Civilization IV - Shadows and Lights constantly flickering

Running Ubuntu 24.04. i7 4710MQ - HD4600 integrated graphics. The game runs fine apart from constant flickering of shadows and lighting. I've tried every runner available and every graphical option and it persists. Any help would be appreciated 🙂

MESA-INTEL: warning: Haswell Vulkan support is incomplete

You're on a 10 year old iGPU. There are limits to what that hardware can do You could try disabling DXVK, as far as I remember the game still runs with WineD3D

It ran flawlessly on windows. Thanks - I will try disavbling DXVK

Well, you're using the DirectX graphics API on Windows. That's not a thing on Linux, so you have to use the next best thing (Vulkan) and translate DirectX to Vulkan (that's what DXVK does). Some graphics cards don't support Vulkan that well however, so translating to OpenGL (an older API) sometimes works better (DirectX -> OpenGL is what WineD3D does)

Disabling DXVK fixed it, thank you
