Civilization 6 doesn't recognize my GPU

Technical Issues and Assistance Games
#1

It says 'unknown device', also in 'windowed' mode (and 1920x1080 resolution) the game doesn't take the whole screen.

What I've tried:

  • Update my gpu driver from 435xx to 440xx
  • Set DRI_PRIME=1 in launch options (I found this here)

PD: Prior to this issue I have the problem that civ doesn't initialize so searching for a solution I found this reddit thread, basically in it says that I have to add this command in the launch options:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 %command%

So now my launch options looks like this

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 %command% DRI_PRIME=1

Can we see the output of inxi -Fxxxz please?

#3

Oops I knew I was forgetting something, I just edit my initial post to include that.

#4

I have the same problem. It also shows some tearing if I try to make the game fullscreen (using the fullscreen feature of i3wm).

#5

On a similar note, I see only the integrated GPU as an option. The dedicated GPU(radeon) is not detected, even if I pass DRI_PRIME=1 option.

#6

This is a known issue with myriad threads open here and there all over the Internet. I always suggest the same: please open a ticket on Aspyr's website! Chances are they won't reply (my last ticket has been open for over three months), but who knows if they'll pay attention if enough people mail them.

#7

Yeah, I mean I can play the game just fine, but the problem comes when I want to record or stream it as the only way for OBS to capture the game is choosing the window mode, but it makes the game not taking the complete screen, I even tried to force the size and maximize options but it didn't worked. I already sent a ticket, no response until now.

I guess we just have to wait... or dream lol.

#8

I personally have zero hope regarding this issue. It took Aspyr ages to get the first DLCs out for Linux, never giving a damn about performance.

Perhaps we should be reaching the guys at Firaxis...
