I’ve had no luck getting it to work on my Linux machine :(
Same, the game is in a wild state. The proton hotfix freaked KDE right out, and Proton GE appeared to work, but started consistently crashing while I was meddling with settings, I can't even run the benchmark anymore. Returned for now, I'll wait for a sale before trying again.
KDE freaking out on proton-hotfix (Epilepsy warning):
Ayyyy IKEA Brimnes living room 😎
Black screen on startup?
No it won’t even open
You did remember to set the compatibility mode? It requires Proton 10, you might need to set that, or you could try removing Proton 10 and trying to redownload it.
Yes I tried GE proton and several valve protons with no luck
Did you pirate it? I’ve had no issues through steam
Dead men tell no tales
It seems they're taking about non steam OS builds. It runs fine on my Legion Go S with bazite, getting like 90fps on medium and balanced mode with frame gen.
Wait, do you think Bazzite is SteamOS? They're two totally different things, just with similar goals. However, both are just Linux distros. They aren't anything special. They just come with certain packages pre-installed. You can add them on any distro.
Bazzite is not a Steam OS build
