Works on Steam Deck, borked on Desktop?
Kalypso launcher doesn't seem to cause any issues, game loads to main menu with no issues, intro cutscene for the first campaign mission works, however once the gameplay starts, the game world does not render properly.
Tried Proton Experimental and multiple older versions on Desktop, none seemed to resolve the issue.
Interestingly, the issue is not present on Steam Deck.
Black screen
I'm able to install and launch the game, but the main menu seems to be blacked out when the window is focused. If I alt-tab and the window loses focus, I can see the menu, but once I select the game window, it blacks out again.
I tried Proton-GE as well as some gamescope launch options, couldn't get it going.
%command% --use-d3d11
If you switch the game to fullscreen, it will work initially, but the next time you launch the game it will freeze on a black screen. Do not use fullscreen, or remember to switch the game back to windowed or borderless windowed before you stop playing. Otherwise you will have to delete the "user_settings.config" file located at "/home//.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/553850/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Arrowhead/Helldivers2/
No issues, no tinkering. A great RTS experience on Linux
Played the first few campaign missions with zero issues
No technical issues - just game issues.
No issues aside from the long queue times as a 5-stack, which is odd considering I'm typing this right after Blizzcon 2023.
mangohud OBS_VKCAPTURE=1 %command%
Not sure if it was because of my mangohud or OBS capture, but the game would close a minute or so into the tutorial on Proton Experimental and Proton 8.0-4 for me. Once I switched to Proton 7.0-6, I was able to complete the tutorial and continue the game.
Stormgate closed beta - good so far
First day of the beta weekend, already played a few matches, no issues.
Do not set the "Object" graphic setting above "Medium"
Setting the "Object" graphic setting to "High" or "Ultra" results in textures not loading. On my hardware, "Ultra" was selected by default. I kept all graphics settings at "Ultra", but turned the "Object" setting down to "Medium".
I have been playing on Windows since launch and the game has been having stutter / desync issues due to the servers. Not a Linux issue, but figured I'd mention it so that people don't think something is wrong on Linux when this happens.
