- Download the game

- Try start the game and wait for it to fail
- Install protontricks from your favorite package manager
- Run
protontricks 244210 dotnet48to install dependencies - Once finished you can start the game, it will run no problem
For Flatpak users, replace step 4 and 5 with the following:
4. Install protontricks from FlatHub
5. Run flatpak run com.github.Matoking.protontricks 244210 dotnet48
UI is known to hurt performance in this game, but in Linux this is exagerated
I get ~150fps while driving without UI, add a couple of elements and it drops to ~60fps, go to pits and you're averaging ~13fps
It runs but Proton 5.0 simply damages performance a lot. I tried updating to newer or even GE versions without luck.
Some people have reported that using bottles / lutris they could get Proton GE 6.13 running, which comes with a performance boost but I'm yet to try that
Cannot play online
Buy it only if all you care about is the campaign and local multiplayer
EAC Cannot be instantiated
Borked until Easy Anti-Cheat gets fixed
Once yout get it to work there are no major issues, I'd blame the timeouts on my hardware
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) fails loading modules:
There seems to be an issue with glibc version 2.36. You can check your version by running ld --version in your terminal. The simplest workaround is to install Steam via flatpak which runs in a separate namespace and uses glibc 2.33, the hard one is to downgrade glibc and many other packages to 2.35 but it might break your system.
For me the previous didn't work since 1. I have glibc 2.34 and 2. even installing with flatpak didn't work, I'm guessing it has something to do with my GPU lacking vulkan.
This is what did:
- Install the game
- Configure proton experimental or any of the latest proton-ge (tried 7-25 and 7-33)
- Disconnect from the internet and hit play
- Reconnect as soon as I see the game open
- Wait a minute or two before clicking start so Steam can reconnect to its servers
- Press any key to play
GLHF!
Maps were slow to load sometimes causing timeouts and getting me kicked from the match. The best workaround was to host the game by myself or play maps Carnival & Mansion.
Took me ~8hs to figure out everything, it stressed me a lot and nearly missed playing with my friends
Platinum experience
I bought it, installed it and played it. Zero tinkering, zero bugs, zero performance issues.Since there's nothing to say about the Linux experience I'm gonna leave my game review.
It is far from being realistic, but it doesn't try to nor does it need to be. If you like rally and racing games this is a must try, it has all the elements of a top-notch rally game: a wide variety of cars, challenging scenarios, car damage, randomly generated tracks, moving spectators, and very good AI
The artstyle is so good I have screenshots as desktop background.
