I ran arch for years then Manjaro. I had zero issues running doom eternal except if I switched workspaces then back. I’d have to kill -9 the app and relaunch. Was enough to make me dual boot to beat that game. I’ve been running Manjaro since, because I don’t have the time like I used to to fuck around with settings. I still prefer Linux overall as my daily drive though. It’s not a slow, buggy, ad ridden pile of shit. Imo windows is so buggy and slow since like 8 or 10
If you own a legit copy of the game, find a crack to remove the protection, or download an already cracked version. You paid for it, and should be allowed to run it how you want.
Not always. It’s largely going to depend on the game. GE is a tweaked version fork. I’ve had some games run fine with either version. But I’ve also had a mix of some running better with GE, some without.
I forget the name, but there’s a GUI tool now (check your package manger) that makes the setup really easy. Though the manual setup is about as complicated as creating a folder and pasting the GE file in it and restart steam.
An easy way to download and maintain them is by using the ProtonUp app. I personally keep Experimental by default in Steam and switch to GE for specific titles when necessary, as Experimental hotfixes can roll out quicker than GE updates. Some people argue that it is better to use GE because he updates DXVK etc. to the latest versions but you can also opt into the bleeding edge branch of Experimental in Steam by searching for Proton in your library, right click and go into its properties and then to Betas.
Realistically just use what you prefer. The differences between distros, even when it comes to performance, are very small when it comes to gaming. The most important things IMO are good Wayland support, stability, and consistent updates.
Thanks for sharing, I haven’t picked up Lethal Company yet but I know some other games like Shadow of Doubt use the same mod loader and I bet this will work great for them.
…environment variable in Lutris. Found in the Codeweavers forums for MacOS but many in Lutris Discord confirms it works without having to mess with the directories.
I’ve had it working for months and just today it wouldn’t launch the game from lutris so don’t feel bad. I’m going to give bottles a try tomorrow, but when I get back to the computer I’ll share my settings.
I missed that you were running a private server vanilla client so probably not apples to apples - I did get retail wow w/battle.net running in bottles in about 15 minutes with zero messing around though, thanks to all the people that brought that up as an option!
Yea, it ended up not working for wow private, but it should work for retail/cpassic because battle.net worked almost out of the box with bottles. I only needed to change its runner to caffe. After that I could install my other battle.net games (diablo3 and hearthstone) just fine, so I assume wow would work too.
Ah, this game. I love to pull it out whenever I am feeling bored and dried out by my other games. It’s an amazing and low resource intensive game. So to say, I like to zip across the map at subsonic speeds more than actually playing it haha. But I still get the sniper rifle whilst doing that and practice some sick ferrari headshots.
Game feels great. I just wish the people I knew who also played weren’t across the pond so I could actually get a kill once in a while (being the odd man out, if we play together my ping is 300-500ms).
You have SPLYAT I mean SPLAT to play with. But he usually plays on other side of the pond server(Feris) with 120ms ping. Also he is usually in Relax discord server with Xord and Allotropy.
