Mouse not locking to game in fullscreen. Use "windowed fullscreen" instead.
Mods...
- When you are using the "ACE" mod You have to change the bind from "Windows key/Super key" to another button (in my case) using "Super Key" caused the game to minimize.
- Using TFAR/ACRE2 is also problematic - you have to install TS3 for windows (not for linux) Guide:

It's best to play Arma 3 via Proton - Playing without Proton you don't have the game launcher. You can use Arma 3 Unix Launcher, but then mods like TFAR/ACRE2 probably won't work (I tried installing TFAR and it didn't work.)
At the beginning of the game, the models textures were slightly stretched under the map. But that's probably more the game's fault.
Great! Everything works as if it was natively supported
The game work without any problems even with a mod manager
When loading a map with or without mods, the game does not start (crash)
Most tech mods don't work without this command:
For:
- Ubuntu/Linux Mint:
sudo apt install mono-devel - Arch:
sudo pacman -S mono - Fedora :
sudo dnf install mono-core mono-devel
In my case I'm using Ubuntu (Pop!_os) so I'm sure the ubuntu command works. The rest I'm not sure about.
__GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 PROTON_USE_D9VK=1 %command%
Goto: Gothic 3\Ini\ge3.ini and change Timer.ThreadSafe=false for better performance
Playing with PROTON_USE_D9VK=1 %command% I couldn't use textures bigger than medium (save wouldn't load) Other than that I didn't notice any other problems.
For me, the mouse speed in the game is too slow - Like in Gothic 2 (I had to increase the mouse DPI because the mouse speed in the game options was not enough)
2 times I couldn't load a saved game. To load a saved game I had to start a new game and then load the game otherwise the game crash.
When starting the game, DO NOT USE PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% The game has very low FPS when playing with this setting!
Use PROTON_USE_D9VK=1 %command% to get high FPS
The game without community patch 1.75 is not stable.
For the game to work properly and more stable, install:
- Gothic 3 EE Patch v1.75.14 (or newer)
- Gothic 3 EE v1.75 Update Pack v1.04.11 (or newer)
- Gothic 3 Parallel Universe Patch v1.0.5 (or newer)
To install these 3 mods you will need a simulated Windows environment (I used the Bottles app)
FPS on my settings:
- In Cities: 60-100 FPS
- Outside the cities: 110-160 FPS
I couldn't use textures bigger than medium (save wouldn't load) Other than that I didn't notice any other problems.
- You can always use
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%but then the game has very low FPS (Max. 70 FPS outside the citie / 30-45 FPS In cities)
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ddraw=n,b" %command%
↑ Use the command above to make GD3D11 work ↑
Switching between two screens does not crash the game like it did on windows. Using GD3D11 will increase your FPS limit - And the game looks even better
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ddraw=n,b" %command%
I uploaded UNION Scripts for fast looting and speeding up time - Union Scripts sometimes causes game crashes with triggers on the map. The game is more stable without Union Scripts, but they are playable.
The mouse is very slow - but that's the game's fault, not Linux
Saving the game in the traditional way works without any problems. However, do not use the quick save feature.
After installing the game, upload GD3D11 ( https://github.com/SaiyansKing/GD3D11/releases ) and add the startup command, WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ddraw=n,b" %command%
Playing on HDR,SMAA,GodRays,HBAO+ etc (DX11 - F11 InGame) on windows caused my PFS to drop to 30-40. On linux I was surprised when I didn't have any FPS drops and the FPS stays between 400-800 FPS
The buttons to start a new game didn't work. To fix this, simply restart Steam.
