![]() ![]() Planetside 2 (use "-disable-gpu" as a launch option, otherwise launcher is blank).DayZ also needs a higher max_map_count, you can up it temporarily by doing:Įcho 'vm.max_map_count=1048576' | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/vm.max_map_nf.DayZ (avoid the launcher, use the second option Steam gives).The current list of support titles has expanded and is now: Still, it's fantastic progress and now even more games can be enjoyed. ![]() Hopefully by the time the Linux-powered handheld Steam Deck starts shipping in February 2022, that list will expand. I'm still personally hopeful we can see the likes of PUBG working. You should no longer need Proton Experimental either, since Proton 6.3-8 released back in late November pulled in the BattlEye support. In related news, Proton Experimental itself was also upgraded recently making Final Fantasy XIV playable, there's a fix for Marvel's Avengers showing prompt about outdated drivers on launch, a fix for eFootball PES 20 crashing on launch, a fix for audio in Mass Effect 1 from Mass Effect Legendary Edition and also improved compatibility with binary Nvidia drivers. It's good to see that more popular client-side anticheat systems are finally running on GNU/Linux, but this is not my biggest blocker. The biggest area that I am still disappointed with WINE/Proton in is Visual Novels. I haven't yet come across a visual novel on Steam that doesn't work, but Steam doesn't have a lot of Visual Novels. More importantly, most of the visual novels do not have the option to read the story in Japanese. And most crucially, I've not been able to get Textractor to work through WINE on most games (aside from Higurashi? which actually crashes when I try to insert a hook now), which makes looking up words significantly harder. I experimented briefly with trying to get Textractor to run through the same Proton version as the one running the Visual Novel, but I just couldn't figure it out and gave up. I suspect that the reason it doesn't work is some kind of obfuscation due to DRM. I tend to use Gazou-OCR, which has worked great so far (much better than KanjiTOMO ever did for me, for instance), but it's annoying to use on a GNOME desktop and often inserts bizarre spacing, making lookup more of a chore in Yomichan. There is perhaps some irony that the only way to get Textractor working is to run the visual novel through WINE, and running it natively on GNU/Linux won't work.
