32 hours overallStill far from perfect, but patch v1.01.03 brings welcome changes for Linux. It's not great but not terrible either.
Windowing:Other
Running the game in fullscreen still results in the overdraw issue.
The game is getting more playable on Linux, and I hope we'll see some of the changes in the latest patch ported over to the other games in the series. I'd give this something between a thumbs up and thumbs down right now.
Two issues have been largely resolved.
- You no longer need any manual fixes or Protontricks commands to fix the font issues. Everything works as intended out of the box.
- There is no longer any horrible slowdown when switching over to the supply view. It renders very smoothly now.
The biggest outstanding issue is still the way that graphics are drawn in fullscreen. When you open one of the game's menus or sub-menus, the graphics get drawn "on top" of the existing screen, but slightly shifted on the Y-axis. This makes mouse inputs also shifted on the Y-axis to the same degree.
There are two imperfect fixes for this:
- Run the game in Windowed mode. The downside is (obviously) that you have to run the game windowed, at a lower resolution than your monitor. Scrolling with the mouse is hard because of this.
- Use gamescope. A bordless fullscreen session using gamescope does not suffer from this issue. However, using gamescope breaks the functionality of the right-click context menu. While you don't need to use this menu all the time, it is occassionally necessary, so this is not a great solution.
