Both the native version and using proton are borked. It get's stuck in the loading screen and it doesn't get past that.
gamemoderun %command%
I made some changes following pcgamingwiki's instructions.
I edited P13Engine.ini and I changed bSmoothFrameRate to FALSE to unlock the fps (this can cause some issues).
Then in the same file I changed the value of MaxAnisotropy to 8.
I also tried to change the fov by editing the P13Input.ini file and in the [Engine.PlayerInput] section I added the line Bindings=(Name="L",Command="fov 150")
It worked but I decided to go against it, also 150 is way to high.
Tabbing out made the game squeeze to the top left of the screen while leaving the rest black. Some other person commented having the same issue with the window manager I use (DWM).
In the the middle of the nd cinematic it started freezing every few frames, pausing the game and resuming it solved the issue.
No tinkering is requiered to get the game working it's just an added bonus
I'm not sure if the problems that I had were from the game itself or from playing it on linux
PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%
Some audio like mines exploading would not play
In some scenes blinking artifacts
In the last level the game slowed down to 3 fps at random intervals. I had to restart the game to fix the issue because it was happening more often.
I installed a mod to have better performance in the level ascension, it's a common issue even on windows and the mod worked perfectly. I also wanted to install a mod called "crysis enhance edition" but couldn't get it to work, not sure if it's a linux issue.
PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%
Coming back from tabbing out of the game the screen is black
I tried to run the game with "PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_NO_D3D11=1 %command%" but the framerate dropped to 10 fps. Just setting PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command% worked fine.
As long as I plug the controller before I launch the game it runs perfectly.
I have to plug the controller before launching the game or it wont detect it, otherwise it works fine.
It's literally install and play, that simple.
There is no audio. I'm not sure if it's an issue with proton or that the game has no sound.
You need an alternative launcher from github, change launch parameters and run a command in the terminal.
mangohud gamemoderun %command% -nosplash -world=empty -skipintro -nolauncher
If I move the game slows down to a crawl but it might be because I installed the game in an old hdd and in windows I had it in an ssd
I need to do more testing to verify that the slowdown is from the hdd and not from running it on linux.
Run this command to change vm.max_map_count:
echo 'vm.max_map_count=1048576' | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/dayz.conf
The bugs I had are most likely due to my window manager (dwm) but it should run fine for most people.
The game kept glitching at the beginning, setting it to floating fixed it. Changing this a launch option in Steam completely got rid of any issues:
./DDLC.sh # %command%
Tabbing out of the game made it shrink to the top right of the screen while the left space was black. Changing the launch options like described above fixed it.
I had to run this command to be able to view the videos: protontricks 368370 ffdshow l3codecx winxp directshow
I tried to get it to work but I can't. I will ask for a refund.
DXVK_HUD=full PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 gamemoderun %command% -skipintro
WINEPREFIX=".local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/244850/pfx" winetricks --force -q dotnet48
I tried everything that other people have said and nothing works. The menu has huge audio and video stutters and I can't create a game. Pressing start just makes a window appear for a split second and then nothing.
There might be a way to make it work but it's not worth it for me. I rather refund it.
The base game, Afterbirth and Afterbirth+ are Linux native but Repentance isn't. Luckily the game and mods work without having to do anythig.
