gamemoderun %command%
very cpu bound game so gamemoderun makes it run smoother
Saving take too long, and OS gives a prompt to force quit or wait
would't launch without experimental
It looks like workshop mods install incorrectly on Native. I had to make a script that takes the mods, which are stored in /home/user/.steam/steamapps/workshop/content/975370, and makes symlinks to them in /home/user/.steam/steamapps/common/dwarf fortress/mods in order to use them.
works stellar out of the box.
Works perfectly with no tinkering
It's Dwarf Fortress, I'd be scandalized if it didn't work natively on Linux
No issues
Runs perfectly out of the box. No issues at all
The game runs flawlessly without any issues on Linux. Previously worked seamlessly with Proton, and now it's native. Absolutely no problems
Big "Thank You" to the Devs!
I switched to the native version a while ago, and it worked fine, but it suddenly broke today (I have not played for a few days though, so it probably didn't break today). Had to switch from native back to forced experimental proton to make it work.
Also, for some reason, the native version downloads Windows files? Might be why it's broken, but I have not looked into it. Can't be bothered, proton works fine, and has worked for ages
literally native, as good if not better than on windows
SteamDeck=0 %command%
The text is a little too small to read.
Due to a current SDL bug it's not possible to write text through the keyboard, both the onscreen and a physical one. Using this Launch Options act as a workaround.
The game runs much better Native than using Proton.
Works fine until you have multiple monitors with different resolutions
Game lanuches with the resolution of the leftmost monitor (which is vertical for me) game interface breaks completely trying to display everything on a vertical monitor. Remains broken even after switching the game to another monitor.
Only way around this is to temporarily turn off the other monitor, launch the game then turn them back on.
I have not played it for very long, but, so far, have not encountered any issues.
SDL_VIDEODRIVER=windows %command%
As of right now, I needed to replace the SDL2.dll that comes with DF with the latest DLL from the official SDL2 Github, and manually specify SDL_VIDEODRIVER as "windows" to get it working on Sway.
Runs perfectly with Proton
I prefer Windowed-Fullscreen if you are switching windows often.
Switch to a community layout for controls, there's quite a lot of good ones!
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
Initially game didn't want to start and was crashing briefly after hitting start in Steam. What helped was to apply forcing Direct3D emulation per paragraph 9.22 on ArchWiki Steam/Troubleshooting https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Steam/Troubleshooting_
