Dispite what people says; I cannot play this game because EAC doesn't want to load in any way.
env -u SDL_VIDEODRIVER DRI_PRIME=1 %command%
It gives a "Failed to get process' path" error, even if I use some launch options or change Proton to GE or Experimental.
DRI_PRIME=1 RADV_PERFTEST=gpl gamemoderun %command%
Some crashes can happens in random times, especially in the start of the game. Changing to ProtonGE fixes this issue a lot.
The game works great, with some optimization issues, but besides that, it works mostly great.
DXVK_ASYNC=1 %command%
This game, for some reason, doesn't like folders with long paths, so if you have it in ANY folder other than "/home", the game won't load any levels after the first one, and you'll get a black screen. (Happens in all 3 Crash.) It also means that this game probably won't work on Steam Flatpak.
So if you have this problem, use a shorter path or use the /home folder.
The game runs well, I would say too well, I have not had any problems (besides the folder bug), and the Dualsense has detected it without the need for Steam Input, it has been a long time and I have not had any problems, both in Xorg and in Wayland the game works great. There are not even problems with Alt+Tab!
gamemoderun %command%
Videos don't play correctly (This bug does not affect AMD Grapichs or Steam Deck)
Game works great! If you use Intel HD Grapichs use this: PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
Black Screen sometimes after Alt+Tabing, is a GNOME issue.
Be careful if you update, there are some reports of people having their Save File corrupted because of this. (Windows, Mac and also Linux)
After trying the game months after their launch (I pre-ordered this game) The game runs absolutely better than before. Instability issues fixed, Saves problems fixed, and the FMV/Video cutscenes fixed too.
The launch options above is for fixing some issues with the game in general (Its a old game afterall)
-GameProfile_SkipIntroMovies 1 -RenderProfile_MaxFps 300 -GFX_HemiQuality 2 -GFX_LeavesShadowRatio 1 -GFX_SunShadowRange0 14 -GFX_SunShadowRange1 30 -GFX_SunShadowRange2 160 -GFX_MaxHemiMapDistance 10000 -RenderProfile_MaxFps 144
The online experience is amazing using the FC2 Online Patcher.
The game works for me OOTB, I recommend open it with the Vulkan mode when you start the game.
The online works great, Host or Join, all works fine.
DXVK_ASYNC=1 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr11 VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12 %command% -dx12
Fullscreen sometimes crashes the game, Windowed Fullscreen doesnt like Alt+Tab, Windowed sometimes works fine.
Peacock Project also worked fine.
The game is playable with Proton 7.0
The game takes A LOT to load, really, it could take like 10~20 minutes to load a level
The only problems in online are usually server stuff, but even this game using EAC, is some sort using the EOS version with the Linux switch activated.
Remember one thing; Maybe you need to open the games two times, one for the EAC installation, then force the exit using Steam, and the other for the EAC Launcher and the game. There is the only thing that you need to take on count.
Also, my Xbox 360 gamepad is not working in this game.
Beside that, the experience is more perfect than the Closed Beta, and is amazing that the developers switched on the Linux EAC in literally first day of the Open Beta.
Sadly, there is a lot of problems in this port, even crashes on somes PC that i have, and things sometimes doesn't work well with somes DE.
Please, delete this libraries from the game folder; libdrm.so.2, libGLdispatch.so.0, libstdc++.so.6 and librt.so.1.
Please, dont hate the devs for making the port "bad", Porting this game to Linux its hard, the game needs a lot of Windows functions that only work there, and port it to Linux its a really hard task. (Knowing the amount of libraries, DE differences, etc)
I recommend playing this game in KDE or GNOME with taskbar enabled.
Game doesn't want to open because of EA Play/EA2Link. And, even if the games open, a Easy Anti-Cheat error pops up.
PROTON_EAC_RUNTIME=$HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ EasyAntiCheat\ Runtime/ %command%
The game is completely fuctional if you use the protontricks, from start to finish, i hope some developer read this and fix this error.
protontricks 658150 d3dcompiler_43 and d3dx9_43
The fullscreen is not completely full in KDE, not even the fullscreen option works.
Protontricks is COMPLETELY necessary to start a level, if you don't use it, be prepared to receive a Shader Error in all of your screen. Without it, it only be playable trough the menu screen.
PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command%
When i load up the game, the ram fill up to 95-95%, and then crashing the whole PC (or the game) This happens when i load up the save, or after 5-25 minutes of gameplay.
PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 %command%
Sometimes the audio is out of sync in the cutscene, use the launch option above to fix it.
The local multiplayer is amazing, i had a good time with a friend playing some of the modes, so yeah, fully recomended
