Civilization V Forum

Newb question:
I have installed Civ V and Steam, but I do not have a menu entry. How do I get one set up?

Thanks!

I've had this problem with everything I've installed using CrossOver since the latest release. I have bypassed this issue by making sure to add a desktop icon to the application during installation.

I have the same issue. It seems limited to Steam games. When I installed SC2 I got a desktop icon. You have to run it though Steam anyway, might as well just run steam first them launch the game.

I have only had this problem with Steam. As a matter of fact, I don't even have a Steam menu entry.

Steam changed the way it creates entries in the Windows Start Menu. It is no longer creating shortcut (.lnk) files, it is creating .url files. CrossOver and Wine don't yet integrate .url files into the desktop environment menus (on the Mac, this is the Programs menu and folder). It's a known bug which we're tracking and hoping to get fixed.

You should be getting a menu entry for Steam itself, though. I did with a new Steam bottle I just created this morning.

Didn't see a Steam entry. Maybe it's because Steam was installed whilst trying to install Civ V. Should I reinstall Steam?

I got a Steam one, in this case, but have never had good luck getting the menu system to work. (getting links for Civ IV to auto load mods was never a success..).

I'd love an ability to "edit" a menu item, with the dialog that you use to "Run Command" - be able to pop a list of existing Menu Commands and edit the parameters, then explicitly save this configured command to the menu.

When I was messing with the above case for Civ IV, the "Save command to Programs Menu" button just didn't work...if that worked, and you could edit, delete, reconfigure existing menus items, that would be awesome..
