The official Linux thread

[Aspyr-Blair]

Alright party penguins. We are proud to announce the launch of Civ VI Linux today (Feb 9th)!

I'll keep this thread updated with the most current info possible, so check in frequently for updates and of course to share your experience.

A huge heartfelt thanks to all the patient Linux gamers that supported our efforts. Especially those that sent cookies to our office with notes of Civ VI encouragement ;)

System requirements below:

Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04 / SteamOS
CPU Processor: Intel Core i3 530 or AMD A8-3870
CPU Speed: 2.93 GHz
Memory: 6 GB
Hard Disk Space: 15 GB
Video Card (NVIDIA): GeForce 650
Video Card (ATI): Not Supported
Video Card (Intel): Not Supported
Video Memory (VRam): 1 GB

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Some Intel i3 Processors may require an additional 2 GB Swap Partition.

If you dont meet the above system requirements, that does NOT mean you wont be able to run Civilization VI. If we know anything about the Linux community, its that you all find a way to make something work on your specific distro and comparable hardware sets. Chime in here with issues, and we will either help you get a ticket into our support system, or if unsupported there are many penguins that can help.

You could just as well run strings(1) against the binaries looking for 'redshell' or its api address 138.91.197.151. I'm not going to do it for you. Please come back when you can show something.

You ask question which any sane software developer can answer only with "It will be released when Its ready".

I would rather ask "Is there any progress on getting Linux version insync with other platforms?"

Wrapping up now actually! Should be through sweeps over the next couple of weeks.

I've stopped talking to windows users unless I need someone to pass me the ketchup. Just kidding. Sort of. I am done with the civ franchise. Stellaris and Europa Universalis, it's whats for dinner.

I am playing this game on OpenSUSE Leap 42.3
It works fine, no problems.

I am now planning to upgrade to OpenSUSE Leap 15, but I wanted to check if there is anyone who has gotten to play Civ on Leap 15? This is one of my most important games on Linux and I wanted to make sure there was no problems before I did the upgrade.

Have you tried the civ4 mod scene?

[Sekal_Desu]

I'm running Mint 18.3 and I tried to start a custom game and all the menu options were blank. Couldn't pick a Civ, map type, game duration, anything. I then decided to try the play it now and I got a blank map and the turns just kept turning over. I don't have any mods enabled and have reinstalled the game once already with no effect.

I post comment about bug causes window not restored from task bar properly on ICE-WM DE. I launch Civ6: R&F on Plasma5 today and the same error exist.

i didnt pay for linux support. i paid for civilisation vi which is the product. linux support is a feature of the product.

Hold on brethren. Lower your pitchfork for a moment. I am trying to understand.

RedShell is not a part of the Linux port. Not only Aspyr-Blair stated so, but also people on reddit that investigated found no trace of it (no library – no connections – no collected data found).

So, why are you angry with people that have nothing to do with RedShell? And why are you mentioning RedShell on this thread?

PS: I really disagree with calling “Linux support” a “feature” but honestly I am not here to argue.

They just use a pki.

Is there info about the update?
