My launch command is soley for nvidia support on linux, game worked just fine though as download and play.
Really Enjoying the non-blocking save in the extra settings menu, avoids interrupting gameplay during auto-saves
Works perfectly, game is available natively and the devs are very proactive regarding Linux issues. Lovely game, lovely studio, the whole industry should aspire to be that good !
needs account but that's all
set up my own server and was able to play just fine
Works amazingly, I didnt had to any tinkering.
I cannot use the panel while the game is focused, which means the only way to switch windows is alt+tab but if there is not any tabs other then factorio, it forces me to close the game. Not a huge problem for me i usually keep a video&podcast playing in the background and dont have issues using alt tab anyway but its strange.
Played with a friend on windows11, we are in 45-50hours in so far, he is the host and i haven't had any problems.
Im writing this report for my desktop right now but, i also deleted windows 11 and installed linux mint on my laptop and game launches and runs no joke 10x times faster there. Overall game works perfectly fine for me.
This game runs much better on windows and doesnt deserve platinum at all. I have 1 4070tiS , 32GiB RAM , and an R7 and it ran like shit.
Never tinker this game with steam cloud enabled.
SAVES. DELETED. THANKS STEAM!
A lot of lag near large amounts of belts. Unoptimized.
EPIC FAILURE. 280+ Hour save file deleted when switching between native and proton to test performance.
DISABLE STEAM CLOUD when playing factorio and switching to see performance on native vs the translation layer. Your saves will be gone FOREVER as steam WIPES it from your drive with no external location for recovery or backups on the cloud. I visited my recycle bin, my google drive, steam account cloud storage view . ITS ALL GONE from booting the game twice
This is an EPIC FAILURE on steam/ factorios part .
Ill never use steam cloud AGAIN. FUCK this service.
Launches significantly faster than on Windows and I dont get <60UPS drops, just constant 60 (considering my base is bigger now), overall a superb experience
I noticed that the mouse cursor framerate is locked to the framerate of the game (ie 60FPS) — I'm not sure if that's a Factorio bug or a Linux bug. The game itself runs fine with the ingame Wayland graphics setting; however, the steam overlay will only work with the X11 ingame graphics setting. I also noticed an issue that screenshots captured in game could not be pasted elsewhere — this may be a Wayland issue.
Plays great. And jsut a fun game.
I had to use windows version with proton to have it play smooth, but theres a higher chance native would work for you.
good.
Its awful to setup with family share.
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland SDL_DYNAMIC_API=/usr/lib64/libSDL2.so SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -- %command%
If I am hosting the game and tab out, sometimes it forces people to disconnect after sometime, but im pretty sure this is a vanilla factorio issue on all platforms.
If on wayland, go to settings>Preferred Video Driver>Wayland and restart. Without that and the environment vars, the game may run in xwayland and your clipboard may not sync between wayland and x11. The game runs fine if that happens but you may not be able to paste blueprint strings which is a bit annoying. Gamescope isn't necessary and I've tested it without it and it works fine without it, but I just generally prefer it on all of my games. Apart from the clipboard issues, game runs perfectly.
Yo jugue de forma nativa sin agregar el Proton. Pero jugando con proton tambien pude! Queria avisar a aquel que tenga una notebook/laptop que haya jugado Factorio en W10 / W11 que podrá también en Ubuntu.
Just perfect OOTB
The default display mode is X11, switch to Wayland if you are on a DE that supports it.
Works better than the Windows version
No issues at all, been hosting server for friends for weeks without issue. Linux version has a feature called non-blocking save where it will be able to auto save without any interuptions whatsoever, our game saves every 5 minutes and unless you see the green progress bar in the top left corner you wouldnt even realize. 11/10
Works OOTB
Works perfectly
Works just fine.
Can be run as Wayland-native, just switch the preferred video driver in graphics settings to Wayland.
The Steam overlay doesn't load in Wayland clients but everything else still works fine.

This game is a master class in first class Linux support.
Audio on the system drops very briefly during launch, or during intense game activity. This is more likely a distro issue being triggered by the game.
Truly first class experience.
The factory must grow.
Works pefectly fine out of the box played for at least 20 hours without issues
Great
Both the Linux version and the Windows/Proton version work without any issues at all.
