If you're usinng Debian and NVidia, install package libnvidia-rtcore otherwise it will crash on startup (and I guess it's the same w/ every rtx compliant GPU)

You might want to tell people where to get it from. I'm assuming it's part of the NVidia proprietary driver package but I don't know that for sure. It's not that helpful.

[julek]

To be more specific the following file must be present on your system :
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnvidia-rtcore.so.[driver_version]

On Debian it is in package libnvidia-rtcore. On Ubuntu it is in libnvidia-gl-xxx (where xxx is your driver version), example there : https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal-updates/amd64/libnvidia-gl-460/filelist - for other distros you must search a bit but you get the idea.

And if you installed the drivers with Nvidia's installer it'll already be there.

True but with modern packages using nvidia installer directly is not a great option.

Building those packages is kind of a pain when your distro doesn't ship packages for the version you need. Using the nvidia installer is generally easier. But yeah, it's not something I'd recommend to just anybody.

There is no Ubuntu release named “Ubuntu 20” – 20.04 or 20.10?

Also, what version of libc6 does the game executable require? 'Cos if that's newer than 2.28, the game won't work on Debian stable without installing libc6 from testing…

It might be time for you to switch to Bullseye, the current testing. The hard freeze phase is reached, and the number of RC bugs is falling down. To have been using it for two months it works verry well, no major issue.

WOw, so you where able to run this game naively without all the proton trickery on Debian?

On bullseye yes. If you have NVidia driver make sure that all the RTX stuff is installed, especially libnvidia-rtcore.

Apparently, it requires glibc 2.29:
/lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found

Not gonna upgrade until late 2022

Looks like stability is random : for some people it's rock solid, for other like me it crashes like hell. Which lib dependencies do you rely on ? Looks like it is not even a distro issue since the game is very stable on Manjaro for some people and crash prone on Ubuntu and debian-based distros.

If you tell us the libraries we need to install this would be of great help, not only the distro.

NOTE : the game seems to be *much more* stable when borderless fullscreen window is enabled. Could you please add the checkbox in the UI (as it is already possible to enable it through config file) ?

Not really good, leaving the game not working on any distribution's current stable release, although they do at least specify the most significant half of the major version number of a version of Ubuntu which happens to be newer than Debian stable. So this is kind of expected.

18.04 is currently, for reasons such as this, a better choice for minimum requirement – but only with backports.

Any distribution? Minimum System Requirements are there for a reason.

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS was available since April, 2020 (and year later after the comment, in April, 2022, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS became available).
