    DCS on Linux??

    in DCS Core Wish List

    Posted

    Since Windows 7 is nearing an end, I wanted to give DCS under Linux a try again.

     

     

    I actually got it to start using Steam (I'm not using the stand-alone version), proton, protontricks and winetricks.

    He're is what I did:

    1. Install DCS using steam (obviously), first without any DLCs (to exclude activation problems)

     

    2. Add vcrun2015 and corefonts:

    protontricks 223750 vcrun2015
protontricks 223750 corefonts

    3. Run it, it starts up in windowed mode.

     

     

     

     

    No it's far from running perfectly, but at least it started. That's progression, I'd say. :)

    There are rendering issues. MXAA doesn't work (gives you weird coloring) and even without, it looks very strange.

    Performance was horrible, but I think it would be better if using DXVK.

     

     

     

    After that, I added the Huey DLC to see if activation also works and indeed it does.

     

     

    So there is hope for us Linux users that at some point it'll actually work. :thumbup:

     

     

    (Obviously a proper port would be even better, but that'd be a long way to go. A very very long way.)

     

     

    Edit: I tried with an updated version of radv and now DXVK/radv works. Visual glitches are gone as well.

    Performance in high profile is ok, 35-40 fps with my RX Vega 64, but a bit worse than on Windows 7.

    Arount 60 fps in Medium profile.

    Joysticks work as well.

     

     

    So … good progress. :)

    I am considering moving to Linux and would like to know more about the compatibility of dcs world on linux. Do you have any other info?
