Linux tutorial how to get this game to work on linux. the game is not starting is caused by the missing d3d8.dll library and 2gb ram limit fix patch that is required for any windows version newer then windows XP also. You need to add it manually in protontricks https://www.protondb.com/app/3960 First you need to apply the blurry textures patch download it from here: http://hawkdawg.com/rrt/rrt3/rrt3_main.php make sure you override the engine.cfg file in the /Steam/steamapps/common/Shattered Union/Data/Configuration/ folder Then you start protontricks from your linux start menu and add d3d8.dll manually to the wine prefix. select steam app shattered union 3960 (click)---> OK click select the default wineprefix (click)----> Ok click Run winecfg (click) -----> Ok when the wine configuration opens click the Library tab type d3d8.dll (click) ----> add (click) -----> Ok
you are limited to the resolutions supported by the game it dous not support 16:9 only 4:3 resolutions. you can play in window mode or use gamescope to fix this.
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
The game used to work well without any custom settings however after the recent updates the game became very slow running in default DXVK with 5-15 fps dips so i changed the settings to PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% and this fixed the FPS issue. FPS is now good and the game is very playable. If you experience the same slowness with DXVK try these settings to fix it.
