BeamNG.drive

runs great given the hardware when running with vulkan, but requires gamescope launch options to run without heavy artifacting under wayland

1 month ago

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: GE, Set launch options

gamescope -w 3440 -h 1440 -b -f --xwayland-count 2 --adaptive-sync -- %command%

Graphics:Heavy Artifacts

Heavy black flickering, solved by running the game through gamescope with the launch options. The flickering only occurs on wayland, and is fixed with gamescope.

Performance:Slight Performance Problems

It takes a comedically long time to load the initial models and sounds, but with patience they do load and everything is normal.

Vulkan gives huge performance boosts on AMD hardware at least, and it's worth the loading time of the models with the gamescope arguments to not have to switch sessions just to play this game. My launch options are gamescope -w 3440 -h 1440 -b -f --xwayland-count 2 --adaptive-sync -- %command% and you can replace the -w and -h arguments with the width and height of your display. Installing gamescope and running gamescope --help in a terminal will show you all the potential options and what they all do.

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy

works perfectly out of the box

Proton 7.0-4

Deep Rock Galactic

Works well with occasional crashing before gamescope

Tinker Steps:Set launch options

gamescope -w 3440 -h 1440 -f -e %command%

Instability:Occasionally

Game crashed every 20-40 minutes before running the game through gamescope

► Multiplayer

Overall (online):Excellent

Miner's unions do not work because the game cannot detect discord

Game seems to work best through gamescope - install gamescope and in the launch options add gamescope -w [screen width] -h [screen height] -f -e %command% This will make sure the game scales properly, has steam integration, and runs in fullscreen. This would look like gamescope -w 1920 -h 1080 -f -e %command% for most players. See https://github.com/Plagman/gamescope for more info
