Runs great on Linux

[Silverlight]

Running on Proton GE 9-23 with OpenMandriva

7900xtx / 5800x3D / 64GB 3200mhz RAM / Gen 4 m.2

I am having a good time. It booted right up with no issues at all. Hasn't crashed and I don't noticed any glitches or errors.

This is good to hear.

Why are you using Proton instead of native?

I can't even get the game to start on my desktop. Manjaro Linux on an Intel Core i7-3930K CPU with an AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT.

Runs fine on my Steam Deck, though.

I guess it started for me because I am using proton.

I tried with Proton, too. Didn't work. Not sure what's going on.

Yeah I don't know either. My launch command are

DXVK_ASYNC=1 gamemoderun %command%

This is a rolling release on Mandriva, perhaps the mesa drivers are more up to date? I'm on Mesa 24.3.3

Manjaro is also a rolling release, and I just updated before trying to play the game for the first time. Other people have reported the same problem -- game failing to launch -- so it's not just my system.

Since there are is no Denuvo on Linux, does that mean the native build is fully DRM free?

I'm wondering the same question. NTsync though recently being a thing for Linux also has me wondering on that front as well. Since I think it might enable Denuvo to work on Linux; but I am not certain.

I don't know what NTsync is capable of, but the largest Linux Civ VII file is half the size of the largest Windows file, so I'm pretty sure Denuvo isn't there in any form.

Can somebody with Linux try to copy the game on another disk and try to start it with Steam off?

It ran first time for me on Devuan. Native Started very fast
But interesting Audio didn't work like in Civ VI. (But technically Civ VII runs way better native) And on launch cross platform support seems to be there.
Except this time it doesn't seem like a good thing the kind of access it needs to get sound.

I doubt it.
It has a DRM similar to XCOM2 and than some

[headlesscyborg]

The native Linux version seems to be working just fine and it's a native Vulkan build, no reason to use Proton at all, as far as I know.
Looks like they didn't even involve a third party porting company this time. First party release that will (hopefully) get patches at for all platforms at once, that's perfect.

Native works for me perfectly... however I didn't play a lot yet.

No, it uses Steam DRM. That said, Steam DRM is dramatically less intrusive than Denuvo and causes far less problems. For all intents and purposes it may as well be DRM-free.

[ParabolaWaVe]

Civs on native Linux were always less spying-prone than its Windows counterparts, and Denuvo is missing from all these releases. Not a good idea to emulate Windows to run that version. Native is linked to better libraries, while the Windows OS has lots of obsolete and buggy code for the sake of retrocompatibility.
