Valheim for Chromebook
I have it for the PC. It would be nice IF there was a version for Chromebook. I got it working on my Chromebook but you need to install Steam through a Virtual Linux box running. It lags and i know it shouldn't. If there was a version working just for Chromebook i would purchase and support it.

  • ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?

XD In all seriousness this game uses very modern lighting and semi-modern physics which means it does tend to lag on pretty much anything that can't run Cyberpunk well.

Chromebooks are probably underpowered for games with high graphics content. They are aimed more at the on the go web surfer/stufent crowd.

Add to that the overhead of running Steam,Proton, and Valheim at the same time on ChromeOS and your not going to get very good performance from the game.

Probably even a native Unity game engine client wouldn't help much as Chromebooks just aren't made for gaming.

WELL, yes. i know that. I do have a high end Chromebook. But you're right. Looking for good games to run on a Chromebook i figured i would give this a try.

You could run the free version of Gforce now

My Chromebook has a Ryzen 5 and Radeon graphics so i think gForce wouldn't really apply. Thank you though i will keep that in mind if i come across that.

GFN is accessible through a browser based client on non-nvidia hardware. I've used it to do a couple of multiplayer assists while visiting non gaming households, it's surprisingly good graphically but suffers a lot from input lag.

I believe there's a lot of work gone into getting Steam working with Chromebooks. I suspect this will be the supported way.

Yes. There is. It will be out soon. There are linux apps that work well with Steam. SO, i suspect IF it is to even run right on a Chromebook it needs to be a "Linux conversion" or written for Linux. I'm trying to get away from anything Microsoft.

You and Valve both. Saving up hardware money to see where the Steam Deck goes.

Chrome, though... Is Alphabet's bullcrap really an upgrade on Microsoft's?

Well IF they give it good hardware it "could" be another gaming platform. People will spend the money to just do it (me) just because.
