Introducing Sid Meier’s Civilization V for SteamOS and Linux

[Aspyr-Blair]

Aspyr Media is pleased to announce our first Linux and SteamOS title, Sid Meier’s Civilization V. The SteamOS release includes all Civilization V DLC and expansion content, including Gods & Kings and Brave New World.

This release targets SteamOS on current gen hardware. Additionally, we're working towards supporting Ubuntu 14.04 as well as additional video cards in future updates.

Here’s where we need your help! To improve Civ V and future AAA games on SteamOS, we're looking for feedback. Tell us below what's working great or what's not working. If you're having any problems, please contact our support directly at http://support.aspyr.com/tickets/new

I'm merging this with the main Linux discussion post to help us consolidate this AWESOME news.

There is a chance that some program intercepts the "bottom edge" event. For example KDE's panel set to autohide does that.

I noticed in the Windows version I can move my mouse down in full screen and it scrolls the map. In the Linux version I can only scroll up left and right but I can't scroll down! Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000. It could be a Ubuntu 14.04 problem as other games have this problem.

Sounds like just your mouse, try a different one and you'll find out. :D

I refuse to play the Linux version of Civilization 5 until Aspyr fixes that aful warbaling sound. Its extremly iratating and total sucks all the fun out of the game. I will play the Windows version until they fix the Linux version. Besides I cant play my mods with the Linux version yet. I hope when the Linux version of BE comes next month (hopefully) that the warbeling problem isn't in that port to. The Linux version was a great port until the update.

[El Presidente]

Of course it could be Fireaxis and 2K's fault since Aspyr said they went over the patch just before it went to Steam.

Warbaling sound?

[El Presidente]

I think it might be two sound files playing at once and one lagging the other one for about one second. Like two instances of the same midi file playing. It dose this in the loading screen when you first start and all through a game. From achient era to industrial. Probably all other eras too. I haven't played beyond Industrial era yet as I got sick of the afull racket.

Generally mouse issues mean it's extremely difficult to move the pointer where you want (either erratic movement or no movement at all).

It's more likely that some program, probably a panel of some sort, is preventing the program from realizing the mouse is at the bottom edge of the screen.

Not experiencing this problem. Check your sound stack.

Or try muting the music track.

I don't have the money to buy another mouse. More likley its a Microsoft thing since others have reported problems with wirless Microsoft mice. Makes sence since Bill Gates has always seen Linux as the enemy. I think that is stupid of Mr. Gates since the Linux community only sees Microsoft as a competitor not an enemy.

The sound works correctly with other games including Borderlands 2 so it is just this game. Probably Fire axis or 2K's fault since it worked great before they messed with it.

If it's not happening to other Civ5 Linux users, it's not the game. Or not just the game. Something must be different (not necessarily 'wrong') with your system or your installation of the game.

You guys do notice this sentence in the intro posting, don't you?

[El Presidente]

Actualy I have seen reports that other Linux gamers are also having sound issues.

I literally just debunked it being your mouse because the behavior is completely inconsistent with any real mouse prob--

Oh. You're one of those people, nevermind.
