Game Crashes On Startup - Arch Linux/EndeavourOS about mppatch HOT 3 CLOSED

This is an issue with Civ V, not MPPatch, and I'm not sure I can fix it in a reasonable way.

Instead of setting it to the Proton version, try setting it to use the Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (scout) in the Compatibility menu, which should solve this problem.

I tried it with both the Proton version and the native version multiple times... (With different issues depending on my selection.)

But my biggest issue is the failure to clean uninstall.

Does it work if you delete the Civilization V directory entirely and reinstall it? The install process only changes files in that directory, and messes with nothing out of that, by design.

If that doesn't work, then your issue isn't with MPPatch. If it does, I'll reopen this and investigate what's wrong with the uninstaller.

I know of an issue where Civ V crashes on recent versions of Arch Linux (haven't tracked down why), and you need to enable the Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 to run it at all. This is different from just running the Proton version, because it's still native Linux, just using an older set of libraries that is known to work with the game. It sounds a lot like you're running into that rather than a bug here.
