Can’t play Civilization VI, but why?….
Hello everybody!
I’m currently experiencing an issue with Civilization VI (purchased during a free giveaway from the Epic Games Store). I installed the game through Heroic on my Mac using Wine - Whisky 2.5.0 as the Wine runner. The game installs and launches successfully — the intro video plays, and the main menu appears with the game’s title and a “Continue” button.
However, after that point, I’m stuck — clicking the “Continue” button does nothing. The cursor moves, but it’s as if the button is just a static image or non-functional UI element. I’ve already:
• Tried running in windowed mode at 1920x1080 (16:9),
• Verified that .NET dependencies and all required libraries are installed in the Wine prefix,
• Tried pressing around the button’s area — no response.
I suspect it may be an input issue (mouse/keyboard not being captured correctly), but I’d really appreciate any advice or workarounds.
Is this a known issue with this game or runner? Is there any log I could attach to help diagnose this further?
Thank you in advance for your time and any assistance.

It's a known issue with the game on Mac. We've managed to get past this screen by editing some config files, but then you're left with the main menu and no way to click on anything. Unfortunately it doesn't seem as though anyone is too interested in finding a solution for the problem (it's fixed on Linux through Proton).
