  The steam deck being on a Linux architecture really pushed this forward. Go Linux! And go ARM!

    Steam deck is arm? How the hell did I miss that?

      That didn’t sound right to me since i knew it was AMD. but long story short, no it’s x86 64 bit. It’s an APU, nut the CPU portion is this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_2

        Thanks! I knew that running windows and Linux on arm is weird still especially the latter so that makes more sense

      No it’s not ARM. But the arm platform is really promising.

  Valheim works like a charm too

  • MeanEYE@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Valheim doesn’t work anywhere like a charm, Windows included. They like certain nVidia cards but other than that it’s one of the worst optimized games I had disfortune to use.

      It works fine if you’re the chosen one.

      I can play it fine in my machine, both windows and Linux, but most of my friends can’t get it to work anywhere close to fine.

      It’s also terrible on steam deck.

      Thats unfortunately true.What I ment was that it runs much better than windows that tend to BSOD if I’m lucky or shut down my computer after a couple of minutes.

  genshin works on Linux now? I thought it’s anticheat wasn’t compatible with proton

  source

  • mojo@lemm.ee ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    They actually made the anti cheat compatible. You just run the exe through wine-ge (I use lutris for that) and it just works.

    Avoid AnAnimeGame Launcher, that is the launcher where they modify your files, which is completely unnecessary now that it’s compatible.

      woah, so I could even just add it to steam and use vanilla proton, huh? guess it’s time to make space for another couple dozen gigs in my hard drive lol

      I wonder if the anticheat actually works that way or it just makes the game think it works.

      source

      • mojo@lemm.ee ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Probably works that way, because it used to be a kernel level anti cheat which Wine can’t fake

    The ban hammer will come soon.

      Personally, I don’t see it coming anytime soon. I played genshin on linux for maybe over a year, and with the fps unlocker for maybe almost 2 years, on both windows and linux, and have never been banned.

      I stopped playing on version a few months ago though.
