Game is unplayable on Linux.

Unreal Engine games can't run on Linux. Studios should stop using it.

unfortunately an absolutely massive amount of people use windows due to how easy it is (wonder how long thatll last with windows 11 issues) so currently linux isnt the priority

[Zogtar]

With Proton and other linux based OS' supporting games, I can see that changing.

Maybe you should stop using Linux for gaming lol. You have 60$ for the game, but don't gave 100$ or less for Windows. shame.

WDYM? I Play on Mint and it just works. 60FPS on 1080p medium because my PC moves towards potato stage of it's life but it works.

Mine is working now! If you also have black screen but can hear some sound, maybe we have the same problem. I'm using NVIDIA card and Proton GE (proton experimental might also work I think), I change the launch options to: VK_DRIVER_FILES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json %command%
And it worked smoothly.

Why should you pay so much for an operating system that still forces ads on you by default? It's absolutely incomprehensible.

I've been playing on Linux for a while now, and I even develop using UE5 on Linux: no issue.

I've played this game on a small 7600X/RX6650XT but also on a 5950X/RT4070Ti Super and it's all fine.

It even works on SteamDeck which isn't exactly the most powerful machine out there.

None of us is switching to linux because of the 10$...

Linux runs UE games better than when I had Windows. Black Myth included

On Garuda Linux, I was getting slightly better performance than on windows all the way up to chapter 6, after which the game performs terribly and crashes due to vram issues. No idea why.

[Moses613]

Not true
Game runs fine on Linux, check your Proton settings

It turns out this issue only happens in that large open area where you can fly on the cloud. This doesn't happen on Windows, only on Linux (Garuda). Anyone else have this issue?
