Symptoms

  1. Civilization V launches in DX9 even when DX11 option is selected. The native version is unstable and mods need the DX11 Windows version of the game.
  2. Also the game doesn't see the mods that launch on startup located in: "/home/piotr/.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/8930/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Sid Meier's Civilization V/Assets/DLC"

Reproduction

  1. Never happens on the first attempt. Launch the game with forced experimental.
  2. Install any mod in this directory: "/home/piotr/.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/8930/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Sid Meier's Civilization V/Assets/DLC"
