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
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.
the only times i’ve had trouble playing a game on linux are when the developer specifically fucks with it so it won’t run on linux. the main reason for that is anticheat software, which, from what i’ve heard, doesn’t really help with cheating much anyways. my computer is my computer, i don’t need microsoft or some game company going into my kernel. can’t wait for some drm company to get hacked and have windows gamers up in arms because they got ransomewared.
I think one of the games got hacked via their anticheat and we’re able to mess around with other players. I don’t remember which one it was though. I don’t play any of these games so they all blend together for me
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.
Yeah this is only a win if you don’t play those games. Unfortunately these games are intensely popular and the lack of compatibility stunts the popularity of Linux. I expect there is a similar anti-meme of this list titled “why I’ll never install Linux”
You can run Genshin Impact on Linux
You can, but you shouldn’t
Huh. GTA online used to work fine? Did they update that?
A few months ago they added BattleEye anti-cheat but didn’t enable Proton compat
Quite a few of these games are in geforce now and geforce now has an official linux client now
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.
Is this the kernel-level spyware list?
Primarily, there are a few EAC games that haven’t checked the ‘Linux allowed’ box yet.
Hell yeah. Solid Dub.
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
Idc for any of these games. So yeah, Linux wins.
This is how i find out that they broke Apex on linux. Used to run just fine.
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
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.
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.
I’ve played Genshin Impact just fine on my Steam Deck using An Anime Launcher.
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.
No, it can’t.
The virgin BF6 ❌
The chad Insurgency Sandstorm ✅
Runs BF6: ❌
and it runs mafia the old country, which doesn’t have multi player crap or microtransactions, so yeah, absolute win
Ah man Xbox got SO close though.
Oh well, soon it won’t run at all…
