Issues with Uplay
The game will try to connect to Uplay. It is possible to download Uplay from the Ubisoft website and install it via Wine as described in other reports here. It will then require you to log in. Afterwards it will ask for a CD key which is not delivered with Steam.
PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command%
- Proton 8.0 did not work
- Works with Proton 7.0-6
- Requires launch flag PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command%
PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command%
Use PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command%
PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command%
Not all graphics options work. I had to disable hardware mouse cursor support. Otherwise the game is playable and stable.
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ddraw.dll=n" %command%
You must install cnc draw. You can change the resolution in ra2.ini. Follow the great instructions in: https://www.protondb.com/app/2229850#6G8XQ3PQxY
I used:
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% NOSPLASHPRELOAD
and proton 5.13-6. Everything worked really well. I did not try multiplayer.
PROTON_NO_D3D11=1 PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=1 %command%
Crashes every couple of hours. Possible to play the campaign just save every 30 min.
You can play all the campaigns if you save once in a while. All videos play correctly. Did not test multiplayer.
PROTON_NO_D3D11=1 PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=1 %command%
Proton 8.0 displayed the launch screen correctly. Afterwards the game crashes showing an error saying that no 3D graphics card detected. Copying fonts in did not help for Proton 8.0.
It works with Proton 5.0:
- launch screen is white, but play button is visible
- had to copy in fonts as described by Gar0gin and LiveWireBT
- no alt-tab was necessary. It just worked
I used an old version of proton 4.2-9. Furthermore, I had to set
PROTON_NO_D3D11=1 %command%
as launch flag
Works very well except for long save game loading times
Very long loading times. The time is spent in CPU.
Loading save games takes very long.
The game is shipped with incompatible libraries.
Download the game from Steam in the Linux runtime version
cd .steam/steam/steamapps/common/Northgard/linux Move all *.so files into a backup folder.
Go through the libraries (every .so file) one by one. Search the package name for Ubuntu. Install them, e.g. using sudo apt-get install.
For some of the libraries they were using a different name. So, I had to place virtual links into the linux/ folder of the game. For example:
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmbedcrypto.so.2.8.0 libmbedcrypto.so.0
- The game does not start from Steam.
You can start the game from:
cd .steam/steam/steamapps/common/Northgard
linux/.run.sh
- If you want to connect to Steam, e.g. to collect achievements, more tweaks are needed.
Start Steam before the game. Do not start the game from Steam, but from the command line from step 4).
In the error messages of the game it will tell you that it is missing the app ID. Set the app ID to 466560 as described in the error message. Afterwards the game will connect to Steam.
I did not try multiplayer.
Download game from Steam. I used proton 4.2-9
Validate the local files using Steam
Run
chmod 444 ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Offworld Trading Company/gamedata2.data
- Add launch options in Steam: PROTON_NO_D3D11=1 %command%
Without steps 2) and 3) the launcher will not be displayed correctly. Also, after updates to the game steps 2) and 3) have to be repeated.
You have to lower graphics settings to be able to play
Start the game once. The run this command to install the missing DirectX:
protontricks 287450 directmusic
Starting the game again and it works.
The tutorial does not work. Other contributors describe that switching to a previous version of the game fixes this.
I intentionally used proton 5.0-10
Steps taken:
Download game via steam. Use Steam Linux runtime.
Start the game once. Go to the menu and close the game.
Afterwards edit ~/.local/share/aspyr-media/Sid Meier's Civilization VI/AppOptions.txt In there set:
EnableBugCollection 0
EnableDumpCollection 0
- If you play multiplayer across different platforms, then strangely the versions can differ. First ensure everyone updated their Civ via Steam to the newest version. Afterwards edit:
.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Sid Meier's Civilization VI/aspyrassets/global/string/app.json
and set the same number as on the other platform
Works natively with minor crashes
Once in a while after loading a save game or starting a level the user interface does not appear. After restarting the game everything is fine.
