Civilization V Is Now Available For Linux, SteamOS

[dungeon]

Seems like developer clarify it

Thanks to everyone for the support! Since a few of you have been burned by "wrapped" games in the past, I wanted to put any fears to rest. Aspyr has developed natively and ONLY natively for over 17 years. You will never, EVER see a wrapped port from us

HD5200 + Mesa 10.2, just played a single player world match and had pretty flawless performance. I was getting around 40 - 60 fps on max settings, dipping to 30 when there were a lot of units around.

The performance is not terrible though, contrary to the Witcher port.

I'll test it on my desktop 7870 later.

good amount of graphics bugs using mesa 10.2 on radeon

Runs smoothly on OS radeon driver with hd4850. It seems like you can get DLC and addons by clicking Verify integrity of game cache in game properties->local files. First time I clicked and it downloaded aditional 660MB and I got all my DLCs available for vanilla Civilization V. After second verification now it started to dowload 2.1GB, I assume it's addon.

Too bad I'm not a fan of turn based games, but any AAA game coming to Linux is good news.

Just tested on Debian Jessie with RadeonSi Driver (7850 1GB):
runs smoothly, but probably because of the driver, I have some glitches (mainly on the halo around the selected unit).
and the textures are as nice as they are under DirectX11...
so I'm waiting for mesa 10.2 on Jessie

Nowadays Mesa builds quite straightforwardly on Jessie

Steam people folks told it runs fine. Port is native and fine.

(and girls).

What? Where?

The price is %75 off. All dlc's are 15$ right now on steam. So go get it boys! (and girls).

Can't wait to give it a play later today. Hopefully won't be a letdown like witcher 2.

I can't wait for steam inhome streaming to work for linux hosts.
