Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Civilization 6
  • Steam AppID of the game:

System Information

  • GPU: nVidia GeForce 730
  • Video driver version: nVidia 470.199.02
  • Kernel version:
  • Link to full system information report as Gist:
  • Proton version: THIS IS MY QUESTION. Experimental and 8 say "no graphics card found"

I confirm:

  • [ ] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • [X] that I done all available updates (Ubuntu, driver, etc).

Symptoms "no graphics card found", but Civ6 store profile still says my graphics card is within minimum spec for windows. Maybe it is Proton which requires a later card ?

Hello @donburch888, noted at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Changelog#available-in-proton-80, Proton 8.0 and newer needs the video driver to provide Vulkan 1.3. The NVIDIA 470 series video driver provides Vulkan 1.2.

Proton 7.0 and older doesn't have this requirement.

Thanks Kisak,
I did have a look in the changelog and in github for "Civilization". I saw the mention of Vulkan, but assumed it was just another feature enhancement ... no hint that it means games won't run on older graphics cards.
