When alt-tabbing and then opening up the BLUE REFLECTION window, the game would occasionally simply display a black screen.
Cutscenes do not play whatsoever, even after running the mf-install script. They're simply skipped. The mf-install script fixes the issue where the game crashes, but it doesn't play the cutscenes for me. Definitely not ideal by any means.
Game seems to work perfectly fine so far. Will play through the entire game and report back if I encounter any issues.
Audio in cutscenes won't play, however, it is fixable. Audio in-game is fine.
The solution is to change the audio codec to PCM audio (with for example ffmpeg).
I wrote a quick script to easily fix this automatically.
First, make sure that you have ffmpeg installed.
Next, open up the install directory for BLUE REFLECTION (in Steam, right-click on the game -> Manage -> Browse local files), go inside the directories DATA -> x64 -> Movie.
Create a file in there named "fix_videos.sh" (without the quotes) and copy and paste the following into the file:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
for wmv_file in *.wmv
do
new_filename="$wmv_file".ORIGINAL
echo "Renaming $wmv_file to $new_filename"
mv "$wmv_file" "$new_filename"
ffmpeg -i "$new_filename" -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec copy "$wmv_file"
done
Open up a terminal in the Movie directory and run the following:
chmod +x fix_videos.sh
./fix_videos.sh
The script will backup the original files.
If you'd like to undo the audio fix for videos if you ran my script, you can run the following (or put it in a file and execute it):
for wmv_file in *.ORIGINAL
do
new_filename=$(echo "$wmv_file" | sed 's/\.ORIGINAL//')
echo "Undoing file renaming."
rm "$new_filename"
mv "$wmv_file" "$new_filename"
done
Cutscenes finally play, albeit with no audio. However, luckily the audio issue with cutscenes is fixable with tinkering.
Works perfectly.
Servers for DS2 are still down I believe so I couldn't test multiplayer.
Played through the entire game on Linux with no issues whatsoever.
Played through the entire game, killing every optional and mandatory boss without and issues whatsoever.
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%
Had to change the launch options to use DSfix, which is pretty much a requirement to play the game honestly. Played with the 60 FPS unlock through the entire game (from start to finish, killed every boss, both optional and non-optional).
Increasing the FPS cap to 60 with DSfix introduces some interesting issues with physics (none of which are exclusive to Linux), but the game is still 100% completely playable.
-vulkan_disable_steam_shader_cache -vulkan_disable_graphics_pipeline_library
The latest NVIDIA driver seems to have introduced something called graphics pipeline, which made the game not launch successfully. But after adding the launch option "-vulkan_disable_graphics_pipeline_library", the game launches without issues with Vulkan.
You do not have to force OpenGL to workaround the issue where the game just black screens after the dota 2 logo when starting up the game, just use "-vulkan_disable_graphics_pipeline_library".
The game is fully playable. I've completed the main story campaign and am currently at 34% total completion of the game.
So far I've found two spots where the game will consistently crash when flying an airplane. First one I found was during a challenge race, and second one was at the end of a faction mission. Both were still completable, athough for the challenge race I had to be a bit creative with the route.
DXVK_ASYNC=1 gamemoderun %command%
I did as the other reports mentioned and downloaded Apex Legends through Steam just to get the easyanticheat_x64.so file and put it in OUTRIDER's EasyAntiCheat directory.
After placing that EAC file there, the game got past the initial main menu.
The game is playable, however, cinematic's that seem to play pre-rendered videos don't play at all for me, and instead just display a black screen with subtitles and audio playing, no video. Hopefully a solution for this is found.
