[BNW] Game freezes on loading screen using Wine

[satorarepo]

I'm trying to run Civ 5 on Wine in order to play the Vox Populi mod on my mac. I did manage to enable the mods, but when I start a game, it gets stuck forever in the loading screen.

Now, this is the second game I run on Wine and I know it can be a bit slow. I'm talking about the game being really stuck; I waited for more than 5 minutes and nothing.

My computer is a 2016 macbook running macOS 10.12. It has an Intel Iris Pro, no dedicated video card. The default Civ 5 installation (without wine) runs quite smoothly. Do you guys know if there is anything I can do to solve this problem?

Thanks!

Did you ever figure this out? I am having almost exactly the same problem and have found no solutions, though I don't even think I've managed to get the mods to work despite running the Vox Populi .exe in winebottle.
