That’s weird, Half Life 2 had a Linux version noted in Steam and it runs fine. L4D didn’t have a Linux version noted and it didn’t give me the option to install it until I selected Proton. I don’t know, I’m very new to gaming on Linux so its probably user error.
Try cycling through other proton versions as well. I don’t really understand why some games will work on older versions and not newer ones, but it happens.
Yes, of course. But nothing helped really. There is a small difference between the used Proton version. With 8.25 GE i get 13 fps and with 6.4 GE1 i get 19 fps. Using PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1makes it more worse than ever, with only 5 fps.
Okay, I hadn’t seen it mentioned in the post and was hoping that was all it would take. I have played it before, and I can’t say I noticed any major issues like you’re describing. I run an AMD card though, so that may make the difference on Linux.
I wish I had some other ideas, but ideas I’ve found on ProtonDB were always my best option. I will say that I’ve noticed performance issues on some Unity games previously. Whether it’s from the engine or bad optimization I don’t know though.
Yes, I think the card is the weak point here or better the weak driver support. My next laptop will definitely have a AMD card. But I have absolutely no idea which one is good enough to handle actual games with full details and usable fps. I don’t expect Desktop like experience but at least 40 fps with full details in an actual game would be fine. Im not a professional gamer, but when I have the time to play, it should be fun and not frustrating. Mostly I do coding with VSCode and some database stuff in different flavors. So a not to small display is a must have.
Can you recommend a good GPU? For the rest I can do my own research…
Sorry, I thought I had responded to this, but obviously not!
I’m not sure what your price point would be, but my general recommendation would be to look at the recommended requirements of the most graphics intensive game you own or would like to play. Sometimes it lists an older card that isn’t available anymore, but it can give you a rough idea. Generally if you get a GPU that is a step higher than that you’ll be able to at least meet the minimum requirements for similar games for a while.
I don’t have a lot of experience with the entry level AMD cards, but I would guess that anything in the Radeon 6500 or 6600 bracket would be good for low to mid level gaming. They came out last year, so pricing might be a bit better. The Radeon 7600 is the entry level mobile card in the current generation so far, and would most likely be a good option as well. As I said though, I’m not that familiar with the cards in that bracket, so I could be off the mark.
Clicking the plus in lutris and selecting “install from exe” would let you download the battle.net launcher from the web. Other than that I’d set lutris to use the latest proton version maybe, instead of wine.
I’m not that knowledgeable on the subject either sadly, and haven’t tried to install wow specifically yet.
Tried that but I am now getting the following output:

I looked the error code up a bit, and someone suggested in an old post to run the following which I did:
Not sure if you’re sticking with World Tour specifically for your mods but Clone Hero has a native Linux build. There’s also rips of nearly every Guitar Hero and Rock Band game that you can add to it.
Thanks! While yeah, it’s good to have the Clone Hero, I actually enjoy it better when I also see the animations of the band/public behind to make it more amenable. So I still enjoy the old rusty classic, I guess.
