Steam: Civilization 6

Help
1

Hi,

is anybody here able to run Civilization 6 on nixos? The game does not open from the steam gui without any error message. I would like to use steam-run to get some debug information, however I do not know which file to start with steam-run.

My configuration.nix has the entries

  programs.steam.enable = true;
  hardware.opengl.driSupport32Bit = true;
  hardware.pulseaudio.support32Bit = true;

Thanks a lot.

Hello, chances are the launcher is failing to start.

You can skip it though! https://www.reddit.com/r/civ/comments/mlompp/psa_how_to_bypass_the_launcher_in_steam/

You’ll have to adjust where you look, and I believe the executable is Civ6Sub

Thanks a lot! Using
"/home/me/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Sid Meier's Civilization VI/Civ6Sub" %command%
in “Properties → Launch Options” works. Stupid launcher.
