    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.

      Looks like you are correct. I don’t think I could find most if not any of the leaders from the leader pass. Including Sejong. That’s incredibly disappointing. Looking through the contents of the dlc from a proton install I’m not seeing anything that would prevent someone from just using it on Linux other than editing the paths. I’ll experiment some. Maybe I’m naive and there’s a reason why no one else has done it.

      Edit: proton has come so far that maybe Linux peeps just opt to use that for civ6. Especially since the Linux build might be a tad buggy? At least for me it’s definitely had issues.

      Edit2: Ha. It works. That’s wild that they would just lazily not repack it…

      • just copy the windows dlc packs over,

      • copy DLC/_/Platforms/Windows -> DLC/_/Platforms/Linux

      • Then inside the platform Linux dir

      find . -type f -name '*.modinfo' -print0 |
          xargs -0 sed -i 's#Platforms/Windows#Platforms/Linux#g'
      

      Some don’t seem to show up in game still so I’ll experiment more this weekend if I get time and throw together a bash script that downloads all the windows depots and patches them.

      Edit3: for the ones not working it might be due to case sensitive file system. They use audio when looking for Audio
