So anyways, I've been playing Baldurs Gate and Genshin on Linux and it's pretty dope

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The steam deck being on a Linux architecture really pushed this forward. Go Linux! And go ARM!

[–] SnowdenHeroOfOurTime@unilem.org 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Steam deck is arm? How the hell did I miss that?

[–] rooster_butt@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That didn't sound right to me since i knew it was AMD. but long story short, no it's x86 64 bit. It's an APU. The CPU portion is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_2

Thanks! I knew that running windows and Linux on arm is weird still especially the latter so that makes more sense

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

No it’s not ARM. But the arm platform is really promising.

Valheim works like a charm too

[–] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Valheim doesn't work anywhere like a charm, Windows included. They like certain nVidia cards but other than that it's one of the worst optimized games I had disfortune to use.

[–] Phen@lemmy.eco.br 4 points 1 year ago

It works fine if you're the chosen one.

I can play it fine in my machine, both windows and Linux, but most of my friends can't get it to work anywhere close to fine.

It's also terrible on steam deck.

[–] zod000@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It runs fine for me on Linux, same as it does in Windows, always has since release. I am using an Nvidia card though, so maybe I lucked out.

[–] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

From my experience it's almost luck based.

[–] plofi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thats unfortunately true.What I ment was that it runs much better than windows that tend to BSOD if I'm lucky or shut down my computer after a couple of minutes.

genshin works on Linux now? I thought it's anticheat wasn't compatible with proton

[–] mojo@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

They actually made the anti cheat compatible. You just run the exe through wine-ge (I use lutris for that) and it just works. Nothing is modified. Lutris installer also has an installer script that just runs a clean unmodified exe from mihoyo's site.

I've been running it since 3.8 just fine, everything just works in it. Apparently it's been supported since 3.5.

Avoid AnAnimeGame Launcher, that is the launcher where they modify your files, which is completely unnecessary now that it's compatible.

[–] Caboose12000@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

woah, so I could even just add it to steam and use vanilla proton, huh? guess it's time to make space for another couple dozen gigs in my hard drive lol

[–] Phen@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wonder if the anticheat actually works that way or it just makes the game think it works.

[–] mojo@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Probably works that way, because it used to be a kernel level anti cheat which Wine can't fake. If an anti cheat runs in user space (which they should, kernel level is a massive security issue), then it should run with Wine just fine.

The ban hammer will come soon.

[–] Kekin@lemy.lol 2 points 1 year ago

Personally, I don't see it coming anytime soon. I played genshin on linux for maybe over a year, and with the fps unlocker for maybe almost 2 years, on both windows and linux, and have never been banned.

I stopped playing on version a few months ago though.
