The latest update broke the game, however the issue has been fixed on Proton Experimental Bleeding Edge, it should reach the regular Proton Experimental soon.
To use Proton Experimental Bleeding Edge you need to:
- Search in your library for "Proton Experimental". It is listed like a game.
- Go to properties
- Go to “Betas”
- Select the option: "Bleeding-edge".
- Force the game to use the proton version "Proton Experimental".
You can't tell this game was not made for linux
The only thing that linux users may be missing out is support for raytracing and similar effects, but the base game itself runs perfectly (It's still cyberpunk) on linux.
Update 2.0 seems to be working fine on Linux
The game showed controller buttons on the UI, even if no controller was connected
System requirements have increased considerably for 2.0, but that does not seem to translate to worse performance in practice, at least not on Linux
The only thinkering needed to get the game running is switching proton versions, other than that, it runs just fine.
The library scene in particular had terrible performance compared to the rest of the game
Trying to preview upgrades on the shop caused the game to crash, switching from proton experimental to version 7.X fixed this issue.
Performance can be improved by switching from DX12 to DX11
Crashing when previewing items on the store, this can be fixed by switching to proton 7
Even though it has some minor issues, this game can confortably be played on Linux by anyone.
Many minor graphics related issues, Anisotropic filtering does not always worg, MSAA sometimes causes trees to not have leaves, Rectangular artifact around the players shadow. All of these issues can be fixed by tweaking graphical settings, but what triggers them seems to be random. Some of these issues seem to also exist on Windows.
On Ultra settings, when looking at too much grass there are frame drops, almost half the usual framerate.
Graphics settings did not get applied when using fullscreen mode, switching to borderless windoed mode fixed it. This issue seems to also exist on Windows.
I finished the story on Ultra settings to make this report, so there's likely not many bugs I missed.
gamemoderun %command% --use-d3d11
The game does not open if you have a recent kernel and don't have Rebar and +4g decoding. You can enable them or rollback to linux 6.1
No longer works, no idea why
EA games seem to stop working for no aparent reason
Sometimes the EA app does not seem to work, verifying file integrity and switching proton versions back and forward eventually allows the game to start. But eventually it breaks itself again.
I'm honestly not sure why this game is so cursed, even windows users have trouble getting controller support to work.
For Linux, just keep trying to start the game and eventually it should work, it may take about 5 attempts until it starts. Some newer versions of Proton also get an error "This game has not yet released", try other proton versions, for me ProtonGE 8 and Proton 7 worked.
RADV_DEBUG=nobinning,zerovram %command%
Some transparent items such as glass bottles don't have proper ligthing, this can be fixed with RADV_DEBUG=zerovram
the RADV driver frequently and consistently crashes the game, this can be fixed with RADV_DEBUG=nobinning
After fixing the problems specific to the Mesa RADV driver, the game works perfectly
If you exit fullscreen mode using a keyboard shortcut, the game cannot restore the propper resolution, you will need to close the game to fix. Using borderless windowed mode seems to fix the problem.
Works wonderfully out of the box, you just need to disable mangohud, as it seems to cause problems with this game, no idea why
MANGOHUD=0 %command%
