Linux support?

[AciD]

Another great-looking game published by Devolver, so the usual question; will it support Linux at some point? :)

[MrΩ]

well, proton is a massive and horrible kludge (microsoft grade), and I was wondering if a lean wine win64/vulkan stack can make it work since it is unity on doz.
It is a matter of dependencies I think.

[Slamoo]

I haven't compared the actual size, but you could try Bottles as a middle-ground for making things more lean. Certainly not as lean as manually fine tuning a stack but most certainly faster and I'd imagine leaner than Proton?

I am happy to report that Cult of the Lamb works on Steam Deck!:heart_eyes_yeti:

Excellent news.

I'm wondering why Steam says the game works on MacOS but why it wouldn't work on Linux. What does MacOS as a (admittedly far) Unix descendant has that Linux doesn't offer?

+1 for Linux support! I'd be content with running it through Proton if it worked perfectly. However, like others reported, it has a 90% chance of crashing if I unfocus the window,

I'm playing Cult of the Lamb on Ubuntu 22.04 (with

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%

launch command to avoid a crash at the beginning). A lot of linux users are playing too: https://www.protondb.com/app/1313140

How did you download the game from Steam on Linux? The Steam client won't let me I think

[AciD]

I can confirm that with an AMD card you do not need to use the `PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%` launch command.

It just works out of the box flawlessly so far (7 hours in) with Proton and a PS5 controller.

Let's hope future updated won't break Proton!

Do video cutscenes work? Like the Devolver logo on startup. For me that works only with WINED3D.

[AciD]

Yes it does.
I'm using Debian testing with KDE.

Do note, after ~9h in, when I upgraded the cult shrine to level 3, I saw the animation where your flock is upgrading it, but then it gets stuck there, with your guys constantly hammering the statue.
It maybe a cross-platform bug though.
I had to alt+f4 to quit the game. I'm hoping the save did not get corrupted!

EDIT: It did not corrupt it ;)

I d love to see a native Linux version of Cult of the Lamb.

+1 native support
