Now, Civ V sometimes will run for hours, oftentimes it will crash on the first one or two starting attempts while loading the last savegame, shortly after the music starts to play and breaking up with a crackling.

Maybe due to trying to switch from Proton 8 to Experimental also Civ V was damaged and I had no choice but to delete the '2k launcher' entry and prefix from Steam, re-install the launcher and download and install Civ V into a completely new prefix, copying the backed-up savegames from the previous installation there, afterwards.

After forcibly shutting down the installer from the Steam lib, the '2k launcher' and thus the Civ V installation was corrupted beyond repair and the launcher would crash every time. UPDATE: at first everything seemed fine after the system upgrade, but shortly after things went haywire, at a point where the '2k launcher' updated itself and never finished this job. Launching again with 6.3-8, DX 9 installation would kick in again and after that, trying to run the game (with DX 9), the loading image was presented, like with 7.0, but then crash again.

I must say, I find it pretty upsetting, getting set back to point 0 every few months, finding some favorite game just doesn't work anymore, for no obvious reason. This is pretty ugly, since to me, Civ V is better than Civ VI (which doesn't work either, btw.). So, currently, this game is not working at all I do remember it working perfectly some 3 years ago, though. 7.6 would at least show the loading fullscreen image for a short time. So far, I've tried 8.0-2, 7.0-6, Experimental, 6.3-8 (in that order).Įvery time, the Civ starter would kick (with DirectX version setting), and then clicking on Play, the game would just crash without further visual errors (regardless of the chosen DX version). Pid 140982 != 140981, skipping destruction (fork without exec?)Ĭivilization V native Linux version from Aspyre worked, but would crash after increasingly shorter intervals while playing and also couldn't persist resolution settings.
