Installed in the last week. Ran into an issue starting the game on EndeavourOS using Lutris without steam but quickly resolved it by deleting some of the game files so it forced a redownload.

The graphics looked fine to me using the AMD 7900 XTX in all of the menus but when I got into a match most UI elements and cards were blacked out. Switching from "ultra" to any other graphic preset fixed the colors for me.

I haven't tried using Steam or Proton for Arena

I can't install it, tried the 3 available versions on Lutris and none worked. How did you do?

[–] PrettyLights@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can't install how? What is the error? There is a log in Lutris.

[–] kariboka@bolha.forum 2 points 1 year ago

I did not saw your comment earlier lol. I don't remeber the error but eventually got it working with another Proton version. Thank you for your interesting in helping me though <3

I played in manjaro, I just used gamescope to force full screen on my ultrawide, but this support does not even existe on windows so just bônus points

Was it long ago? I can't finish the install in Lutris :/

[–] angrymouse@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Now you said I remember having problems, I will try to install here and see what it does.

Ok, there are 3 versions you can choose when you install, the "latest modern" worked like a charm here, the first one in the list. The other two fail to me as well.

E que porra é essa de bolha.forum aí? De onde vcs vieram?

[–] kariboka@bolha.forum 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I used to play it quite a bit, it worked fine.

I play mtga often on Debian-based. Wouldn't expect arch to be different.

[–] kariboka@bolha.forum 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am having trouble installing with Lutris, Do you remember how did you install it?

[–] GrappleHat@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah, I install all of my Lutris games "manually". The process goes something like this:

  1. Prerequisites
    • Download the MTGA installer
    • Create a directory where you want the MTGA wine prefix to live (I use /home/my_username/Games/mtg/)
  2. In Lutris, press + to add a new game, and set the following:
    • Name: "Magic The Gathering Arena"
    • Runner: Wine
  3. Click Game Options, set the following:
    • Executable: /path/to/MTGAInstaller.exe
    • Wine prefix: /path/to/your/wine/prefix/location/ (As I mentioned above, I use /home/my_username/Games/mtg/)
  4. Click Save
  5. Optional, if the game art doesn't auto-populate:
    • Click Lutris under "Sources" on the left -> Community Installers
    • Search for "magic arena", and wait for results to populate (the search downloads the art)
    • Exit the community installer section
  6. Click Play in Lutris
    • From here it should set up the Wine prefix and install the game. Once that is done then quit the game (if it auto-launches).
  7. Set Lutris to the game's launch executable: right-click on the MTGA icon -> Configure -> Game Options
    • Executable: /installed/path/to/MTGALauncher.exe (for me it is /home/my_username/Games/mtg/drive_c/Program Files/Wizards of the Coast/MTGA/MTGALauncher/MTGALauncher.exe)
  8. Click Save and you should be good to go!

Good luck! If the game doesn't work following these instructions then you can try running with different versions of Wine (I'm using lutris-GE-Proton8-x86_64). And if it still doesn't work then I'd expect your issue might be with your GPU drivers.

Awesome! Thank you very much, I will try that!

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've played it on a Steam Deck. So it does work for arch based SteamOS.

[–] kariboka@bolha.forum 2 points 1 year ago

It worked in my garuda! it is great btw.

[–] bobman@unilem.org 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes, I would play Arena all the time on Manjaro.

I use the Lutris version. Occasionally the entire thing needs to be redownloaded from scratch, but that's it.
