Not sure if it’s your cup of tea, but Old School Runescape runs perfectly on Linux. I use the Runelite client too for better graphics, in game quest guides, etc and it runs great.
Installed in the last week. Ran into an issue starting the game on EndeavourOS using Lutris without steam but quickly resolved it by deleting some of the game files so it forced a redownload.
The graphics looked fine to me using the AMD 7900 XTX in all of the menus but when I got into a match most UI elements and cards were blacked out. Switching from “ultra” to any other graphic preset fixed the colors for me.
I did not saw your comment earlier lol. I don’t remeber the error but eventually got it working with another Proton version. Thank you for your interesting in helping me though <3
This is one thing I really like about Flatpak, never having to worry about missing or broken dependencies. Totally worth the bigger install size imo.
One thing to note if you go this route OP: If you use Steam Input, you’ll also need to install the steam-devices package (game-devices-udev on Arch), or setup udev rules manually. Flatpak still doesn’t let apps do this automatically as far as I’m aware, but it’s smooth sailing aside from that.
VRR works fine in Proton and on Plasma’s Wayland compositor. I don’t think the game supports VRR, as I saw reports of windows users lamenting that the game doesn’t support it either.
This is my experience too. However, there is nothing special a game needs to do to support VRR. So the fact that VRR works fine in this game under Windows but not Linux makes me think there is a bug in Proton, the compositor, or the GPU driver.
I can say with 100% certainty that VRR is working as expected under Windows 11 with my RTX 3080. I haven’t tested in Fedora yet.
I had issues with the Vulkan renderer on W11 as well. DX11 works fine for me on both W11 and Fedora38. Getting around 200FPS max settings at 1440p in the groove with 6800XT and 5800x3d. Same Kernel version.
I’m almost just as green as you, so if anyone else comments here you should probably follow their advice over mine, but the only distro I’ve tried with no monitor/Nvidia driver headaches has been Kubuntu. the kde desktop is still very familiar to windows by default and so far everything just works for me, might be worth a shot if you can’t get it figured out with mint.
edit: just thought of another advice
try switching from Wayland to x11, or vice versa. I’ve heard they can cause wonky things like this
I’m one of the 5 poor sobs who still plays darkorbit, and someone on github made a linux native launcher available as an appimage. I don’t recommend playing it though, because aside from the community becoming smaller and smaller, the game also runs like ass even on a high end system (not because of the unofficial app, but because of the game itself), and it has this issue with it taking up more and more ram over time, and it has been like that for over a decade now. Also a lot of server issues lately. The devs don’t seem very interested in improving the game.
I have played at least Albion Online and Wakfu that run natively without any trouble, and work quite great. Lots of other run quite great using Steam compatibility layer or Lutris.
