Genshin and ZZZ have been running fine from the official installer in a Proton Prefix for years now. They use a different anticheat from the two Honkai games for some reason.
Does that mean that Honkai games still can’t be played on Linux? There goes my idea of giving Star Rail a try.
I know a lot of you don’t care if these games run or not, but really does suck they don’t. I’ve talked to quite a few people that wouldn’t switch to Linux because X game doesn’t run on it.
Yeah, I’m lucky that my main games of interest weren’t blocked from Linux when I switched. If I had a friend group that played BF6, it likely would’ve been a harder decision
Mechwarrior 2 Titanium trilogy, arguably the best games EVER MADE (fight me, wetnose) doesn’t really run on anything beyond Windows 2000. I simply refuse to update to any OS that doesn’t retain the functionality of my games.
Why not run linux on your main and have a Windows 2000 Virtual Machine?
Because I don’t really run Windows 2000 on my main machine. It was sarcasm.
Plus… Running mint on my main, and I’ve tried a couple of emulators and VMs to try to run MW2 and none of them do a good job of it, especially if you want to use a controller or joystick. Frankly, If I had a real heavy hankering for my vintage games, I’d just build an airgapped legacy system specifically for running that game.
Agreed, I switched my gaming rig to Linux for 6 months and was so excited to get things working. Went back to windows on it because I kept going to play with friends, and would often have to mess with Proton versions (again) to get the game working.
I really enjoy the Grounded games, so when Grounded 2’s early access was about to release I switched back to avoid dealing with those issues.
Still rocking Linux on my non-gaming devices though, aside from SteamDeck.

Shame.

Shame, shame, shame.
What would you recommend I do so that I wouldn’t have ran into those issues? Suck it up and keep dealing with the headaches?
I’m no fan of Windows either, but it lets me play games when I want to play them.
Both Grounded games are listed as Gold on ProtonDB, just FYI
Edit: Oh, I see. No crossplay. Well that sucks.
People will always come up with a reason to stay with what they have.
And other people will always come up with a reason you need to leave what you have even if it satisfies your need.
Your personal needs are not the concern. Free the software free the society.
Your personal opinions are not my concern.
Your personal needs are not the concern
And with that attitude you’ve already lost.
Idc for any of these games. So yeah, Linux wins.
Is this the kernel-level spyware list?
Primarily, there are a few EAC games that haven’t checked the ‘Linux allowed’ box yet.
linux got just a little worse pretty recently: roblox is now playable on it
This is how i find out that they broke Apex on linux. Used to run just fine.
I stopped playing completely when they broke anti-cheat on Linux. I was already waning on the game and that sealed the deal for me.
Yea they removed Linux support in 2022 or 2023 I think? I used to play a lot with my friends but I’m not installing windows just for that game so they lost me
Anti-Cheat topic I believe
Um, acktchuailley Linux can run Genshin through An Anime Launcher.
I imagine Linux can run most of those. Odds are the OP just didn’t try hard enough.
What is completely understandable.
No, all of them have Anticheat. Some may work up to and including the main screen or a few seconds of gameplay, but not further.
Anti cheat doesn’t mean something doesn’t work with Linux.
Some anti cheat either didn’t work well with Linux or is specifically intended to be incompatible with Linux.
Kernel Level Anticheat does. Which is obviously what I am talking about, in the context of AAA shooters.
I’ve experienced myself that GTA:O, Fortnite and Apex don’t work. LoL is famous for not working, same with R6. They’re all shooter games after all.
Now:
Fortnite works - with a custom server. The point of even playing something like Fortnite is the large playerbase to fill games with dozens of players, and using custom servers basically nulls that, but it’s technically an option…
Genshin works (although you might just get banned)
R6 just doesn’t work.
Destiny 2 neither.
Same with Apex.
GTA:O doesn’t work with public sessions since Enhanced. It does work with workarounds for all players and therefore an invite-only session. So it’s not really the original GTA Online anymore, but tbh nobody cares abt that, everyone just chills in private lobbies and/or plays RP.
LOL also just doesn’t work.Rocket League works perfectly fine with BattlEye and is expected to work perfectly fine when it switches to Easy Anti-Cheat on Linux. The issue isn’t the anti-cheat. Its the developers’ implementations.
I’ve played Genshin Impact just fine on my Steam Deck using An Anime Launcher.
Well, good that my ol pal rimworld works like a charm
I’ve got a decent rig and rimworld chokes at a reasonable farmyard size. What’s your secret?
how many hundred mods you have
That’s a trick question, the correct answer is “not many enough”
“yes”
I have zero mods. I ran a Ryzen 5 5600x RTX3070 with 16gb ram and I eventually got like 150 ducks or something and every few seconds the computer started to pause and think. It was eventually unbearable. I googled it and thought it was my overall number of beings in the area. So I started wholesale duck slaughter and I think it got better. I have a better computer now haven’t gone back yet. Are you telling me it’s not my PC?
One of the recent updates improved the performance of large barnyards, IIRC. I’ve had little trouble running it on an i5 1340p with probably a hundred or so ducks.
My mostly-vanilla (ie mods don’t hugely change gameplay/add anything crazy) Rimworld runs fine on my probably what’s considered mid-range PC. I second the other commenter; you probably need to cut back on the mods.
When I was using fedora I was using faugus launcher, now I’m driving arch and lutris works like a charm, u need to try to tinker a bit. Try using wine-ge or proton experimental. Maybe there are missing vulkan liberies. Whats your GPU? And can u somehow dm me? Im new lemmy user so I’m not very familiar yet with any features
Runs BF6: ❌
That trash even requires you to enable secure boot. Get the fuck outta here with those ridonkulous requirements 😂
Had set up dualboot for bf6, then after playing a bit on release i realised the game isnt as good as bf3/bf4 and returned it. Havent booted into win11 since.
Runs Genshin impact: ✅
Runs the launcher: ❌
It works pretty well on proton. It’s just the launcher that doesn’t. So you need to update using a VM or windows, then run the exe instead.
It’s been a while though, and I haven’t tried playing it since before the volcano update. I think star rail is the same, but Honkai Impact 3rd doesn’t work, even in VMs
and it runs mafia the old country, which doesn’t have multi player crap or microtransactions, so yeah, absolute win
You can use https://launcher.moe/ 's software for Hoyo games btw. The top one is the one for Genshin Impact.
Though last I installed Genshin on Linux I remember there being a slight chance of getting banned because you had to disable the anticheat to run it on Linux, but I never had it happen to me and I’m not sure if that’s still valid.
The game’s anticheat is very tame generally. I’ve seen some friends run all sorts of cheats with no real repercussions, only getting a one week temp ban for editing their damage to the maximum integer limit.
Last I played the game was single player… fuck these companies man
Warframe - Linux: ✅️
Conclusion, Linux wins.
Everything I can find tells me Genshin has been running on Linux for three years. Haven’t tried it though
It does, the launcher and updates, too.
I miss peak Destiny 2 tho. It was the only reason I dual booted for many years.
Same, I got in just and the end of the good stuff so didn’t have that long to really enjoy it. I did love my time playing but there was so much that made it clear it was only gonna get worse. Seeing Bungie fall like that really sucked, they had been my favorite game dev all the way since halo 1, and look at them now…
