If you just want to click Play on steam its probably nothing for you because for some people it maybe works but not for everyone i think.
If you want to install steam Workshop mods it will not work that good. I meen it works but not every time. Also if you want to launch it with Steam it didnt work for me, i needet the Arma 3 Unix Launcher.
you cant join servers. Its just all servers have Eac i think it was EAC, but i didnt work you cant connect to these servers.
Plays great. I haven't had any problems yet and I've played the game for 32 hours so far.
I would not recommend it at this point maybe a new Proton version fixes it. The game is Playable but it isn't running good at least for me.
The Game is just frequently lagging it is basically unplayable, until you reach a Point at the game where it is getting less but still running pretty bad. I also tried some of these starparameters some people are using didn't made any difference as well.
You just need to follow the steps @ past bin and you will be fine. At least that's how it worked for me.
It crashed 2 times in 10h of play time
You have to read the file in pastebin and may have to tinker around. Does not appeal to work for unexperienced user.
Starter Script from pastebin: https://pastebin.com/8b5X7bm3
BUT BEWARE, do not download it! I had to copy the raw data and paste it in a textfile. Downloading the file did not work, it had strange DOS characters in it, which where invisible. Leads to ": /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory"
With proton 6.3-5 it works out of the box without any tinkering. I also tried to play private server and coop both works great
You only need BattlEye íf you want to play on offical servers
Because it crashes often and some heists are not playable i played like 100hrs and it was fun but it is not cool that it crashes so often
It crashes at many heists. it crashes sometimes random sometimes because of the heist.
Just make sure you dont forget to disable push to talk i forgot it and wondered why my mate couldn't hear me.
Fps drops much on some maps sometimes close to unplayable
The Perforamance is just way worse then it is on Windows, it is playable but not a nice experience
I compared with windows and i chose the same preset on both Windows and Linux and the preset i used on Linux got like crappy 50fps with a high frame time, on windows tho i got locked 60fps no problem i could even put the everything way higher and it would still run better as it did on Linux sadly.
Works just fine
The game works great except for the multiplayer is kinda laggy, but i dont know if its the game or because of Proton.
You need to use Proton 5.13.6 at least the newer version just crashed for me. So i would recommend this Proton for now at least.
runs a little slow here and there but nothing too bad
So if you have luck it works on your distro and if not it will not work at all.
i don't recommend to buy
Works great even with mods but you need to use Vortex Mod manager. Which is kinda tricky but at the end it works well.
At the beginning like the first 2 missions are lagging a bit, not sure if it is because of their servers or because of Proton
