine. The menu disappears, the compass wheel in the upper corner spins while the music plays. The fun begins when I go under the Single Player option to 'Create a Game'. I can launch scenarios, I can play the tutorial, I can even run the benchmark with no problems. I have Civ 6 installed and it boots up fine with a menu and all that. I'm running Pop OS 20.04, with Steam installed via flatpak. Ok maybe it's not the devil but it's giving me a real hard time to get it to work right! At wit's end here so I'm hoping the wise among you know the secret.
