New unreal variant could not get to the menu (seemed to get stuck on the messages). VR had the same issue.
Although the standard version seemed to work, changing to fullscreen crashed it.
--cores 1
Sporadic freezing. Irritating in single player, quite annoying in multiplayer (as the freeze lasts long enough to disconnect the session)
The freezing (which also occurs in singleplayer) disconnects the multiplayer session. It's quick enough to save the game, jump back to the menu and rejoin but it's a shame we have to.
Without --cores 1, the game behaved much more poorly. Afterwards, I can get a few hours in without it freezing, but it seems to be fairly luck-of-the-draw.
Steam Client Error - Please quit the game, restart the Steam client and launch the game again.
I tried all the proton version available in the compatability section in steam - and this was as far as I got. Earlier versions didn't seem to start at all.
Note - this is for the demo.
But only after disabling Hair Strands. Raytracing seemed to be fine left on for me
Artefacting (especially in cinematics) usually closely followed by a crash
They need to sort out their anticheat before this game is playable
Anticheat kicked me from any multiplayer games.
Anti-Cheat doesn't like linux - at all.
Once the pain is over - the game plays very well. The question is whether the average gamer would get to that point...
Registration form was broken
All sorts of problems getting this game started.
Ultimately, the trick seems to have been;
Set the lauch options to:
gamescope -H 2160 --force-grab-cursor -F fsr -f -- ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SNOWBREAK/fix.sh %command%
Don't forget to update -H to your intended resolution, and to remove --fsr
if you're not using an applicable AMD card.
Also, you'll need to create a file called fix.sh (you can see where I put it in the command above) with the following content;
#!/bin/bash
# Iterate through all arguments
for arg in "$@"; do
# Remove the substring "-steamapp" from each argument
modified_arg="${arg//-steamapp/}"
# Add the modified argument to a new array
modified_args+=("$modified_arg")
done
# Execute the command with the modified arguments
exec "${modified_args[@]}"
Don't forget to mark it as executable - now the game should launch.
Now, I couldn't create an account (I ended up doing that in windows) but once you have one don't forget to tick the very subtle "i agree" tickbox underneath the login button.
