The solo experience is very good but, sadly the online mode do not work well.
BIg performance in multiplayer mode, it is juste unplayable. I have test some proton Vers. and some Proton GE, but nothing seem to work. The solo campaing work like a charm.
Out of the box, works as well as a native game. The Dualshock 4 controller is perfectly recognized as such by the games.
gamemoderun %command%
The command i'm using : gamemoderun %command% is probably not required. The framerate is in the ranges to which my hardware entitles me (no significant loss of performance felt due to the OS). I'm alway on Proton Experimental (i set it to default). It is quite possible that other Protons will work just as well, if not better.
Like others players, i have needed to tweek arround with Winetrikcs/Protontrics,but the game work pretty well [...]
/!\ DISACTIVATE ANTI-ALISAING, DO NOT setup 1080P if anti-aliasing is activate ! That lead to a black screen.
So, i have go on the version 4.11 of the stock Proton because others players signal that version work with Protontricks (and yes, i have try others prot.vers. with Pro.Tric., without any luck).
Installed Protontricks ( https://github.com/Sirmentio/protontricks )
Start one time the game and exit (if it's not chrash ^-^), this will populate the game selection in protontricks gui.
Run in a terminal to launch gui windows of Protontricks with that command : protontricks --gui
select from the list the game << Blazlue Chronophantasma Extend 388750 >> (ignore the error messages)
Here check << select the default wine prefix >> and validate.
On the next windows, check and validate << run wincfg >>
One the new window go to tab << application << and check (or select) the version of Windows is << Windows 7 >>
Go in the tab << library >> (<< Bibliothèque >> in French) and add the follow dlls : quartz, devenum, wmp9, xact, xaudio2_7 (native,builtin), but somme values like wmp9 (and maybe some others) is not available do not replace him by wmp, and validate. (source found here : https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=33426 ) (i thing the more important in the list is xaudio2_7, other seem to be optional but i'm not sure) For the next step, go in << Install Windows dll component >> and install the fallow dlls : quartz, devenum, wmp9 and xact. (If error message like the first one show, don't worry) For the sanity check, go again in << run wincfg >> to verrify if something has changed in the settings we have made hearlier, if yes you know what do you do ^-^, if not exit. Set in game startup argument : PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 to desactivate esync.
No, at the day when i'm writting and in my case, i could say no a typical player cannont enjoy that experience.
On Vulkan i have big slowdown/drop Fps when i look around, it seem to be a sort of reload of textures or something like that i dop from 170 fps to 30fps, so it is basicly unplayable.
On opengl 120 fps max but it is smooth... When the countdown to the Hell finish and crash game engine at the same time (it is pretty meta if you want my thinking, but i don't think is the goal of the game). And after that i have the crash engine all time on the sreeen menu. So i have start a repair of the game and the result is one file is broken and need to be redownloaded.
I have encounter some crash on Vulkan. One destructive crash on Opengl with corruption of one file of the game. Some big free (with no reason not o many ennemy or effect) fps drop in vulkan
Ii don't anderstand why he is white listed. I have lauched and played many games in gold or silver with a better experience, they maybe requiere some tweeking but they run, her.
Yes i have try Proton GE without any especially great result.
The experience can be pleased but with some little tweeking and with the usage of proton experimantal.
The mouse stay all the time on the screen, but can be hide in the botom right of the screen. But after Alt+Tab the mouse cursor stay in the center an return in the center if i try to hide him.
On proton 5.13.6 big slowdown in action. I have to use Proton experimantal to remove that performance problem (mostly).
It plays as you would play it under Windows, nothing to complain about, which surprises me given the presence of Easy Anti Cheat.
gamemoderun %command%
As of this writing, the game is in Early Access. I am therefore almost certain that the few stability problems (more like server problems) are due to this status.
Several online matches have been played in a row without any problem, only one game crash, I blame the early access status more than playing under Proton and Linux.
Unlock framerate at 1080 and Epic setup, i have more than 90 fps, so that working pretty great.
But, be careful all the time with games with anti-cheat under Linux, an abusive ban quickly happens.
I already had Protontricks installed on my machine, and I didn't configure anything more for this game, but as a pop-up sometimes appears when starting Steam, maybe Protontricks has improved the playability of Predecessor ?
It worked very well without the « gamemoderun %command% » argument, but since it didn't cost anything I added it anyway, to see, nothing negative and maybe positive, so I left it.
gamemoderun gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -r 60 -o 30 -b %command% --launcher-skip
Quelques clignotement de textures au loin ou lors de dialogue.
Léger stuttering. Frametime au fraise au dessus de 60 images/seconde si les FPS sont décapés.
Crashs et freese aléatoire. Impossible de dire à quoi cela est dû.
Avec mon hardware je suis à 60 fps capé sinon le frametime se met à faire du yoyo, rendant le tout injouable. Résultats obtenu en 1080p, quasiment tout à fond, FSR qualité et résolution adaptative.
J'ai testé DX11, DX12, Proton Glorious Egroll(7,8,9), Proton 7, Proton 9, avec et sans ma liste d'arguments de lancement, rien à faire les instabilités restent présentes, peu importe le modifications réalisées.
A problem of hair that jumps without ceasing during the dialogues and a little less outside these dialogues. This is a problem encountered because of too many fps ... more than 2000fps displayed on the meter ...
To eliminate that you have to limit the fps except that the games do not allow it.
So you have to use the following launch option:
For Vulkand / DXVK / ACO (my case):
MESA_VK_WSI_PRESENT_MODE = fifo% command%
For OpenGL:
vblank_mode = 3
This has the effect of forcing some form of VSync before the game is launched.
The game seems to become unstable after pressing the Windows / SUPER key and deploying the KDE menu, and ended up crashing randomly soon after. I tested and it seems reproducible.
I have playing many hours without worries in mind, still enjoyable experience. Nearly W$ perf.
Proton-4.11-GE-1 GloriousEggroll
Need a plugged gamepad, if not the game crash in 5 minutes. Also work with Dualshock 4 linked by Bluetooth
Sometime i have notice some litle drop (shader caching ?). Maybe it's my hardware (i having a bad MB and some under volting problem...).
But, It's perfectly playable as it is.
Between 60 and 95 fps in the Eidolon plain.
190 to 200 fps in the Orbiter (caped at 120 fps).
Random rare crash on some Alt+Tab and PrintScreen
Graphical setting are max everywhere but vsync off.
I also using the launching argument:
LD_PRELOAD=$LD_PRELOAD:/usr/lib/libgamemodeauto.so %command%
(GameMode activated with the help of this video/description/comments :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gyRyYfyGJw&t= )
I have also try all Proton GE 4.11 to 5.2, and the better results ("out of box" ) are with Proton-4.11-GE-1 The other version give me many strong freezing and seem do not want to disappear with the time, at least on my hour of testing i haven't notice any improvement.
I have test the official Steam Proton, it's kind a works but, may be little more laggy, and no characters (Lotus, Ordis, etc...) audio voices.
