This would be nice to hear if Linux versions of Civ games weren't always complete garbage

God I hope it doesn't suck as bad as 6

Any confirmation of linux/windows crossplay?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If it's anything like 6, yes, but the Linux version won't get quick updates so effectively no, since players have to be on the same update.

There's no reason the Proton version won't work, though, I suppose.

Here's hoping the Linux native version fares better this time around...

Good to hear thanks. And proton has worked well for 6? (Steamdeck i assume is using proton not native linux?). We still play V, when they broke mac/windows crossplay I had to install bootcamp to continue playing with my friends. But the family iMac I did that on definitely won't run 7, so was looking into building a linux tower I could use instead and would strongly prefer not to deal with windows.

Yes, the VI Windows version via Proton is superiour to the native linux build. Steam Deck likely defaults to the native version, but that can be overridden with 4 clicks.

Civ 6 steam proton version works great in my experience.

I prefer Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord these days
