Civ 5 crashes on Linux

[Iconian]

I'm running Linux Cinnamon Mint 22 on a Dell Inspiron 5645. Civ 5 loads up and then I'm able to start a new game, but then it crashes after about a minute. It's now done this around half a dozen times. Does anyone know what the trouble might be? I verified integrity of game files, but it still crashed. Also, I'm not using any mods.

If you have the 8840U version, this could be due to the number of cores/threads. If it's higher than 8, the game will crash after a while. You can limit the cores used by the game by using taskset in the launch parameters. For example, use only the first 8 threads :

taskset -c 0-7 %command%

I used that command and just played 15 turns in a quick duel without it crashing. Before it crashed after one or two turns, so it seems like it's probably working.
