Linux Gaming Thread

Anyone play FFXIV? I've been wanting to swap over to a Linux distro for the long haul but I mostly play FFXIV, is the Lutris installer for it any good?

People seem to be able to run the Steam version with Proton.

If you don't have the Steam version, you could still add it to Steam as a non-Steam game and tell Steam to run it with Proton anyway. You can also use Proton outside of Steam, supposedly, but I've never done it.

None

Red Eclipse 1.6. It will be called Blue Nebula on the future since it's getting forked atm

Well this looks neat and I never heard of it, so thanks.

>just werkz for me
Same. I don't know what the anti-Linux people are always complaining about.

looks amazing, thanks for bringing it to my attention

Yeah,np. They are still ironing out bugs and fixing some balance problems before pubishing it on the repositories and doing marketing work, so don't expect more than 8 players on a high time for a couple of months

Shadow Empire, Brigandor and Summer memories

careful, one of those games infected my wine with a miner. good thing its easy to scrub a wine prefix.

I just wanna play DS3 bros ;-; steam with any version of Proton or steamplay doesn't work, lutris won't run it, can't get it going through wine. Same with pretty much all my other games

because most games dont "just work". a month ago a new game came out - Windows only. didnt work on wine so I had to boot into Windows VM to play it. week ago I did found out how to make it work on Linux but it involved multiple winetrick patches and a regedit. most normal people dont wanna bother with it.

been maining linux for a decade now. It's amazing that we've got our own steam client and Proton now.

Last couple of months i've played:
> killing floor 2
> ff7 and ff8
> persona 4 golden
> path of exile (though has a lot of issues since last league)

Most (>50%) games do "just work" in my experience. That level of tweaking certainly isn't typical in any case.

well, I stumbled on tops of games which dont. Even those with supposedly "native" client like Tropico 5

It's pretty good for new Japanese hentai games too.

codeweavers devs got eac to work in wine recently. can't wait for muh games to finally run on loonix

I have some games with broken Linux ports but fortunately their Windows versions work with Proton.

Some people have reported that the Windows version of Tropico 5 works with Proton.

But at least one of them is also saying the native Linux version works, so maybe it depends on exactly what GPU driver you're using.

the future of wangblows looks bleak. yotld 2020

You all use Manjaro?

I do

steamOS

its retarded that you have to do that in the first place.
>Some people have reported that the Windows version of Tropico 5 works with Proton.
it works, but I get a weird visual bug with water.

>so maybe it depends on exactly what GPU driver you're using.
no its a issue of dev incompetence. I know the fix to it but its a huge hassle with installing a very specific version of a library and forcing the game to run with it. and support wont help you because "only ubuntu is supported"

Arch.
