Step 1. Find and open in your game directory rpg_core.js file: Steam -> steamapps -> common -> Fear & Hunger -> www -> js -> rpg_core.js
Step 2. Go to line 1872, and replace:
if (this._skipCount === 0) { with
if (this._skipCount <= 0) {
frame drops
Game crashes a ton
Screen freezing and overall crashing
This game is most likely unstable due to RPG maker code. You must go in and change config files for stability.
Fullscreen and resizing would cut out sections of the window instead of adding black bars (which I believe is the default on Windows)
./nw %command%
The game wasn't working under proton, but after my last report the user spidax postes the fix that solved all my problems, the game is perfectly playable now, i don't know why the developers didn't implemented this from the start, its just a simple file change.
Works with proton and possible to play natively with additional launch options.
Can run without proton with launch options "./nw %command%" More info here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2976566490
Game opens but freezes after menu with a resolution error
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
Mouse input doesn't work either. Opening with gamescope doesn't fix the resolution crash. Maybe it's a Wayland issue, haven't tested it on X.org.
Changed controlls to comunity layout to be able to fast use torch and lucky coin
Sometimes you are unable to change targeted bodyparts in combat, but restart helps
Framerate is dropping at random places (indoors mostly)
Sometimes game is crashing after death with error, but thats not big of a deal
Quite rare but game screen stops updating, you can still hear sounds and use controlls, but thats unplayable, only restart helps. And in the game like this is quite frustraiting.
The game has major slowdown and constant crashes barely half an hour into the game.
FPS drops out of nowhere, with no visible cause.
Game FPS drops very hard at times, leading to a complete game crash, which requires going into the Steam menu and closing the game manually.
The game has major slowdown issues, frequent crashes, and the FPS drops for no discernable reason. This is not playable on Steam Deck.
Playable on Linux
Some areas in the game cause fps drops, especially some stages at the end of the game.
Occasional crashes happening at random. This seems to happen when playing on Windows as well.
Despite the fps drops in some areas, the game can be completely played from start to finish on Linux.
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 gamescope -- %command%
without PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 the game render is heavely problematic. using PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 fixes it
game framerate often goes down to 30 fps when a lot is happening on screen.
the game is know to crash even on windows.
using PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% will make the game playable without further modification.
While the vast majority of the game runs fine certain areas drop down to single digit frames. This is especially the case for big open areas. From what I gather the framerate issues are caused by certain visual effects like fire and a certain green-hue effect near the end of the game.
I cannot say if this is Linux/Proton related or a persevering performance issue.
The game has several minor visual and gameplay bugs that may or may not be related to Linux/Proton.
The stuttering is going on at random times and the crashes are rare but there. That is enough for people to not be able to focus on the game
every time you open the menu to use a torch there is a huge stutter after that last for a while
Functions fine, performance is not stellar though
For an RPGmaker game it runs pretty poorly, drops to 40-50 fps when walking around. No graphics setting to tinker with for a smoother experience either
overall, works slower than the windows version. lags on some maps are also present in the windows version, not due to proton
Everything works, except fullscreen.
Small performance hits on large maps.
It works without tricks in my notebook, however, the game opens in a 800x600 window, being possible to maximize, but I couldn't apply a fullscreen mode. The game is stuttering. Xbox 360 controller works.
