I’m just curious I’d anyone here has successfully run arc raiders on Linux. If so what OS are you using and what was the setup if there was any?
The game is listed as ‘Platinum’ on ProtonDB: https://www.protondb.com/app/1808500
Arc raiders is steam deck verifiied, so it should run great on Linux.
I’m on CachyOS atm, and the setup just required hitting the install button. I’m gonna be honest, this game runs incredibly good, even on my laptop. I’m getting well over 100fps stable, and I’ve got it on High settings with DLSS on Quality, but framgen off. I’m gonna test it for a few more matches, then see if I can crank it to Ultra and turn DLSS off.
it was also just Steam Deck verified.
For how good the game looks, it runs amazingly.
It’s mostly good art direction than cutting edge tech.
It just got Steam Deck verified.
I have 82 hours and crashed once during a match early on. Otherwise flawless performance and experience.
Oh there is a small stutter when quest cutscenes begin to play for the first time but that’s not bad.
It works fine.
Arch
The setup was install it and press play.
I did add the ENVs for HDR.
If anyone knows an easier way to manage all of my steam game’s wine versions and command line arguments, lmk
Running perfectly on Bazzite with a 4090.
The only issue I encountered is that the game really doesn’t like being installed to a second drive. The anti cheat throws a hissy fit about paths.
Been playing it since beta test on Bazzite. No tinkering just click install and play.
Works fine for me on gnome/ubuntu/nvidia, altho it crashes if I tab out while a map is loading
Runs amazing on Kubuntu for me. The only issue I had was the mouse leaving the game to my other monitor. A steam launcher command fixed it pretty easily though!
I have been having crashes consistently on Linux that I don’t get on windows, personally. But seems more like a me issue as most people say it runs great.
Are you using GE-Proton?
I had stability issue with Proton and Proton Experimental.
Yes I have been using Proton - I have tried Hotfix, Experimental and the default one. Haven’t heard of Ge-Before is that something separate?
Ah.
GloriousEggroll keeps a version of proton that uses all of steam updates plus additional updates made by the community (to fix odd issues) and protonfixes (a database of scripts to make the weird game-specific configurations you need to make sometimes). I use it exclusively because I’ve had issues with regular Proton. I think the default Proton versions are still version 9(or there’s an experimental Wine 10 version). GE-Proton10 is using Wine 10, so it has support for native Wayland and HDR.
Your distro probably has protonup-qt in its repo. It’s a GUI to download and install various community proton versions. Just run it, click install new version and grab the latest GE-Proton10-(28?) and restart Steam and it’ll show up in the list of Proton versions that you can pick.
For the most part it runs better than it does on my W11 install. I can even force a 7000 series FSR4 on my 6800XT.
CachyOS using their native proton.
Some people report crashes but it works for me on GE Proton 10-24. On Arch btw.
I’m on arch and it works great
