install dxvk, vcrun_2017 using proton tricks
Graphics in game are choppy and laggy at 1920x1080 resolution at medium. Game consequently runs very slowly and doesn't feel responsive. This has been despite multiple attempts with different versions of proton, different command params on launch and some tinkering with Protontricks to try and iron this out.
either I've horribly missed something in my attempts to sort this, but I consider this unplayable.
Just a couple of notes:
- Origin launcher will run and will require that you use the touchscreen/on screen keyboard to sort out
- I did have an unusual thing where I had to create an initial save in ME1, quit, restart and then everything was fine. Not sure if it qualifies as a bug, as it may have been something I did.
On the whole I've experienced no issues so far.
So Project Zomboid has a Native Linux Build. On PopOS! however the special keys (Ctrl, Shift, Esc, etc) don't work in game for bound keys.
Switching to Proton Experimental and essentially running it through Wine resolved this problem. I'd rather the native Linux build worked properly without these Keyboard problems but it's nice to know you can at least run it properly in Proton.
Connected and played hosted multiplayer with some friends. Zero Lag issues at all.
Minor UI Glitches. Otherwise working perfectly fine
There is some artifacting that occurs in the main menu. This can be resolved by going into the game settings and turning of "UI particle effects". Outside of that, on the games battlescape, occaisonally some icons will get a weird green block halo around them. Likely due to how some of the UI effects work. Minor annoyance, nothing that would render the game unplayable by any stretch.
My original saves are not supported on proton from Steam Cloud because they use the DLC. And the only way to get the DLC to be loadable is enabling SteamPlay for EVERYTHING, rather than specific games. However, once I enabled globally, DLC downloaded fine and the Save files worked again.
Aside from the occaisonal UI glitch that doesn't render the game unplayable (minor annoyance at best). As a side note, loading DLC requires SteamPlay to be enabled globally from steam preferences, you can't just enable it for the game, as the DLC don't catch it otherwise.
Installs fine out of the gate and runs perfectly
So far I've encountered zero issues. No tinkering required, just a simple install and run job. Easy and smooth.
Runs perfectly with no issues
I've now sunk 22 hours into this on Linux. Absolutely zero issues, running on Max Graphics and just fantastic!
Initially controller wasn't detected. Going into the options and controller settings made it start working however. Since then. No issues with controller at all. Only on first launch.
Plays like a dream and is an absolutely smashing game on the Deck
Game doesn't work unless you disable the Steam Overlay and Steam Cloud Saves as part of the game setup. If you don't do that it freezes and crashes during the opening Logos.
Correcting those two options and running on proton experimental allows it to run, and for me it runs gorgeously
Installing and launching the game without tinkering caused it to keep crashing during the logo screens.
Annoyingly switching to Proton Experimental didn't immediately help, however taking the extra steps to disable the Steam Overlay and Steam Cloud saves seemed to solve the problem immediately.
After which the game ran beautifully and I have been loving it so far!
