Wut? BG3 runs flawlessly out of the box for me. Pretty vanilla Mint install, Nvidia 4060.
Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

I spent a couple hours trying to get Baldur’s Gate 3 running on Linux. It was rough but I got it to run at 1440 but the latency made it sort of unplayable. It runs great in Windows 10 at 4k with the default settings. I have some other windows-only software so I guess I’m going to “upgrade” all my computers that are able to do so but I don’t feel good about it. All my computers dual boot windows/linux, I would love to be linux-only.

Ah good to know, i was thinking of buying this game.

Take advantage of your store’s refund policy as needed, but I can count the games I’ve had compatibility problems with on one hand, and one of them is because Indiana Jones is pushing ray tracing as mandatory.

Nvidia?

That’s really unusual. I’ve found, if anything, most of my games run better since switching to Linux. Nothing runs so much worse and I have rarely needed to apply launch options. I wonder if your games aren’t running on your iGPU inadvertently? That’s the only thing that comes to mind that would cause that much of an issue.

What Linux distro and version do you run? Do you have proton installed and all the drivers? It should run flawlessly.
ramenshaman@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Ubuntu 24.04, as far as I know I have all the right Proton stuff installed and the latest Nvidia drivers.

Have you tried running it with GE-Proton?

In case you’re not aware, and for any uninitiated that see this comment www.protondb.com/app/1086940 protondb is a fantastic database of Linux compatible games and crowd sourced suggestions on getting the best performance.
Baldurs Gate 3 ran flawless for me, but everyone’s mileage may very depending on computer specs and Linux distro. Proton, and its counter part Proton-GE, work wonderfully the majority of the time. Biggest issue I run into anymore is anti cheat. Which can also be verified by areweanticheatyet.com
For reference, I’m running all AMD with hardware thats a few years old now. Fedora 41 with some tweaks like feralinteractives’ gamemode installed. You can install and use ProtonUp-QT to manage the Proton-GE versions and keep them up to date. I’ve been primarily Linux at home for a couple of years and have not missed windows. I hope more people are encouraged to try Linux and see what it has to offer

I know of that site, but in many ways I can’t stomach following trial-and-error debugging steps to try to get a perfect experience. Very rarely has it been one command line option and then the game runs as perfectly as Windows.
