Steam Play (Linux/WINE/Proton)

[dvlcube]

I see there's no native Linux support, but does it work via Steam Play?

Note: I know the easiest way to play Windows games is to use Windows, but if it worked fine on WINE it would be great. Just curious.

Title does not via Proton (Steam Play), or Wine+DXVK. The game will launch, take you to the title screen, and initial Loading animation, however will then go to a black screen and hang indefinitely with 2 cores at 100%. Leaving the game running overnight did not ultimately load.

If you're looking to play on Linux, do not buy at this time.

That may be your experience but I've been playing via Steam Play on Manjaro Linux and, outside of known issues with story mode, the experience has been flawless.

Do a bit of research to see if anyone else has had issues with a particular distro or hardware setup that's similar to yours. It may just require a little tweaking but it's totally playable.

What hardware are you two running on linux? Interested to know if it might be an AMD or nvidia driver issue.

[bkt]

GTX 1080, with the latest drivers.

I was able to get the game working with proton. i7-8700k, gtx1080...biggest issue is story mode will not load. other than that the game is playable, offline and on. also had pad issues but im not sure thats the game or just my pad in linux so im not 100% sure, requires more testing

Do you have links to doing the tweaking? I can get the game to run on my Radeon VII system but not on RTX 2080ti same OS and even on the Radeon VII the main issue is it doesn't pickup the controllers (bluetooth or directly plugged in via USD). The only useful piece of information on ProtonDB as far as how people are playing is that the only poeple able to get working controllers are using ArchLinux.

As far as I know, the controller issue isn't specific to Proton. I'm a keyboard player so I'm afraid I can't offer much help, there.

Similarly, I can't speak to AMD cards, specifically, but if you check the Proton github page [github.com], there are all sorts of issues that have been resolved or are being researched. That was my starting point for everything I couldn't figure out on my own.

Mind you, most of the tweaking that I'm referring to was actually done back when I was giving Tekken 7 and Soulcalibur VI a shot. This video helped a lot: SteamPlay & Proton: All You Need to Know . DOA worked for me out of the box, so to speak. Again, this is without having a need/desire for a game pad or fight stick.

Or you can use Qjoypad like me, to play with a keyboard emulator, that I use in KOF 98 UM FE, because this game recognize an analog control that doesn't exist, that is pressing all the times up-right or down-left... I have first to launch the game, then insert pads, use QJoypad to emulate keyboard functions, to play KOF 98 UM FE without having this crappy bug.

Anyway, a lot of modern games works on Linux, and games that are not working in my case are mostly games for Win 95, like Sega Rally, Virtua Fighter 1/2 PC, and similar. I never tried Steam version if there is any, I was talking about the Saturn versions converted for Windows
