Too unstable for my taste. I don't think anyone would enjoy being stuck and not being able to continue because of the game unstability.
I can't continue playing, because it's consistently crashing in one of battles.
The game plays fine, but I'd avoid it because of this: CVE-2018-20817
When playing the game I did not have any audio issues. When watching cutscenes I had big audio problems while the game was loading next chapter in the background. Sometimes the audio did not play or was cracking. Other issue is that, when playing the game and in-game audio was fine, it was borking sounds from other sources like browser audio. Annoying.
I am surprised how well it plays, you can enjoy the game on linux, even with mentioned slight audio issues. I played only 1 hour, because I decided it was not worth my time after all, but this is not because of they game was running on linux.
It works like native. Really good.
Game sometimes was not remembering the key mappings correctly in my HOTAS>
Unplayable when you can't shoot and you are dropping 15 fps here and there all the time
the game was dropping 30 fps every time I made a shot with a crossbow
It's still much better experience than on proton 4.11
It's good, but not good enough. I could just play Horizons and ignore Odyssey content, but the problems with audio make it unusable for me.
In the ship, the FPS is fine, however when trying to play Odyssey and accessing stations, the FPS drops dramatically. I am not sure what is going on, as steam hud is showing me 40+ fps, but it feels lie 15-20 fps at most.
This is the only game stopping me from ditching windows and is so close to being great experience on Linux, yet so far away :(
Had to install pavucontrol
At the beginning the audio was cracking, but after installing pavucontol changing the codec to SBC and then back to aptX the problem went away.
Sometimes I have to unplug and plug again my Thrustmaster T16000M, other than that it works like a charm
The performace is actually as good or better as Windows. Odyssey from time to time can drop frames for split second, even with this hardware. On Linux Mint I found it happens less frequently than Windows 10 and generally speaking I have stable 60 fps in 1440p both in space, outposts and on the ground. The performance is great and I generally have really good time playing on linux, other than the first hiccup with sound and sometimes having to reconnect HOTAS at the start of the session. It's much better experience than my last time and I am considering ditching Windows for good this time.
I had to disable ENBoost and OSAllocators
Overall enjoyabe experience, the perfomance issues that I mentioned are not frequent. It's enjoyable experience.
In start menu there is long green bar at the bottom looks like anomaly. It does not show up in the main game.
Sometimes the game cannot keep up stable 60 fps and drops to 40 fps. It usually happens when running in city or location with a lot of items (like inside buildings) however, most of the time it's good experience.
Apart from occasional fps drops (not in any fights, so that won't be a problem) the game runs smoothly and without any issues
Ocasionally I had fps drops
This is an update: As others say, copy dlls from Bin/Win64Shared to Bin/Win64. Then runs fine, around 60 fps on medium/high.
The older the trylogy game, the better experience, but overall I was supprised how good it run.
when HOTAS was connected to my PC, in mass effect 1 the came was always going up, the game was slow, unresponsive and wasn't playable. Unplugging HOTAS solved the issue.
Given the age of the game, mass effect 1 was sometimes not running as smooth as it should, but it was still playable and enjoyable. Mass effect 2 was better but I found one or two places where performace wasn't top notch. Mass effect 3 was running the best and was smooth all the time.
EA app is the worst part of the experience. Sometimes it does not start and forces you to start and stop game from steam (starting the game from steam starts ea launcher, which then starts the game). I had to set proton to experimental to make the new ea launcher work. Other than that, the experience is great and I recommend the game to every linux user.
sometimes the game had a problem focusing back to the game controls after alt tabing to browser
in 2 hours of gameplay the game crashed my whole system reliably every 20-30 minutes. This was on default linux mint 21.3 kernel version 5.15. Updating to 6.8 fixed this issue (as far as I can tell, I did not want to risk it past 2 hour window). I have no problems plaing other games on 5.15 kernel nor stability problems, so it's clearly something that game is doing wrong.
Does not even start. Not working on Linux at all
After changing the name of the launcher and renaming Bannerlord_Native.exe to the name of the launcher I managed to start see the login screen, but after few second the game crashes.
Very good experience. Just works.
The slight performance problems I marked, sometimes happened when mining copper. It happened one or two times. Otherwise it was pretty great.
28-30 fps given my hardware seem low.
Even worse performance on default settings
If you have more than one display and like switching between game and other open programs, you won't enjoy it. The game will possibly crash.
Native version of the game was opening up in the middle of 4 of my screens (1/4 of window was on each screen). Didn't matter as the game could't run natively anyway. On proton the game can be played.
The game crashes when opening steam overlay or changing focus from game to browser. I didn't play this game for long, but I had 2 crashes because of it.
Proton version works better than native, but still too unstable in multi monitor setup.
