Holy cow, Linux works - Steam Proton

[BitMaster]

Will give it a shot asap !

 

Thats good news :)

You should test WINE 4.0 as that is now released!

 

 

Yes I tested it as mentioned in my previous post :) it works perfectly but I stick to wine 3.21 because linuxtrack doesn't work yet on wine 4.

Which Linux distribution are you using?

I have now a fully working DCS on linux with this prefix setup (my system is archlinux with nv drivers 415.27) :

- tkg-protonified-3.21 (from lutris), with corefonts and vcrun2015

(wine-staging 4.0 will work too, but linuxtrack doesn't work yet on this version)

- dxvk 0.95

- trackir with linuxtrack 0.99.18

- addons seems to work, either keyless or with starforce (I could run the F18 and the A10C)

 

Framerate is fine, always 50 to 70 fps on high settings (my setup is i5 4590k + gf 1070, 16GB ram)

 

Issues :

- Opening F10 map always crash the game.

- I don't manage to use some keys like RAlt (could be specific to my locale)

- If terrain doesn't render (you only see static buildings and trees above water), try setting MSAA option to 4x (when I lower this setting, I lose terrain rendering)

- If you have no sound, your may be missing libavcodec.so.57 and libavutil.so.55 (on archlinux install ffmpeg-compat-57)

 

 

edit:

I'm still having terrain rendering issues, seems to not always be linked to MSAA setting, so I'm not sure how to fix that then.. a wine/dxvk professional should help me :)

 

 

Any chance you could throw together a howto for this? Especially if you're able to integrate it to Proton and Steamplay?

I have just tested DCS World 2.5.4 with Wine-staging 4.0 rc7 and dxvk 0.94.

It works quite well for me (5 to 15 frames less than under Windows), only the mirrors have to be left out (otherwise the game crashes).

It is important to install the corefonts, otherwise the game crashes.

I use a Ubuntu 18.04 with Mesa 18.3.1 and an AMD Radeon VEGA graphics card.

Unfortunately I can't test a public multiplayer server because I can only be reached externally via IPv6.

 

Probably off topic, but why don't you have an IPv4 address?

pretty obvious he is behind a nat and does not have a dedicated ip address allocated.

Being locked to IPv6 on a home network seems like a rare problem to me, so its not exactly "obvious" why. Yes there are a couple reasons that could be a thing, hence the question why. So you could, ya know let the person answer themselves.

Almost right.

I have an internet connection from a TV cable provider.

There the cable modem gets an IPv6 address, over which my home network is accessible from the outside.

Additionally I have a Dual Stack Lite for IPv4, which is a NAT on ISP side.

Via this IPv4 I can address other servers, but I don't get any requests on this IP passed to me.

Could you make a youtube video to show this game running on Linux?
