Everything is working extremely good for me. Installed the game with Proton 4.11-12 but it crashed on launch. Then installed Proton 5.0-2 and launched the game, it updated and then started without problems. Played single player and everything works, but sync problems on multi player (game crashes as soon as it starts). This fix will solve the problem https://www.protondb.com/users/793747973
Now I have good performance!
FOR MULTIPLAYER DISCONNECT PROBLEM ---> Replace "ucrtbase.dll". Install cabextract and then follow this guide https://www.protondb.com/users/793747973 I did not have to remove the movie folder.
FOR LOW FPS ---> You have to enable V-sync in the graphics settings of the game.
Was on Solus before and got the problems many are talking about, game freezes for a couple of seconds the fast forwards until it catches up. Did a clean install of Manjaro KDE, updated everything, I auto installed proprietary drivers in the hardware configurator. Then I did this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4vS_K4PkX4 (only for laptops with both Intel/Nvidia graphics). Everything is super fluid and I am really happy that I can play this game again!
--launcher-skip
To fix The Witcher 3 DX12 crashes on Linux (Steam/Proton), edit launcher-configuration.json in the game's install folder, changing "fallback": "DirectX 12" to "DirectX 11". Also, add --launcher-skip to Steam launch options.
The Fix:
Locate the launcher-configuration.json file. The easiest way to find it is by:
- Opening your Steam client.
- Going to your Library.
- Right-clicking on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt -> Properties.
- Navigating to the "Installed Files" tab (as shown in the image).
- Clicking "Browse...".
- This will open the game's main installation directory (e.g., ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/The Witcher 3/). The launcher-configuration.json file is located directly in this folder.
- Edit the file, open launcher-configuration.json with a text editor.
Change the fallback setting.
- Find the line that says: "fallback": "DirectX 12", And change it to: "fallback": "DirectX 11",
- Save the file.
Set Steam Launch Options to skip the launcher.
- In your Steam Library, right-click on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt -> Properties.
- Under the "General" tab, locate the "Launch Options" field.
- Type in: --launcher-skip
After saving the file and setting the launch option, the game will now default to DirectX 11 and bypass the launcher, eliminating the crashes I experienced with DirectX 12.
