I'm trying to play Civ 5 and Civ 6 on my Chromebook. I installed Ubuntu Linux using Crouton. I am currently using Xenial Ubuntu. Every time I try to play Civ 5 it's icon pops up for half a second then disappears.
I'm wondering if it has something to do with the system requirements and if I can fix it so I can play. Also, I'm a beginner with Linux so any command-line help to fix this problem will be greatly, greatly appreciated.
