Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental, Set launch options
eval $( echo "%command%" | sed "s/Launcher\/LariLauncher.exe'.*/bin\/bg3_dx11.exe'/" )

I had some problems with crashes in the beginning (without tinkering), but then I started using this launch option and I've been playing for many many hours since, not a single crash, and performance is what i expect from my hardware.

Tinkering required due to graphical glitches, using RADV solves these issues.

Without the mentioned steps I had graphical glitches (3d artifacts, invisible roads, etc) that made the game unplayable. Using the RADV driver solves all these problems.

Using the game's FSR implementation caused FPS problems for me. I've always had great results with the Glorious Eggroll fork so that's what I've used instead, and with the launch parameter WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 %command% I get a much better result both visually and performance-wise.

Great experience on the Deck.

At the time of testing, the multiplayer servers had "technical difficulties". I played online on another Linux PC before though, so in theory it should work on the Deck as well.

I suggest playing around with the ingame graphics settings to make it look a bit nicer. Battery performance is not bad even on high settings.

Severe FPS drops and stuttering/freezing

Last time I checked this game ran perfectly fine, but now it's a stuttery mess with bad stuttering and input lag. Maybe it's the AMD drivers, maybe it's the kernel, maybe Rockstar borked something, I don't know.

Microsoft Flight Simulator

Works perfectly fine out of the box, but third-party apps and multiplayer don't work

3 years ago
Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental

A typical gamer will most likely enjoy this on Linux, performance is subjectively better than on Windows - stutters only start appearing for me around busy airports and big cities, but in more rural areas I didn't experience any stuttering or input lag. My joystick (an old Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas) was recognized correctly and worked reliably.

However, I was not able to get third party apps to detect or interact with the Sim. Also, the built-in multiplayer does not work and I haven't noticed any AI traffic during testing. For some people, this might be a dealbreaker - but if all you want to do is fly around and explore the world, then it's perfectly fine.

Modified network settings

Performance:Slight Performance Problems

The first few seconds on any freshly loaded map often stutter a lot. Usually resolves itself quickly.

Significant Bugs:

The Ubisoft launcher refused to connect (it was stuck on "Initializing" and never connected). The way I resolved this was to set the MTU of my network connection to 1452 Bytes (as proposed by someone in this reddit comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/Lutris/comments/10a3msr/comment/j46vui3/ ). This works for the Steam version as well, not just Lutris.

It runs. Could be better, but it is perfectly playable after I got it to connect. It looks like at least 60fps to me, there's no input lag, so I'm happy. Multiplayer also works as expected.

Perfect. Minor slowdowns during endgame, but absolutely playable

3 years ago

Runs great out of the box. Previous progress has carried over to the Deck thanks to cloud saves. Runs very smooth, overlay says it's locked at 60fps even with a lot of stuff happening on the screen (although there are slowdowns at later stages of a run, those are somewhat noticeable but do not affect the gamplay at all, it's a very smooth experience overall)

Power consumption according to overlay, without any adjustments (dairy plant, with focus on sparkly AoE weapons):

main menu: ~8W

early game: ~9W

endgame (20+ minutes): ~15W
