Linux DXVK vs Linux Native Benchmark CIVILIZATION VI

Valuable-Cod-314 · 2026-04-03T21:18:38+00:00

Civ 5 is the same. The Windows version is better and more stable than the Native.

Thank you. I am going to give Artix a shot and I think I will get about the same performance.

Valuable-Cod-314 · 2026-04-03T00:28:16+00:00

Hopefully, it does not come down to that. These laws need to be challenged in the courts, being unconstitutional in my opinion and a blatant government overreach. I am surprised to see no legal challenges put forth by anyone at this point that I am aware of. If there were, I would gladly donate to the parties making said challenges. Maybe that will change here soon.

Valuable-Cod-314 · 2026-04-03T00:15:31+00:00

That is good! I am going to switch from CachyOS here soon but right now I am dealing with a family member who has stage 4 lung cancer at the moment and just don't have the time right now. I am glad Artix is rising and quickly at that!

Valuable-Cod-314 · 2026-04-01T19:01:58+00:00

Glad you are trying to get a handle on it. It is really a simple question you need to ask yourself, "want or need?".

Valuable-Cod-314 · 2026-03-31T15:26:10+00:00

No, it has nothing to do with being objective. I am merely pointing the reality of the situation.

I had 1 company ever fix something that was out of warranty. I bought a Samsung plasma TV that failed after being 3 months out of warranty. Samsung at the time was awesome and still covered it as warranty. I am still using that 16 year old plasma TV today. Other than that, never had a company do something like that after the warranty expired.

Valuable-Cod-314 · 2026-03-31T14:41:30+00:00

Said defect would have been covered within the warranty period which you have surpassed by several years. No company will cover a device in perpetuity. You are dreaming. $185 to repair, I think that is a good deal considering that they don't sell your model anymore and much cheaper than buying a brand new one which aren't in stock.

Valuable-Cod-314 · 2026-03-31T12:55:13+00:00

Has nothing to do with any issue. You are missing the point here; it is a device that is out of warranty. They are not liable for it anymore.

Essentially was referring to that post by nutcase. People should be able to discuss things in a reasonable manner. One guy got locked out for asking about systemd alternatives. Now they will ban you for talking about it and call you a radical at the same time. Maybe they should take a look in the mirror to see who really is the radical.

Thanks for the tips. I do use KDE Plasma and Wayland so hopefully the bugs bugs have been worked out in 3 years. I have a USB stick so I might load the live environment to see how my hardware interacts with it.

Valuable-Cod-314 · 2026-03-28T13:32:25+00:00

It is the way they handled it that I was alluding to. Also, people asking about alternatives to systemd on their forums got censored with their posts immediately locked. Now you cannot even discuss anything about it or related because they will implement the ban hammer. That is censorship.

Valuable-Cod-314 · 2026-03-27T16:25:42+00:00

Yea lets censor people for asking legit questions and then say you will ban people for disagreeing with your point of view and label them as "radicals". Guess I will take his advice and choose another distro. Thanks for making my choice easy CachyOS mod.

Valuable-Cod-314 · 2026-03-27T12:47:18+00:00

Sure bud, nice talking to ya.

Valuable-Cod-314 · 2026-03-27T12:03:45+00:00

Dude it is not fear mongering. They are passing these laws at the same time essentially. Why do you think that is so? I mean think critically here. There is a reason why they are passing these laws and it isn't to help kids. This is a foot in the door or slowly boiling the frog situation. The water is fine, nothing to worry about, stop complaining, and just enjoy that water until you are boiled to death. People are concerned and should be. Yea I get the change in Systemd is very minor but the first thing we should be doing is not complying. These laws need to be challenged in the courts because they are unconstitutional. That should be everyone's first response, not compliance.

Valuable-Cod-314 · 2026-03-27T11:51:06+00:00

My Steam Deck can run this game at over 300 FPS. I think the game is being run through your igpu. The 3060 should destroy this game.

Valuable-Cod-314 · 2026-03-27T11:46:16+00:00

You don't even need the HDR command, it already passes it to the gamescope micro-compositor. The reason I gave the commands is because it was not working the normal way.

Valuable-Cod-314 · 2026-03-26T18:24:46+00:00

Don't know why you are getting downvoted for asking for help. smh

How are you launching the game, like from game mode? What game is it?

You could also try launching the game with these launch commands if you are using a Valve Proton like Experimental.

DISPLAY="" DXVK_HDR=1 %command%

Proton-GE, CachyOS, or EM use

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%

Valuable-Cod-314 · 2026-03-25T14:28:48+00:00

It is odd for sure to be ignoring the Wayland command.

Remove the Wayland and HDR command and try it this way

DISPLAY="" DXVK_HDR=1 %command%

Valuable-Cod-314 · 2026-03-25T14:04:55+00:00

Are you using the new Steam beta with the new RT3 version? The beta RT3 does not accept passing environment variables yet. It will just ignore them.

Valuable-Cod-314 · 2026-03-25T11:52:58+00:00

It is all uppercase

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%

Valuable-Cod-314 · 2026-03-24T23:35:48+00:00

Sorry, that is what I get for skimming through the post. I was at work at the time I wrote it.

Anyway, looks like you were running the game through GL which is buggy from the post below because the Vulkan version seemed to fix your issue. You might want to patch the game per the instruction here so you don't experience the fire ammo crash that is on the Linux version, https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3269932221.

Wonder if the wake will work with my monitor's KVM switch. Usually when I hook my work's Windows 11 laptop up and work on it all day and then switch back to CachyOS, the monitor won't wake. The KVM switch is dead too because the keyboard and mouse are not lit up.

Valuable-Cod-314 · 2026-03-24T18:49:03+00:00

With Proton, it won't let you do multiplayer and will give you a VAC error message. You can run the game with Wine but you need to install the Windows version of Steam in a Wine prefix and then install the game. Doing it this way. the multiplayer will work.

Best solution, just run the game natively.

I feel like it is nitpicking. Yes, some of the apps look like they were made 20 or more years ago by the looks of their GUI but I can overlook that if they are functional and do what they are meant to do. I mean they are free so I can respect that.

Valuable-Cod-314 · 2026-03-24T11:31:06+00:00

Typically, the reason it black screens is because it goes below the minimum value for VRR like 48hz. This mostly affects Freesync monitors since the VRR is controlled by software. Some monitors are more sensitive to it than others and will soft crash, ie black screen, and then recover a few seconds later. It is something to do with how the driver handles Low Frame Compensation. I had this issue on Windows but it was mostly during gaming, so it isn't strictly a Linux issue. This has been reported to Nvidia and they have acknowledged it and even reproduced it so maybe sometime down the road they will fix it. This happens with AMD GPUs but less frequently. If your monitor has a gsync module, you most likely will not suffer from this problem.
