Game works well on Linux

Hello sim-divers.
The game does well on Linux.
I tested it on Arch and everything went smooth.
Great work devs.

Steering wheel Logitech G29 xbox version also works well with this game.

Quick question. Does Linux help with performance ? Microsoft has so much running in the background I have like 10gb ram being used in idle.

Windows 11 is rubbish with its advertisements and news stuff. Plus data collection.

it is not really used, the more you have, the more it will "reserve" Win 10 can run without issues with 256mb RAM

Cheers. I did not know that. About the more RAM = more reserved.

Works well on debian here, also with a G29.
I think windows is probably the same as linux in that ram will be used to cache stuff. If you start up a program that needs a lot of memory the OS will dump some of that cache. Unused ram is wasted ram.

My G29 works without force feedback. I'm using pyLinuxWheel and I can test the force feedback and see the inputs being recognized by my laptop. Steam isn't recognizing the wheel as a controller, it just says "No controllers detected". Raceroom does pick it up and I can turn and use the pedals but the force feedback section is unavailable.
Any help? I'm using debian 12.

Are you using the drivers new-lg4ff? Also it shouldn't show up as a steam controller so that's ok.

I've tried, I'm not sure I installed them properly so that might be the issue.

I use Linux, and my graphics card isn't great, but I usually run full graphics except for motion blur, and it usually has very good FPS unless the track is bumpy such as Raceroom Raceway or Daytona.
