Doesn't start on old Macbook from 2010 with NVD320m an 340 legacy drivers
I've worked the last 2 days, to get this Laptop back up an running and was finally able to get everything working with nvidia drivers in Linux Mint. Unfortunately I can't get the game to start. The startup window appears, stays for a while and then goes away. When I try to launch the game directly with wine .steam/steam/steamapps/common/Divinity ... /Shipping/Eo... .exe (path shortened) I get a few error messages which didn't lead anywhere. Sometimes the game also freezes the desktop, the cursor changes to the ingame one, but then everything just freezes.
"Needs windows 7 Service Pack 1 Platform Update" is the error the thrown after a successful start of the launcher, login and click on the PLAY button. It seems as if it could almost work...
This game is easily and perfectly playable on Linux, but my Hardware is not quite up to the task
AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV RADV_PERFTEST=rt,emulate_rt %command%
solid cinematic 24FPS on an AMD Vega M GH with 4GB HBM2 VRAM and 640x480
Very cool remake of a classic.
The game works with my System, as good as it did under Windows 10. - DX12 error fix
I had some initial slow downs while shaders were compiling in the back.
I had one issue though that took me a while to figure out. When the game had slow downs because of shader compilation in the back, I initially thought that the graphics settings were too demanding. I then made the mistake to toggle on the DX12 setting in the ingame menu. The game crashed and I couldn't change the settings back anymore, as now the game would crash on startup. The path to the BootOptions file on my system was: .steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1237950/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/STAR\ WARS\ Battlefront\ II/settings/BootOptions
In that file I could edit the DX12 variable to be 0 instead of 1 and then the game works again. As I've heard this is not just a problem under Linux, but also on Windows. The path to the file for Linux users is different though.
