We've just updated the Steam page for Sid Meier's Civilization® VII with minimum and recommended specs for Mac & Linux! Check out the requirements here to make sure your rig is ready for Civilization VII on February 11: MAC SPECS MINIMUM: OS: Sequoia Processor: M1 8 Core Memory: 8 GB RAM Graphics: M1 Storage: 25 GB available space RECCOMENDED: OS: Sequoia Processor: M2 Pro 10 Core Memory: 16 GB RAM Graphics: M2 Pro Storage: 25 GB available space LINUX SPECS MINIMUM: OS: Ubuntu 22.04 Processor:...
I have looked at the Steam discussion board for the game and people seem to be unhappy (based on the official streaming to showcase): a) Denuvo is planned to be integrated (not sure if plans have changed), and b) game looks and plays much different than any Civ so far. So Denuvo might still be integrated, but game can be perfectly playable on Linux. Denuvo is not an anti cheat system, its an anti theft system against piracy.
I wouldnt buy it until after release given the Denuvo probability. I’d hold off until it’s proven to work and doesn’t break for Linux users. Civ6 currently works as both native linux and priton/windows version on my machine, but I know others have had troubles with the native version. If Denuvo prevents proton running the windows version then many linux gamers may have an issue.
I definitely counsel a wait and see approach.
I have bought civ3 through 6, I’m interested but def not committed to 7 and Denuvo and its personal datagathering is a redline no for me.
Here’s the link to the previous post with denuvo as a question

YMMV
Interesting. Thanks for digging up.
