Native Support
Although this game has a Linux-native build available, Steam does not list it as having Linux support. This can happen if a game has an unofficial, unfinished, or unsupported build. You may need to force Steam to enable Proton for the game in order to run properly.

Couldn't remove the my previous report so doing this. I figured out the problem was they added battleye anticheat into the game now and I didn't have the proton battleye runtime enabled.

The game worked great up until a patch around April 2nd or 3rd. After that you can create a new character, play through the intro, but once you try to go to the main part of the game after the intro it goes to a black screen then kicks you back to the character select screen.

After the latest Dune: Awakening Playtest update (feb 13 2025) you don't need AMDVLK to run it.

Need to install AMDVLK. Even though running with RADV command it won't launch without AMDVLK installed for the reason user 'Commander Bald' explains.

AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV gamemoderun %command%
Had to install amdvlk to avoid vkCreateComputePipelines error. Interestingly it still works with AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV
It's still play testing, but it plays great. Any problems aren't linux related thus far

Playtest, Working exactly as it does in Windows

Assertion failed! Program: Z:\home\deck.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\Dune Awakaning Playstest\DuneSandbox\Binares\Win64\DuneSandbox-Win64-Shipping.exe File../src-wine/dlss/winevulkan/loader_thunks.c Line: 2775 Expression: "!status && "vkCreateComputePipelines""
I tried fixing it by installing lib32-vulkan-radeon and vulkan-radeon but not luck.
I think this assersion can be fixed, Is not the game that is causing this, rather some driver or kernel version but I haven't had the time to dig much more.

PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command%
Game is in playtesting.
Game does not download from Steam unless Proton Experimental is forced. Other than that, game appears to work flawlessly after 108 minutes of gameplay.
