The game is in a complete state of disrepair (at least with my hardware) and I can't recommend anyone play it
On a few occasions the mouse just stopped working
Crashes can corrupt offline saves as it isn't a save it is a Save State.
Game randomly and without understanding would drop to a slide show until restart. (In Third Person)
The game crashes regularly and spectarularly. Sometime requireing a restart before anything else will run. As in other games would crash because of the crashes Nightingale had.
Avoid it if you have my hardware configuration.
Twice I managed to lock up the game by pressing two shortcut keys at once that would open different menus. No idea if it's a bug in game or linux related, but on windows I haven't seen it yet and also it's not easy to replicate on Linux either...
I did have a few more issues on the Proton version Steam suggested, such as rare crashes, but with Glorious Eggroll it works just fine.
PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr11 VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_1 VKD3D_SHADER_MODEL=6_6 mesa_glthread=true gamemoderun %command% -ignore-windows-system-certs
VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_1 important, 12_2 show me assertation error "!status && vkCreateGraphicsPipelines"
VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_2 VKD3D_SHADER_MODEL=6_6 %command%
Had to update my earlier report, was a little premature. The =dxr command in Launch was the magic bullet for me. The frame-jerkiness, choppy sound and Lumen shading errors all cleared up and my frame-rate shot up by 20% and so far the game hasn't crashed! Also in-game settings tip: Set Performance Mode on, then turn on Lumen to Ultra Quality; the game still looks fantastic! (then bit-by-bit add whatever else you like/your system can handle)
Feels like game needs more dev time to sort issues. but workarounds make it stable enough to play and it's pretty great from there.
VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_2 VKD3D_SHADER_MODEL=6_6 %command% -ignore-windows-system-certs
'Balanced' shadows are very glitchy. Setting them to Quality smoothed them out
Before I put the launch commands in it crashed a few times in the game proper (the tutorial is stable). Not just the game but crashed Steam as well (The OS was unnaffected). But using the commands I've now been able to play as normal, and won't be refunding it.
Good looking, unusual and fun; shame about the technical shortfalls but hopefully those'll get smoothed out as development progresses out of EA.
DXVK_HUD=full __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 DRI_PRIME=1 DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti" %command%
After a crash, the game sometimes starts me back at the beginning of the game. I still have my items from the latest point the game saved, & the world is mostly the same, but I just have to move back through the starting area, & make my way back to my camp.
For the DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti" part of the launch settings, it's important to change the "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti" to the name of your GPU, so unfortunately, the settings I used aren't exactly copy-paste.
The game is enjoyable, but there's only so many times Linux can crash in its entirety before the game loses its luster.
%command% -ignore-windows-system-certs
The game will not only crash, it will force Linux to restart entirely.
I'd look forward to anyone presenting a potential explanation or solution for this.
Does not start.
Game does not start at all, tried experimental, GE, the works, steam says I'm in game then does not start.
Didn't work for me
-ignore-windows-system-certs
Tried all the tinkering steps that I could and could not get the game to run. Got as far as the loading screen which hung for several minutes once and that was about it. Sad!
no launch commands needed
After the boring stuff in the terminal the game works great. Both online and the newly implemented offline single player!
DXVK_HUD=full __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 DRI_PRIME=1 DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti" %command%
To get past the black screen with sound/ black screen crash I had to do some tinkering with the dxvk stuff. I typed
vulkaninfo | grep '^GPU id'
in order to get a list of my devices. Then I selected the one I wanted to use.
GPU id : 0 (AMD Radeon Graphics (RADV RENOIR)):
GPU id : 1 (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 T
GPU id : 2 (llvmpipe (LLVM 17.0.6, 256 bits)):
That's how to figure out what to put in LaunchOptions.
Then you have to fix signing in with the crypt.dll thing. protontricks and winetricks isnt in my package manager so i went to github. paraphrasing someone else:
Install and run "Protontricks" via the package manager if you can (or github). You will enounter a lot of errors, but just go with the flow and OK/YES your way through it. Select the game Nightingale from the list when you're finally presented it. Select the standard prefix. Select Install Windows DLL. Select the package "crypt32" with the name "MS crypt32" and install with "OK".
fullscreen isn't implemented/an option in the menu
The game will launch but have a black screen without the launch options if you have AMD-APU (5700G) and 4070 dedicated or similar. Fixing the DXVK stuff is the key to fixing the black screen or displaying on the wrong screen issue.
I also played this initially with GE9.7 during troubleshooting and it works but it worked with vanilla as well in the end, so I would just do the minimum.
It's a better idea to send your signin credentials encrypted obviously via system certificates, even if it's M$, so install the .dll and try to avoid the no-certs workaround if you can.

fullscreen isn't even an option

They chose my wrong system - I'm on my Rocky Linux with APU and NVIDIA card, not my MANJARO with CPU and AMD card.

doesn't work with nvidia.
mangohud %command% -ignore-windows-system-certs
When loading a game in hybrid graphics mode, the game runs from the AMD iGPU. In the "discrete graphics only" mode, the screen blinks at startup and the game crashes. In the terminal, Steam writes at that moment:
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 149 () Minor opcode of failed request: 4 Serial number of failed request: 560 Current serial number in output stream: 570
-ignore-windows-system-certs
The command "-ignore-windows-system-certs" seems to be required at the moment. Other than that, the game runs smoothly
mangohud %command% -ignore-windows-system-certs
I have tried to install the suggested DLL of "crypt32" but this doesn't seem to work. Before I do this the game launches but stuck in "conneting to Steam" loop. Once install with protontricks it fails to even launch. It just says "playing" then suddenly it stops and closes like it crashes or something. Steps bellow.
- Must run the game once, and install and/or run protontricks.
- Select Nightingale fromt he GUI list and hit "OK".
- Select the default wineprefix and hit "OK".
- Install a Windows DLL or component, and hit "OK".
- Find in the list "crypt32"/"MS crypt32", tick that option and hit "OK".
- You might run into errors and have to wait a bit untill a new windows comes up. It's downloading the crypt32.
Playable FPS, but when it dips it dips low.
Unless the the ProtonTricks works for you, the only other option is the launch options for mangohud %command% -ignore-windows-system-certs which does work but not recommend.
If it's your type of game it sould be ok to play with as much bug as on windows, since it's still early access. HDR was also crashing on win
VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json %command% DXVK_ASYNC=1 %command% WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 %command% DXVK_FRAME_RATE=144 %command% mangohud %command%
Some shadow may not be drow correctly but some were too on windows
the mangohud part of the command may not be mandatory for you.
mangohud %command% -ignore-windows-system-certs
i was not able to run game under amdvlk drivers, it would freeze and crash desktop after charicture selection screen so installing vulkan-radeon drivers fixed that issue, luanch option %command% -ignore-windows-system-certs needs to be add or better yet installing ms-cypt32 to the proton prefix
mangohud %command% -ignore-windows-system-certs
Without the launch options, it just doesn't want to authenticate with Steam
-ignore-windows-system-certs
I just changed the launch option, and the game authenticate with steam.
Runs great on low settings(only needed due to my hardware) looks really good even at these settings and I didn't really any lagging
%command% -ignore-windows-system-certs
I did a lot of tinkering with this to get it to work and then ended up not needing anything other than the launch option to get it to run everyting fine with proton 8.0-5.
- inital run with launch options '%command% -ignore-windows-system-certs' complained that I didn't have directX 12 compatability, which is not true for my system.
- first I tried to force it to use directX12 through launch commands worked mostly but threw errors and crashed in menu.
- second tried to force directX12 through vulkan with launch commands 'VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_2 VKD3D_SHADER_MODEL=6_6 %command% -ignore-windows-system-certs' this worked but now wine threw an error from its c++ library "!status && "vkCreateGraphicsPipelines"". Well ignoring it and clicking the game window worked and the game got all the way to loading into a world except never left the loading screen even after by the audio I could tell it should be in game.
- I finally had the thought that I should check if I needed to update my video drivers just in case. so I ran an update on my linux system and many things needed an update but the important ones here are my amdgpu drivers and wine 9.2-1
- After that update I tried runing it again with just the original launch options '%command% -ignore-windows-system-certs' and it worked perfectly, I even now noticed that I had a backround environment in the character selection screen that I didn't even know was missing in my other run with the forced directX12 through vulkan. Game runs quite well now too. 90% sure the wine update fixed it.
* TLDR - if the game says you don't have directX12 make sure you're wine is at least 9.2-1 that and the launch options should fix everything.
Game launches, I have sound, but nothing on screen (no video output at all)
Tried all of the previously suggested ones (older than my post) but none worked.
Tried installing the MS cert but did not work.
I tried Proton 8-05, GE-Proton8-32, Experimental, Hotfix, to no avail. I tried all the launch parameters everyone suggested (before my post). I tried installing the MS cert with protontricks, but did not have success. Game launches, I can hear music, but I see nothing on screen. Does not seem to send video output to the monitor.
Unable to connect
Authenticating with Steam. Please wait... Login failed, A network error occurred. ID
Network is fine; runs fine on Windows.
%command% -ignore-windows-system-certs
Used Proton 8.0.5 -- flickering went away and was stable. Experimental and GE would crash within minutes
Game will not login without the launch flags.
Installed but nothing...
%command% -ignore-windows-system-certs
Installed fine. Tried all sorts of Command Lines as list here by others. Basically pressing Play or clicking desktop shortcut, has Steam showing Launching but nothing happens...no sound; no game window...just sits there without crashing. Stops instantly when Cancel clicked in Steam.
gamemoderun %COMMAND%
Install and run the application "Protontricks" via the package manager of your own distribution. Select the game Nightingale from the list. Select the standard prefix. Select Install Windows DLL. Select the package "crypt32" with the name "MS crypt32" and install with "OK".
Some recommend using the parameter "%command% -ignore-windows-system-certs". This is problematic as it represents a potential security risk. I cannot prove it exactly, but for a secure feeling the steps above should be carried out. In my case, running Protontricks resulted in several error messages. Among them was "unknown file arch". Nevertheless, I was able to successfully execute the entire process and the game then runs without any problems and without the need for the suspicious start parameter.
Could not get the game to run no matter what I did
%command% -ignore-windows-system-certs
Works well enough as long as graphical expectations are low. Definitely more comfortable to play on my main computer.
Some of the building windows went partially off screen, still usable but slightly annoying.
When using controller the menus sometimes sort of gets stuck
I had to downgrade to proton 7.06, nothing else worked, either didn't launch at all, or stuck at a loadscreen
gamemoderun %command% -ignore-windows-system-certs
Seemed to run solid, and looked incredible
%command% -ignore-windows-system-certs
ignore windows certs is required to even access menus
