Civilization V Is Now Available For Linux, SteamOS

[Daktyl198]

I posted it above, here is link to my topic with video:

http://steamcommunity.com/app/8930/discussions/0/540744299663228739/

But let's say fair I doubt that Core2Duo will able to handle even strategy view, but worth to try anyway.

I tried using that launch option, and it still failed.

Without the special option:

(I just took that from the output when opening Steam from the cli. I probably got some Steam Client output in there as well)

And like I said, my laptop handles the game in strategy mode surprisingly well on Windows (the only lag, and even then it's small, is when the AI is taking it's turn), so it should actually handle it better on Linux >.<

I suspect you are getting some D3D acceleration on windows though, and this option on linux tries to software render everything, so it's likely going to be slower.

Here's the error from your logs, though:

libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri/swrast_dri.so failed (/home/nathan/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.7.0' not found (required by /usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri/swrast_dri.so))
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

Looks pretty familiar. I think if you replace that libgcc_s.so.1 in the steam-runtime with a version from your OS it will fix things.

I tried using that launch option, and it still failed.

I'm running arch and most steam errors not launching games is because of the shipped steam runtime. Some libraries shipped by the steam runtime are old to work on your distro, from your error messages you can see:

libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri/swrast_dri.so failed (/home/nathan/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.7.0' not found (required by /usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri/swrast_dri.so))

It seems you have a newer gcc version installed on your system but the shipped libgcc_s.so.1 requires version 4.7, to fix this issue you could rename libgcc_s.so.1 to disable-libgcc_s.so.1 which is stored on home/nathan/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ and then try relaunching steam. If everything works fine you could just delete the disable-libgcc_s.so.1 file.

Recently (mesa 10.2+) some of these shipped libraries (like libgcc_s.so.1) can even crash xserver (so bug is not only about steam usage) .

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78604

So people better be sure remove/not to used it .

Just remove libgcc_s.so.1 and it's will work.

I'm running Manjaro (Unstable, so almost exactly the Arch Stable repo), but I don't play Steam much so this hasn't really affected me before...

Your suggestion worked! Though, I also had to rename libstdc++.so.6 (or something like that). Now it runs! And I can continue that game I was forced to start on Windows

EDIT: Holy crap, The font rendering on the menus basically does NOT exist. The text is just random box-like structures, that don't resemble text in the slightest. This is going to make getting to my games hard... and I hope to god it's not like that in-game Q__Q

[jasonditz]

This is great news. Game works flawless for me on my A10-6800K without a dedicated GPU. Seems a lot faster than my aging MacMini could run it.

[whitecat]

Just remove libgcc_s.so.1 and it's will work.

It depends.
That may or may not work. When Steam launches, it can do a self check and if it sees that his libs are gone, it re-download them.

The cleaner way to do is to launch Steam that way :

STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam

I assume it is a port from the "DX9 tech level" like the OS X version?

The GL backend is same.
