    A third party ported a game to Linux then stopped keeping it up to date with the Windows version. Your versions have to match for online play, so to play with your Windows buddies, you have to force it to use the latest version on proton. But guess what, the save data is separated between platforms, so you have to create your character again and lose your story progress.

    The game is Borderlands 2 BTW.

      Civ VI has a Linux build, but one of the DLCs does not. If you install the “complete” pack on Linux without forcing proton, it will just silently skip it and you’ll be left scratching your head about where that content is.

        Is this still the case? I’ve been playing without noticing anything missing. But I’m not a veteran player that would notice either. Steam discussions seem to suggest it’s all in sync?

          It has admittedly been a while since I checked, but the Leader Pass is still listed as Win/Mac only in Steam, and there are recent reviews saying it doesn’t work in Linux.

          Are you able to start a game as Sejong? Wanting to do a Korea science run is what tipped me off that something was wrong.
