By now you can safely assume that all games work with Linux. The very few exceptions that don't are those games that explicitly block Linux gamers.

[-] Phegan@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

The only issues I've had are games with anti cheat. Otherwise everything works amazing.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 weeks ago

There are anti-cheat games that do work, the ones that don't are only because the developers choose it.

[-] Phegan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh absolutely. I wasn't implying all anti cheat games don't work, but the games that don't work are anti cheat games.

Space Marine 2 is the only reason I'm still booting on Windows...

[-] Pieisawesome@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

Works flawlessly on my steam deck and manjaro desktop

[-] BaroqueInMind@piefed.social -1 points 2 weeks ago

Skyrim still does not work. Try pulling up the virtual keyboard on the Steam Deck while in the game.

[-] fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

That's a steam deck issue, not a Linux issue though. Skyrim works on Linux

[-] Nibodhika@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

What happens when you do that? And does doing that on windows work? Because it sounds like an incompatibility between the steam virtual keyboard and Skyrim.

[-] WeLoveCastingSpellz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

I play nodded akyrim just fine with linux

[-] Nima@leminal.space 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

when you open skyrim, go to the mods section, hit left bumper when there to open the search. it will bring up the virtual keyboard.

now just simply exit the menu and start the game. and the keyboard will work without crashing the game.

its a workaround, but I'm used to doing it whenever I load up skyrim.

enjoy! <3

[-] BaroqueInMind@piefed.social 0 points 2 weeks ago

I've already tried that, it does not work. Appreciate your help however.

[-] Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 weeks ago

There's gotta be a nexus mod that handles the issue.

[-] BaroqueInMind@piefed.social 0 points 2 weeks ago

The game is fifteen years old . A third-party mod fixing this issue instead of Bethesda tracks so hard.

[-] doublah@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

Pretty sure the latest update with a load of paid mod bs is what caused the bug lol

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

There's a PC version of Chrono Trigger? Huh, I guess I missed that news.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I heard it wasn't very good. Just a port of the mobile version with a lot of serious flaws. Better to emulate the SNES version.

[-] Noctis@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

It got patched up, it's decent enough nowadays

[-] k0e3@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

I haven't come across any serious issues. Although, I'm not a hard-core retro-supremacist.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Chrono Trigger

Wouldn't an emulator of either the snes or Playstation version work better than the PC port? 🤔

Does the newer remaster even have anything worthwhile? I personally do not like the UI compared to the OG.

[-] ProfessorProteus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

And the OG SNES version has the best English translation. A hill I would gladly die on 😤

[-] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Someone set up us the bomb

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

Even if this is the worst way to play it, it's still worth them fixing whatever the issue was. It's not like it's exclusive to that game. Whatever it was doing that wasn't working as intended likely effects other games too. It was an issue with how Proton translated it, and the fix should apply to any other similar usage of whatever graphics library it was using.

[-] xploit@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Sooo what's Warframe like on Proton/Linux then?

[-] priapus@piefed.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

It's run flawlessly for years. The devs are very supportive of Wine/Proton users, they've release bug fixes specifically aimed at Linux users before

[-] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

Also, the GloriousEggroll person who is behind Proton GE, started his work by fixing Warframe under Wine and testing/reporting issues. Coincidentially, this version of Proton fixes Thai language rendering, and he is half-thai.

[-] scala@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

It actually runs better on my dual boot with Linux Bazzite, than Win11.

call of duty is now removed from changelog https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Changelog/_compare/e4e94568ea5df017a116a0947713e100eab5635b

[-] Harvey656@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

When I read Call of duty cold war, I thought it was a typo, pretty sure the call of duty's post mw2019 run a rootkit anticheat that also happens to disable the games on linux in general. Maybe there's a workaround now and Activision lost it?
